The present study investigated the relationship of some of the important antecedents (social status, social responsibility goal, feeling of school belonging, social efficacy with peer and social efficacy with teacher) with social goal orientation components of female 4th grade high school students in Ahwaz. The population of this study consisted of female high school students (1390-91) in Ahwaz. The sample of this study comprised of 300 female four-grade students who were selected randomly by multi-stage random sampling method. The instruments for collecting data consisted of Social Achievement Goals, Social Responsibility Goal, Social Status Goal, School Belonging, Social Efficacy with Peers, and Social Efficacy with Teacher Scales. Results of Canonical Analysis showed that linear combination of predictive variables (social status, social responsibility goal, sense of school belonging, social efficacy with teacher and social efficacy with peer) with a linear combination of social goal orientation components (mastery, performance-approach and performance-avoidance) is associated. The regression analysis also revealed that social status, social efficacy with peer and social responsibility goal have important roles in predicting social mastery goal. The Results also revealed that social status, social efficacy with teacher and social responsibility goal have important roles in predicting social performance-approach goal. Also, social status and social efficacy with peer have important roles in predicting social performance-avoidance goal.
