摘要
Two studies are reported which deal with the directing function of goals in task performance. Subjects were given, on each trial, knowledge of their scores on two or more independent (uncorrelated) performance dimensions; but they set goals to maximize (or minimize) their scores on only one performance dimension. It was predicted that scores on a given dimension would be higher (or lower) when the subject was trying to maximize (or minimize) his score on that dimension than when he was trying for some other goal. The predictions were generally confirmed. © 1969.
