We want to help people improve their lives by setting good goals and help them to use optimal strategies to pursue their goals. However, the question about what good goals are is still an open debate, and measuring the impact of good goal pursuit is not a trivial question! With these projects, we aim to develop and evaluate new and existing measures of goal characteristics, proactive goals, proactive goal-pursuit, metacognitive knowledge, and much more.
