Abstract: The present study investigated the relationship between teacher-expectancy,self-worth and goal orientation.274 eighth graders of a middle school responded to questionnaires.The following results were obtained:(1) The demographic variables(gender and class type)had influence on teacher-expectancy,self-worth and goal orientation.(2)There were significantly positive correlations between variances of teacher-expectancy,self-worth and goal orientation:positive effect was positively related with every dimension of self-worth and goal orientation,and negative effect was negatively related with every dimension of self-worth and goal orientation.(3)After controlling the demographic variables,teacher expectancy and self-worth still played significantly predictive roles on goal orientation.(4)self-worth played a meditative role in the relevance between teacher-expectancy and the dimensions of goal orientation.

Key words: teacher-expectancy, self-worth, goal orientation, intermediate variable
