摘要

<p xmlns="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/JATS1">Despite a rich literature on goals, the notion of successful goal pursuit remains somewhat unclear. Most research on personal goal pursuit relies on subjective measures of goal progress and research that uses objective measures (e.g., grade point average) often ignores individuals’ idiosyncratic goals. The present research investigated the relation between diverse measures of goal progress in the context of academic and weight loss goals using four datasets (total sample = 351). Overall, subjective measures were positively related to objective measures. The magnitudes of these associations varied across studies and were generally smaller than would be expected if the measures assessed the same construct (R² = .05–.39). These findings suggest that subjective and objective measures may reflect related but distinct constructs. The present research draws attention to an important topic in the goals literature and highlights the need for additional research on the conceptualization and operationalization of successful goal pursuit.</div><span class="a-aminer-core-pub-c-paper-abstract-morebtn"><span>更多</span></span></div></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-c-paper-abstract-tranText">查看译文</div></div></div></div></span></div></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-titleBox"><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-keyTitle">关键词</div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-titleKeys"><span>successful goal pursuit,</span><span>goal progress,</span><span>objective measures</span></div></div></div><div class="background" style="margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px" id="summary"><div class="mainTitle"><span>AI 理解论文</span></div><div><div class="stitle" style="margin-top:16px;margin-bottom:16px"><span>溯源树</span></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-renderTree"><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-example"><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-topExampleText"><span>样例</span></div><img src="https://originalfileserver.aminer.cn/sys/aminer/pubs/mrt_preview.jpeg" alt=""/></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-layer"></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-pdfLoad"><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-pdfLoad_text"><span style="margin-right:24px"><svg class="icon" aria-hidden="true"><use xlink:href="#icon-suyuansu"></use></svg></span><span>生成溯源树，研究论文发展脉络</span></div></div></div></div></div></section><div><div class=""><section class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-rightBar"><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-commented "><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-bg"></div><div class="a-aminer-core-pub-index-title">Chat Paper</div><div class="a-core-home2-c-card-person-bottom-card-new-summary-index-summaryBox a-core-home2-c-card-person-bottom-card-new-summary-index-pubBox"><div class="a-core-home2-c-card-person-bottom-card-new-summary-index-loadingBox"><span class="a-core-home2-c-card-person-bottom-card-new-summary-index-loadingText">正在生成论文摘要</span><div class="ant-spin ant-spin-spinning"><i aria-label="icon: loading" style="font-size:24px" class="anticon anticon-loading ant-spin-dot"><svg viewBox="0 0 1024 1024" focusable="false" class="anticon-spin" data-icon="loading" width="1em" height="1em" fill="currentColor" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M988 548c-19.9 0-36-16.1-36-36 0-59.4-11.6-117-34.6-171.3a440.45 440.45 0 0 0-94.3-139.9 437.71 437.71 0 0 0-139.9-94.3C629 83.6 571.4 72 512 72c-19.9 0-36-16.1-36-36s16.1-36 36-36c69.1 0 136.2 13.5 199.3 40.3C772.3 66 827 103 874 150c47 47 83.9 101.8 109.7 162.7 26.7 63.1 40.2 130.2 40.2 199.3.1 19.9-16 36-35.9 36z"></path></svg></i></div></div></div></div></section></div></div></article></main></main></section></div> <script> window.g_useSSR = true; window.g_initialProps = {"global":{"collapsed":false,"preventRender":false,"isCompanyIp":false},"pub":{"paper":{"abstract":"\u003Ctitle xmlns=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\u002FJATS1\" \u002F\u003E \u003Cp xmlns=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\u002FJATS1\"\u003EDespite a rich literature on goals, the notion of successful goal pursuit remains somewhat unclear.
