两项研究使用了健康目标努力的自我和谐模型（K。M.谢尔顿& A. J. Elliot，1999）来研究人们在一段时间内提高幸福水平，然后在下一段时间内保持收益或甚至进一步增加收益的动机过程。在研究1中，进入新生与自我和谐的动机更好地实现了他们的第一学期的目标，这反过来又预示着增加的调整和更大的自我和谐下学期的目标。增加的自我和谐反过来预测在第二学期更好的目标实现，这导致进一步增加的调整和更高水平的自我发展到年底。研究2复制了在实验室中设定的短期目标的2周研究的基本模型。模型的限制和影响的问题，如何（以及是否）幸福可能会增加进行了讨论。
Two studies used the self-concordance model of healthy goal striving (K. M. Sheldon & A. J. Elliot, 1999) to examine the motivational processes by which people can increase their level of well-being during a period of time and then maintain the gain or perhaps increase it even further during the next period of time. In Study 1, entering freshmen with self-concordant motivation better attained their 1st-semester goals, which in turn predicted increased adjustment and greater self-concordance for the next semester's goals. Increased self-concordance in turn predicted even better goal attainment during the 2nd semester, which led to further increases in adjustment and to higher levels of ego development by the end of the year. Study 2 replicated the basic model in a 2-week study of short-term goals set in the laboratory. Limits of the model and implications for the question of how (and whether) happiness may be increased are discussed.
