Focusing on Desirability Versus Feasibility: the Influence of Fit Between Goal Progress and Construal Level on Subsequent Self-Regulation
This research examines the relationship between goal progress and construal level and its influence on subsequent goal pursuit. Across four studies, we show that greater goal progress induces higher-level construals and that as people perceive greater goal progress, abstract thinking is more likely to promote goal-consistent behavior than concrete thinking.
