DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed research investigates how distance from a situation (temporal, spatial, and social) affects the role of personal goals in guiding individuals' responses to the situation. It is proposed that any kind of distance from a situation increases the likelihood that the situation will be construed in terms of individuals' primary goals than in terms of their secondary goals. Primary goals are therefore more likely to guide responses to distant than proximal situations, whereas secondary goals are more likely to guide responses to proximal than distant situations. The proposed research investigates the interrelations among psychological distance dimensions and the effects of these dimensions on (1) construal of situations, (2) commitment to one's primary goals, (3) task performance and retrospective evaluations, (4) self-control, and (5) the resolution of interpersonal conflict. If the predictions for the proposed studies are confirmed, they would suggest that from a psychologically distant perspective individuals are better able to focus on their core values and express their priorities in behavior. Individuals' sense of self-determination and psychological well-being depends on their ability to make choices that express their self-identity. The predicted results would suggest that it may be possible to increase the likelihood of such choices by making individuals think of their choice alternatives from a psychologically distant perspective.

描述(由申请者提供)：这项拟议的研究调查了与情景的距离(时间、空间和社会)如何影响个人目标在指导个人对情景的反应中的作用。有人提出，任何一种与情况的距离都会增加根据个人的主要目标而不是次要目标来解释情况的可能性。因此，主要目标比近距离目标更有可能引导对远距离情境的反应，而次目标更有可能引导对近距离情境的反应。本研究探讨了心理距离维度之间的相互关系，以及这些维度对(1)情景理解、(2)对个人主要目标的承诺、(3)任务绩效和回溯性评估、(4)自我控制和(5)解决人际冲突的影响。如果拟议研究的预测得到证实，他们将表明，从心理学的角度来看，个人能够更好地专注于自己的核心价值观，并在行为上表达自己的优先事项。个人的自我决定感和心理健康取决于他们做出表达自我认同的选择的能力。预测的结果将表明，通过让个人从心理上遥远的角度考虑他们的选择替代方案，可能会增加这种选择的可能性。
