以促进为重点的目标与以预防为重点的目标是有区别的。长期的理想目标(希望和愿望)以促进为重点，而目标(职责和责任)则以预防为重点。在长期目标实现(自我和谐或自我差异)与情绪频率和强度的相关研究(研究1-3)和将直接目标实现(即，成功或失败)与情绪强度相关的实验研究(研究4)中，对目标实现的情绪反应作为促进和预防目标强度的函数(概念为目标可及性)的假设进行了检验。所有研究都发现，当促进重点更强时，目标实现会产生更大的欢快-沮丧反应，而当预防重点更强时，目标实现会产生更大的平静-激荡反应。
Goals with a promotion focus versus a prevention focus are distinguished. Chronic ideal goals (hopes and aspirations) have a promotion focus, whereas ought goals (duties and responsibilities) have a prevention focus. The hypothesis that emotional responses to goal attainment vary as a function of promotion versus prevention goal strength (conceptualized as goal accessibility) was tested in correlational studies relating chronic goal attainment (self-congruencies or self-discrepancies) to emotional frequency and intensity (Studies 1-3) and in an experimental study relating immediate goal attainment (i.e,, success or failure) to emotional intensity (Study 4). All studies found that goal attainment yielded greater cheerfulness-dejection responses when promotion focus was stronger and greater quiescence-agitation responses when prevention focus was stronger.
