Abstract
We conducted an online goal setting intervention over 11 weeks (N = 413, Mage = 21, 73% female). Vitality was higher for autonomous goals than for controlled goals, while it was significantly higher for motto goals than for smart goals and goals in the control group, especially for control-motivated goals.
