摘要：The present study examined the relationship between parental academic achievement pressure and self- efficacy mediated by student's achievement goal orientation among elementary school students. The 638 participants were fifth graders living in a metropolitan area. Analyses revealed that children who were high both in performance-goal and mastery-goal orientation reported highest perceived parental academic achievement pressure and slfeffcacy. Performance goal orientation played a mediation role in the relationship between parental academic achievement pressure and slfefficacy,while mastery -goal orientation did not.
