Examining intrinsic versus extrinsic exercise goals: cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes.
30 Mar 2009 Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study had two purposes: (a) examine the associations between intrinsic (relative to extrinsic) exercise goal content and cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes; and (b) test the mediating role ...

30 Mar 2009 Although goal progress is often hypothesized to be positively linked to well-being, existing research points to an inconsistent relationship and suggests that potential moderators need to be examined. This longitudinal study investigated whether 2 ...

Dispositional optimism and engagement: the moderating influence of goal prioritization.
30 Mar 2009 Research indicates that a positive relationship generally exists between dispositional optimism and goal engagement and attainment. The authors argue, however, that dispositional optimism may not always be associated with more active goal pursuit. ...

Blood pressure responder rates versus goal rates: which metric matters?
30 Mar 2009 Reducing blood pressure (BP) to guideline-recommended goals associated with reductions in cardiovascular risk is central to effective hypertension management. In addition to measuring BP reduction, clinical trials of antihypertensive agents should ...

30 Mar 2009 The current view of instrumental conditioning indicates that performance in the early stage of training is maintained by a representation of the outcome, as indexed by its sensitivity to changes in the value of the reward. In the present study, the ...

The case of pretense: observing actions and inferring goals.
30 Mar 2009 When we observe an action, we know almost immediately what goal is pursued by the actor. Strikingly, this applies also to pretend action (pantomime), which provides relevant information about the manipulation itself but not about the manipulated ...

Facilitating neural dynamics for delay compensation: a road to predictive neural dynamics?
26 Mar 2009 Goal-directed behavior is a hallmark of cognition. An important prerequisite to goal-directed behavior is that of prediction. In order to establish a goal and devise a plan, one needs to see into the future and predict possible future events. Our ...
