Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate high school students' achievement goal orientation patterns and their academic adjustment. Participants were 732 students in grade 10, from four high schools located in a major city of China (i.e., Beijing, Xi'an, Guangzhou and Fuzhou). Data were collected on students' reported achievement goal orientations, academic efficacy, academic self-handicapping, learning strategies and test anxiety. The results showed that:(1) Student achievement goal orientations could be divided into four types, namely, success-oriented group, academic-indifferent group, typical and non-typical mastery-oriented group. Typical and non-typical mastery-oriented groups were the majority; (2) The students in success-oriented group had the higher score on adaptive academic indicators (academic efficacy and learning strategies) and maladaptive academic indicators (self-handicapping and test anxiety) than typical and non-typical mastery-oriented groups; academic-indifferent group had the lowest scores on all variables. These results support the multiple goal theory and have important implications for the prevention and intervention of academic maladjustment.

Key words: high school students, achievement goal orientation, academic adjustment, latent profile analysis
