On Metamotivational Beliefs, Their (in)Accuracy, and How They Influence Goal Pursuit
Research exploring the impact of metamotivational knowledge (i.e., people’s beliefs about their own motivation) on goal pursuit has recently grown. Using a great variety of methodological approaches, this symposium gathers research investigating how metamotivational knowledge influences self-regulation strategies, guides inferences about others’ motivation, and sometimes turns out to be inaccurate.
