dc.description.abstractData from 77 undergraduates high in social anxiety and 75 undergraduates low in social anxiety were used to examine between- and within-group differences in idiosyncratic goal generation, plan generation, and anticipated affect related to goal pursuit. The data did not support the hypotheses related to between- or within-group differences in approach and avoidance goal or plan generation; the two groups did not differ in the number of approach or avoidance goals and plans. Both groups reported higher numbers of approach than avoidance goals and plans. Individuals high in social anxiety rated goals as more social. Although, both groups classified more goals as non-social than social, those high in social anxiety were more likely to classify goals as social. Social goals were expected to relate to less net affective cost or gain and have consequents lasting a shorter duration than non-social goals. When imagining goal pursuit, those high in social anxiety reported expecting more negative affect, more deactivated negative affect, less deactivated positive affect, and rated goal pursuit as less pleasant, but they did not differ from those low in social anxiety with respect to positive affect. Individuals high in social anxiety also believed that the consequents of imagining success would have a shorter duration than did those low in social anxiety and tended to believe that the consequences of failure had a longer duration than did the consequences of success, regardless of goal type, whereas individuals low in social anxiety anticipated the opposite pattern. The study concludes with discussion of how anticipated affect as a consequence of goal pursuit relates to the extant goal and affect research; strengths and limitations of the current research; proposed directions for future research; and potential clinical applications of these findings.
