Momentum strategies and their relationship with momentum determinants and goal momentum
Year: 2025
Type: study-registration
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between individuals' use of momentum-building strategies and their subsequent experience of momentum in goal pursuit. We hypothesize that individuals who report greater use of momentum strategies will demonstrate higher levels of goal momentum (H1) and momentum determinants (H2). Additionally, we hypothesize that the effect of momentum strategies on goal momentum will be partially mediated by momentum determinants (H3). We will recruit 550 U.S. adults through CloudResearch Connect who will complete a momentum strategy measure and momentum outcome measures for two different goals (health and work). Multiple regression analyses will test whether use of momentum strategies predicts experienced momentum and momentum determinants across both goals. Mediation analyses will test whether momentum determinants mediate the relationship between strategy use and momentum (i.e., the use of strategies impacts momentum by impacting momentum determinants).
