Abstract
In this study, the goal orientations of female riders between the ages of 7 and 20 and their parents are investigated. Goal orientations were identified by means of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire for Sport (AGQ-S) for: the daughter; the daughter's perceptions of her dominant-parent's goal orientation for the daughter; both parents' goal orientations; and both parents' stated goal orientations for their daughter. The rider's goal orientations were compared with: the rider's perception of her dominant-parent's goal orientation; both parents' goal orientations for the daughter; and both parents' own goal orientations.
