Goal Motives, Approach/Avoidance Appraisals, Psychological Needs, and Well-Being: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Berke Sezer1,
Hugh Riddell2,
Daniel F. Gucciardi3
et al.

Abstract: The self-concordance model (SCM) examines the entire sequence from goal inception to attainment, and presents a framework for how goal-regulatory strategies (e.g., goal effort) and outcomes (e.g., psychological well-being) vary based on the quality of motivation for goal striving. The first aim of this meta-analysis was to compile a rich literature on this topic spanning over 20 years and present a cohesive picture of the associations among the SCM constructs (Model 1). The second goal was to test alternative … Show more

“…We derived informative priors for the effect sizes of goal motives on coping strategies, goal progress, need satisfaction, and need frustration in the SCM (Sezer et al, 2023, ). We derived priors for typical effect sizes of MCII interventions from a meta-analysis on the effectiveness of MCII interventions ( k = 24, N = 15,907; G.…”

“…We made two departures from the preregistration due to insights gained after the registration. First, we adopted a Bayesian analytic framework (as opposed to a frequentist approach) to integrate recent meta-analytic evidence detailing the relevance of goal motives for goal progress, self-regulation, attainment, and need satisfaction (Sezer et al, 2023), and the influence of MCII on goal progress (G. . These meta-analyses provide robust prior knowledge about several key relations addressed here.…”

“…Conversely, striving for goals with controlled motives can contribute to frustration of these needs (Vansteenkiste et al, 2020). There are well-established links among autonomous motives, adaptive self-regulatory mechanisms, and need satisfaction (Hope et al, 2019), but the proposed associations among controlled motives, maladaptive regulation, and psychological need frustration have received less attention (Sezer et al, 2023; Vansteenkiste et al, 2020).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…An important predictor of whether or not a person achieves their goal is why they're pursuing it (Sezer et al. 2024). Pursuing goals because they're personally meaningful, value‐aligned, or enjoyable—called autonomous or “want to” motivation (Deci and Ryan 2000; Werner and Milyavskaya 2018)—increases perseverance, success, and positive affect (Clegg et al.…”
