Predicting subsequent task performance from goal motivation and goal failure (original) (raw)

Goals play a crucial role in everyday life, motivating individuals to strive towards desired outcomes. This study examines the relationship between goal motivation and responses to goal success or failure, proposing that the type of motivation influences behavioral persistence in the face of challenges. Despite expectations, findings suggest no significant moderating effect of goal motivation on responses to failure, underscoring the importance of publishing null results to enhance understanding in psychological research.
