This paper discusses psychological approaches to intentions and to the limits of intentions and the biological foundations of intentions. Following a minimum common argument about what intentions are, psychological aspects of intentions are reviewed. We begin with a discussion of the developmental perspective on intentions. Then, the focus turns to the discussion of the limits of intentions, followed by the presentation of strategies that can help to overcome problems of goal setting and goal striving. Finally, different aspects of intentions are addressed, for instance, intentions as results of decisions after deliberation and as processes of conscious and unconscious goal striving.

The Many

Of the many people who make New Year’s resolutions, only very few achieve them persistently (Statistic Brain, 2017). This so-called intention-behavior gap extends well beyond the realm of New Year’s resolutions (Sheeran & Webb, 2016) and exemplifies the necessity to not only focus on the processes of goal setting (i.e., motivation) but also on the factors related to goal striving (i.e., volition) (Achtziger & Gollwitzer, 2018; Lewin, 1926). While a large body of research has addressed the motivational processes that enable effective goal setting, the volitional processes that govern the translation of these goals into actual behavior had long been neglected (Gollwitzer, 2012). However, the crucial relevance of volition in sports is intuitively clear: Motivating oneself to sign up for a marathon is considerably easier than actually training for and completing a marathon. In turn, research on volition in sports and exercise has received increased attention since the early 1990s (e.g., Beckmann & Strang, 1991) and this has greatly advanced the field. This Special Issue highlights some of these advancements and explicates promising avenues for further advancing volition research in sports and exercise.

And Performance

Abstract. The positive effects of goal setting on motivation and performance are among the most established findings of industrial–organizational psychology. Accordingly, goal setting is a common management technique. Lately, however, potential negative effects of goal-setting, for example, on unethical behavior, are increasingly being discussed. This research replicates and extends a laboratory experiment conducted in the United States. In one of three goal conditions (do-your-best goals, consistently high goals, increasingly high goals), 101 participants worked on a search task in five rounds. Half of them (transparency yes/no) were informed at the outset about goal development. We did not find the expected effects on unethical behavior but medium-to-large effects on subjective variables: Perceived fairness of goals and goal commitment were least favorable in the increasing-goal condition, particularly in later goal rounds. Results indicate that when designing goal-setting interventions, organizations may consider potential undesirable long-term effects.
