The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of middle school students' achievement goal
orientation and parental learning involvement on achievement emotions focused on mathematics. A survey
of 532 middle school students was conducted and the data of 379 were used in the final analysis.
Descriptive statistics, independent t test, correlation, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS
20.0. The specific results are as follows. First, the impacts of parental learning involvement on positive
achievement emotions were not statistically significant, regardless of the achievement level. On the other
hand, in the case of achievement goal orientation, outcome, mastery, and work-avoidance goal predicted
positive achievement emotions in the high level. Also, mastery and work-avoidance goal were statistically
significant in the low level. Second, parental learning involvement had an impact on negative achievement
emotions. Specifically, respect of learning style predicted in the high level and learning achievement
pressure impacted in the low level. Also, only work-avoidance goal had an effect on negative achievement
emotions, regardless of the achievement level.
