The participants involved in this study were the young athletes with the average age of 12 ~ 16 years old totaling 369 in number, from 24 junior high school distributed all over the northern, central, southern and eastern district of Taiwan. The participants completed a series of questionnaires measuring dispositional goal orientation (TEOSQ-C), perceived motivational climate (PMCSQ-C) and moral judgement (SDIT-C). The results of Chi-square (test of goodness of fit) indicated there is no significant different number of persons in each stage of moral judgement development among different groups of goal orientation or perceived motivational climate. The results of simple correlation analysis indicated that both task orientation and perceived mastery climate were positively relates to the score of moral judgement (r= .39, .14, p<.05), however, ego orientation and perceived performance climate were negatively associated with the score of moral judgement (r= -.11, -.17, p<.05). The results of one way ANOVA analysis and Duncan post comparison procedures exhibited the following findings: 1)There is no difference of moral judgement score among the team sports, individual sports and martial arts sports. 2)The dispositional task orientation of martial arts and individual sports were significant higher than that of team sports. 3)The participants of team sports experienced significant higher performance climate than individual sports. The results of two way ANOVA analysis and Duncan post comparison procedures exhibited the following findings: 1)There is no interaction between goal orientation and perceived climate on moral judgement. 2)The participants with high task/high ego and high task/low ego orientation reported significant higher score of moral judgement than the groups with low task/ high ego and low task/low ego orientation. 3)The participants perceived high mastery/low performance climate exhibited the highest score of moral judgement, and the participants with low mastery/low performance had the decreasing score of moral judgement; and the participants with high mastery/high performance and low mastery /high performance reported the lowest score of moral judgement. The results of stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that both task orientation and mastery climate were the two effective predictors of the moral judgement. Task orientation accounted for 15.5 % of variance but mastery climate explained only 1.0% of variance, which indicated personal dispositional task orientation played a relatively dominant function in predicting moral judgement. The results of this study were fully discussed for future research and also issued as suggestions for those who are interested in this topic. Key words: goal orientation, perceived motivational climate, moral judgement.
