Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between achievement goals and Ego-strength among a sample of university students in Tikrit. This research relied on the descriptive relational method. The sample consisted of 200 students, selected through stratified random sampling. The researcher used previously validated measurements by Taha (2019) to assess achievement goals, and Hassan's (2013) test to measure ego-strength. The results indicated a significant relationship between these two variables. In light of the study's findings, several recommendations and suggestions are presented.
