The model of fantasy realisation (Oettingen, 2000) specifies mental contrasting of a positive future with negative reality as a strategy that creates strong goal commitments. We propose that fantasies about a positive and negative future produce strong goal commitments when contrasted with the respective reality. The present study supports this hypothesis in the area of reducing cigarette consumption. Mental contrasting of a positive future with negative reality as well as mental contrasting of a negative future with positive reality led to taking immediate action when participants had high expectations of success. Results indicate that both fantasies about a positive future and a negative future can be used to commit to goals that benefit health and prevent disease.
幻想实现模型（Oettingen，2000）指定了将积极的未来与消极的现实进行心理对比作为一种策略，这种策略可以产生强烈的目标承诺。我们提出，当与相应的现实进行对比时，对积极和消极未来的幻想会产生强烈的目标承诺。本研究在减少吸烟量的领域支持了这一假设。当参与者对成功有很高的期望时，积极的未来与消极的现实进行心理对比以及消极的未来与积极的现实进行心理对比都会促使他们立即采取行动。结果表明，对积极未来和消极未来的幻想都可以用来为有益于健康和预防疾病的目标做出承诺。
