Unveiling the Dynamics of New Year's Resolutions: Insights from a Swedish Research Study
- Today, I’ll be sharing findings from a paper authored by a team of researchers based in Sweden.
- Entitled A Large-Scale Experiment on New Year’s Resolutions: Approach-Oriented Goals are More Successful than Avoidance-Oriented Goals, this paper was published in the reputable peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE in December 2020.
- The researchers aimed to explore the nature of New Year’s resolutions, individuals’ confidence levels in adhering to their goals, and their overall success rates.
- They investigated whether framing resolutions as “approach-oriented” or “avoidance-oriented” impacted their achievement rates.
- Additionally, they examined whether receiving support in the form of information and exercises for goal-setting influenced resolution success.
