Momentum beliefs and their relationship with experienced goal momentum
Year: 2025
Type: study-registration
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between individuals' beliefs about what builds momentum and their actual experience of momentum in goal pursuit. We hypothesize that individuals who hold stronger beliefs that certain factors build momentum will demonstrate higher levels of experienced momentum in their current goals (H1). We will recruit 450 U.S. adults through CloudResearch Connect who will complete a measure of Momentum Beliefs and Goal Momentum for two different goals (health and work). Multiple regression analyses will test whether momentum beliefs predict experienced momentum across both goals. We expect to find that momentum beliefs uniquely predict experienced momentum across both goals, supporting a consistent relationship between beliefs about momentum and actual momentum experiences.
