Drowning in the Rubicon: Current Findings on Action Crises and Goal Disengagement

Deliberating whether to continue or to abandon a problematic goal often leads to action crises (i.e., intrapsychic conflict) and, in consequence, to goal-disengagement. Four presentations explore both constructs’ antecedents and consequences. The symposium concludes with Peter Gollwitzer’s discussion of each presenter’s talk, positioning them within the Rubicon Model framework.
