Past research has shown the importance of considering close others' interests when pursuing goals, but no research has examined potential moderators of this effect. Two studies examined how attachment style moderates the association between reasons for studying and academic outcomes. In Study 1, 119 participants reported their attachment style, the reasons why they study, and their study habits. As predicted, the association between relational reasons and studying was positive for secure individuals and negative for avoidant individuals. In Study 2, 195 participants reported their attachment style and reasons for studying, as well as their GPA and academic well-being. As predicted, the association between relational reasons and GPA was positive for secure individuals, whereas the associations between personal reasons for studying and academic well-being were positive for avoidant individuals. These results indicate the importance of considering individual differences as moderators of the association between goal motives and outcomes.
过去的研究表明，在追求目标时考虑亲近他人的利益非常重要，但没有研究探讨过这种影响的潜在调节因素。两项研究考察了依恋风格如何调节学习动机与学业成绩之间的关系。在研究 1 中，119 名参与者报告了他们的依恋风格、学习动机以及学习习惯。正如预测的那样，对于安全型个体来说，关系型动机与学习之间的关联是积极的，而对于回避型个体则是消极的。在研究 2 中，195 名参与者报告了他们的依恋风格和学习动机，以及他们的 GPA 和学业幸福感。正如预测的那样，对于安全型个体来说，关系型动机与 GPA 之间的关联是积极的，而对于回避型个体来说，个人学习动机与学业幸福感之间的关联是积极的。这些结果表明，考虑个体差异作为目标动机与结果之间关系的调节因素非常重要。
