| Abstract: | The authors examined two sets of variables associated with commitment to difficult goals: situational (goal publicness) and personal (need for achievement and locus of control). A Person X Situation interaction also accounted for a significant increment of variance. Commitment to difficult goals was higher when (a) goals were made public rather than private, (b) when locus of control was internal, and (c) when subjects were high in need for achievement. |
