초록

The balance between achievement and personal life goals is important in personal development and happiness. The purpose of this study was to develop and verify the validity and reliability of the Life Goal Questionnaire which examines cognitive and behavioral aspects of achievement and personal life goals. The results showed that the Life Goal Questionnaire possesses internal reliability and measurement validity, along with criterion validity. In addition, cluster analysis of the results showed that students were divided into four groups based on the scores of the Life Goal Questionnaire- 1) balanced goals group, 2) achievement goal group, 3) personal life goal group, and 4) low goal group. Group analysis indicated that balanced goal group showed the highest level of life meaning, well-being, achievement motivation and self-concept among the four groups. These results indicated that the Life Goal Questionnaire is a valid measure of students' life goals and suggest educating students to develop their life goals that are not biased toward either achievement or personal life goals but balanced in both goals.
