Hint: Who you choose to share them with can play a big role.
For the second part of the study, 171 college students had to move a slider on a computer screen to the number 50 as many times as possible within 90 seconds. After counting how many times they were able to do this, they had to set a goal for how many times they could accomplish the task the next time around.
The second group had to tell their goals to the same lab assistant. This time, though, he was dressed casually and said he was a student at the local community college. This person was deemed someone with a lower status than the participants.The overall results from both of these sub-studies indicated that those who shared their goals with someone whose status they respected were more likely to achieve them.
That means you may be more likely to stick toward hitting your goal because you want the person you respect to view you positively for persisting toward it, and also not to think less of you, like they may if you give up and fail to achieve what you are targeting.Interestingly, there was no difference in goal attainment or performance between those who shared their goals with someone they saw as having a lower status and those who didn’t share their goals with anyone at all.
