Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between achievement goals, selfdeception, and submissive behavior.Participants were 412 university students from Sakarya University, Turkey.2X2 Achievement Goal Orientations Scale, Self-deception Subscale of Two Dimensional Social Desirability Scale, and Submissive Acts Scale were used as measures.Results showed that learning-approach goals related positively and performance-avoidance goals negatively to self-deception.Also learning-avoidance and performance-approach/avoidance goals associated positively with submissive behavior.Results from structural equation modeling showed that the model fitted well (χ2 = 2.45, p = .293,GFI = 1.00,AGFI = .99,CFI = 1.00,NFI = .99,RFI = .95,IFI = 1.00, and RMSEA = .021).The model delineated that self-deception was predicted positively by learning-approach and negatively by performance-avoidance goals.On the other hand, learningavoidance and performance-approach/avoidance goals predicted submissive behavior positively.
