两项研究考察了动机倾向在决定个人目标追求程度上对情绪健康的个体间差异的重要性。在代理和交流领域,动机是用图片故事测试来评估的,而自我报告的方法是用来评估目标属性的。研究1发现,与动机不一致的目标相比,朝着动机一致目标的进步可以解释学生的日常情绪幸福感体验。研究2发现,对动机一致目标的高承诺和高可达性的结合预测了一个学期内学生情绪健康的增加。相反,对动机不一致目标的高度承诺预示着情绪幸福感的下降。研究结果参照人类动机的两系统方法进行了讨论。
Two studies examined the importance of motive dispositions in determining the extent to which the pursuit of personal goals accounts for interindividual differences in emotional well-being. Within the domains of agency and communion, motives were assessed with a picture-story test, whereas self-report measures were used to assess goal attributes. Study 1 found that progress toward motive congruent goals, in contrast to progress toward motive-incongruent goals, accounted for students' daily experiences of emotional well-being. Study 2 found that the combination of high commitment to and high attainability of motive-congruent goals predicted an increase in students' emotional wellbeing over 1 semester. In contrast, high commitment to motive-incongruent goals predicted a decline in emotional well-being. Results are discussed with reference to a 2-system approach to human motivation.
