This online diary study investigated how motives interact with goal pursuit to predict daily autobiographical experiences. Participants (N =141) completed measures of implicit and explicit achievement, provided daily memories and reports of their goal pursuit during a three-week diary period. A stronger implicit achievement motive at the onset of the study was associated with more agentic (and fewer communal) autobiographical content. Goal progress was linked with using more agentic words, while goal attainability was related to using more communal words. Interactions between motives and goal pursuit on autobiographical memory suggests a trade-off: Favorable goal pursuit conditions may prompt people not motivated for achievement to shift their focus from agentic to communal themes, while individuals motivated for achievement maintain their priorities.
这项在线日记研究调查了动机如何与目标追求相互作用以预测日常的自传体经历。参与者(N = 141)完成了内隐和外显成就的测量,在为期三周的日记记录期内提供了日常记忆以及他们目标追求的报告。研究开始时更强的内隐成就动机与更多的能动型(更少的共享型)自传体内容相关。目标进展与使用更多的能动型词汇有关,而目标可实现性则与使用更多的共享型词汇有关。动机与目标追求在自传体记忆上的相互作用表明了一种权衡:有利的目标追求条件可能会促使没有成就动机的人将注意力从能动型主题转移到共享型主题,而有成就动机的个体则保持其优先事项。
