Manipulate Attributions to Improve Satisfaction For Nonconscious Self-Discrepant Behaviors

Individuals with interdependent self construal who are nonconsciously activated by variety-seeking goals are more satisfied with self-discrepant variety-seeking behaviors than those consciously activated after they realize their self-discrepant behaviors. Whether an accessible external attribution exists also impacts satisfaction. Perceived self determination fully mediates the relationship between attribution and satisfaction.
