Abstract: Previous studies have mainly examined the effect of regulatory fit in the context of single goal-pursuit. However, the dynamics for multiple goal-pursuits have been left largely unexamined. Therefore, two studies were conducted to explore the role of regulatory fit under the different goal-pursuit conditions. First study, using bogus feedback following regulatory orientation framing for solving anagram tasks, revealed that the fit between prevention focus and negative feedback increased motivation in the post-feedback session. In the second study, participants allocated limited time between the two imaginary goals following regulatory orientation priming. Results showed that participants allocated higher levels of resources when they experience regulatory fit. Results highlighted the importance of the fit experience on resource allocation in the multiple-goal context.
