碩士 === 國立體育學院 === 教練研究所 === 93 === The purposes of the study were to examine: (1) the relationship between three-dimension goal orientation, group cohesion, and dropout intention. (2) the causal model of three-dimension goal orientation, group cohesion, and dropout. Participant were 233 (average age=16.29±.99 years) high school student athletes sampled from Taiwanese High Basketball League (HBL) with 7 teams including 100 females and with 7 teams including 133 males. Each participant completed Chinese-version of Three-dimension Achievement Goal Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), and Dropout Intention Scale. The results of Pearson correlation indicated that social orientation was positively related to task cohesion and social cohesion; and negatively related to dropout intention. Task orientation was positively related to task cohesion and social cohesion; and negatively related to dropout intention. Task cohesion and social cohesion were negatively related to dropout intention. The results of path analysis indicated that dropout intention was negatively predicted by social cohesion and task cohesion. Dropout intention was negatively predicted by task orientation. Social cohesion and task cohesion played as important mediators in terms of goal orientation predicting dropout intention. Based on the results of this study, the implications and future directions are proposed.
