q2 · i1 · associational · r?

Correlational analysis in Study 1 between trait questionnaires (CESD, TAI, BFI:NE) and the baseline goal parameter of the best-fitting model. The article reports small positive correlations (r = .12, r = .13, r = .11, ps < 0.05) and links this pattern to prior work on depression and high average goal levels.

"We also found that those who reported higher levels of depression, anxiety, and negative emotionality were more likely to set higher levels of goals (rs = .12, .13, .11, ps < 0.05)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Trait depression, anxiety, and negative emotionality correlate with baseline emotion parameters but not with temporal dynamics (Study 1) — related
• Trait test anxiety predicts performance-based goals, and in a path model state anxiety and worry, but not emotionality, link performance-avoidance goals to lower exam performance — related
• Mastery-avoidance goals are not significantly related to anxiety or depression — related
• The goal–internalizing relations are moderated by goal terminology, goal setting, education level, goal model, and cultural context — a broader claim this one bears on
