The purpose of this study was to increase understanding regarding the effects of goal-setting practices on a wide range of dependent variables over time. Goal type (control group, quality goal, quantity goal, and dual goal) was manipulated across 3 time periods. Goal x Time interactions were predicted such that quantity, effort, task interest, and positive affect would initially be low, but by later trials would be higher in the quantity and dual-goal conditions compared to the quality goal and control groups. Quality was expected to be greatest in the quality goal condition and to be relatively constant over time. Participants (N = 80) were undergraduates at a large midwestern university. Results indicated some support for our hypotheses in that Goal x Time interactions were found for quantity produced, rated effort, task interest, and positive affect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
