Motivated Cognition: Explorations in the Dynamic Interplay Between Motivation and Goal Representation

Friday, May 26, 2017 · Boston, MA

The talks in this symposium investigate how representations of goals as associations of means and ends are acquired and maintained (Custers & Pilditch), impact congruence between implicit and explicit goals (Sklar, Fujita, & Trope), affect goal pursuit and achievement (Freund & Kaftan), and are influenced by need states (Fishbach).
