Abstract

Does calendar format influence motivation? Participants viewed a calendar that portrayed either Sunday or Monday as first day of the week and completed the study either on Sunday or Monday. Participants reported more motivation to pursue self-nominated goals if the calendar portrayed the present day as beginning of the week.
