Choice and Motivation Study

This study examines the influence of autonomy-supportive versus restrictive goal framing and the use of precommitment devices on journaling behavior. We aim to understand how these factors affect engagement and motivation. The findings will contribute to a broader understanding of how goal-framing and self-regulatory tools can promote sustained engagement in health-related behaviors and inform strategies for enhancing autonomy and long-term commitment.
