Goal pursuit is grounded: The link between forward movement and achievement
چکیده انگلیسی

We tested whether forward movement is cognitively associated with the achievement goal. We exposed participants to simple visual cues of forward movement, or not, and then measured their achievement motivation. The findings show that incidental exposure to forward movement cues nonconsciously activated an achievement goal. In Experiment 1, those primed with forward movement versus control cues showed significantly greater implicit positivity toward the concept of achievement. In Experiment 2, those primed with forward movement versus control cues performed significantly better on word puzzles. There was no effect on participants' conscious achievement motivation. We discuss the implications of the results for the perspective of goal pursuit as grounded cognition.


► Goals contain embodied and metaphorical information.
► Concept of achievement may become scaffolded onto simple forward movement.
► Visual cues of forward movement increased implicit positivity toward achievement.
► Visual cues of forward movement increased word puzzle performance.
