Two methods for experimentally inducing compassionate and self-image goals were tested with Japanese undergraduate students. In Study 1, participants wrote a short essay about either (a) an instance in which they felt blessed, (b) their desirable self-image, or (c) their activities of the previous day (control). However, subsequent compassionate and self-image goals did not differ between the three conditions. In Study 2, participants were presented with five values related to either compassionate goals or self-image goals, ranked them on how personally important they were and wrote an essay about their first-ranked value (Kao, Su, Crocker, & Chang, 2017). Both compassionate and self-image goals significantly increased from pre to post-test, but the effect was not moderated by condition. Possible reasons for the lack of effect are discussed. |
