The aim of this project is to develop and test a formal theory that explains the mechanisms by which people make choices amongst competing goals in a dynamic and uncertain environment (‘multiple goal pursuit’). People have to manage competing goals in a wide range of settings (for example, work, education, sport), yet the mechanisms are poorly understood. The theory is expected to integrate formal theories of self-regulation with formal theories of decision making, to provide a more general account of multiple goal pursuit. The project aims to test the predictions of the theory in a series of experiments in which people have to pursue two goals simultaneously. The experiments allow us to test competing views, and understand the mechanisms involved.

这个项目的目的是开发和测试一个正式的理论，解释了人们在动态和不确定的环境中（“多目标追求”）相互竞争的目标之间做出选择的机制。人们必须在广泛的环境中（例如，工作、教育、体育）管理相互竞争的目标，但人们对这些机制知之甚少。该理论有望将自我调节的正式理论与决策的正式理论结合起来，为多目标追求提供一个更一般的解释。该项目旨在通过一系列实验来测试该理论的预测，在这些实验中，人们必须同时追求两个目标。这些实验使我们能够测试竞争的观点，并了解所涉及的机制。
