From the supplier: Research shows that people's perception of their own ability and achievement goals are related to their performance in physical education. A study conducted among fourth, eighth and 11th grade students using questionnaires revealed that increased maturity led to a corresponding shift in personal ideas on ability and achievement goal. The younger students considered ability as a fixed capacity that may lower or heighten performance effort. The older students, on the other hand, were motivated more by their egos.
