The article reports, citing primary studies, that relational goals correlate with enjoyment (r = [.55; .74]), pride (r = .10) and shame (r = .12), indicating links with both positive and negative emotions.

"Studies have shown small to large associations with positive emotions such as enjoyment ( r = [.55; .74]) (Wallhead et al., 2013) and pride ( r = .10) (Rinas et al., 2020), as well as small associations with shame (r = .12) (Rinas et al., 2020)."
