Open Science Framework<\/strong>: Profile<\/a><\/p>\n

How do we help people attain their goals? Under the supervision of Dr. Marina Milyavskaya, Kaitlyn\u2019s research sought to answer this question by examining the process of goal pursuit from start to finish \u2013 that is, examining the contexts in which goals are set (where do our goals come from?), as well as goal striving and self-regulatory processes (why do we pursue our goals and what are the most effective strategies for success?) that ultimately lead to the attainment (or failure) of our goals.<\/p>\n

For her primary line of research, Kaitlyn examined the factors that best predict goal attainment over time. Using a series of longitudinal studies, she attempted to refine the vast literature on goal pursuit by comparing and contrasting the most prominent personality (e.g., big five, perfectionism), self-regulation (e.g., trait self-control, regulatory focus), and goal-specific (e.g., motivation, commitment) constructs.<\/p>\n

For her secondary line of research, Kaitlyn developed a series of studies examining how motivation influences peoples\u2019 perceptions of momentary temptations and desires that impede our pursuit of important long-term goals. Using eye-tracking and mouse-tracking paradigms, she was interested in understanding whether motivation influences the use of better self-regulatory strategies and\/or if motivation is associated with less desire for temptations in the first place.<\/p>\n

Finally, Kaitlyn also has a strong interest in quantitative (e.g., multilevel and structural equation modeling, Bayesian methods) and research methodology (e.g., experimental and longitudinal designs, tracing methods).<\/p>\n

Kaitlyn was co-supervised by Dr. John Zelenski in the 杏吧原创 University Happy Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n
