三项研究考察了目标脱离与目标重新投入倾向和身体健康指标(例如，健康问题、皮质醇节律、睡眠效率)之间的关系。根据研究表明，目标调整倾向与主观幸福感相关，作者预测，能够更好地摆脱无法实现的目标并重新投入到替代目标中的人，也可能体验到更好的身体健康。在这三项研究中，研究结果表明，摆脱无法实现的目标的能力与更好的自我报告健康和更规范的每日皮质醇分泌模式有关。相比之下，目标重投入与身体健康指标无关，但缓解了目标重投入困难带来的一些不利影响。研究结果还表明，主观幸福感可以在目标脱离倾向与身体健康之间起到中介作用。
Three studies examined associations between goal disengagement and goal reengagement tendencies and indicators of physical health (e.g., health problems, cortisol rhythms, sleep efficiency). Based on research showing that goal adjustment tendencies are associated with subjective well-being, the authors predicted that people who are better able to disengage from unattainable goals and reengage with alternative goals also may experience better physical health. Across the three studies, the findings demonstrate that the ability to disengage from unattainable goals is associated with better self-reported health and more normative patterns of diurnal cortisol secretion. Goal reengagement, by contrast, was unrelated to indicators of physical health but buffered some of the adverse effects of difficulty with goal disengagement. The results also indicate that subjective well-being can mediate the associations between goal disengagement tendencies and physical health.
