@_saintcola Unfortunately there's no sexy name for the phenomenon itself, but it has been investigated at least once. https://t.co/VodSmRFMkE tl;dr: "Other people’s taking notice of one’s intentions apparently engenders a premature sense of completeness regarding the goal."

this might not be merely superstition but could have Psychological basis for example one study "When intentions go public: Does social reality widen the intention-behavior gap?" suggests that telling people you want to do something gives premature feelings of accomplishment https://t.co/CnqwPwyTM4

@KevinSzabo14 Peter Gollwitzer’s Research on Goal Setting (2009) agrees with you. I tend to keep new projects to myself for this reason. The results should earn praise, not simply having the goal. https://t.co/3eqgA9SVMt

I remember this from the days of the ceramic astronaut: If someone said they'd love to buy something it was practically a guarantee that that person would not buy it, or anything. See pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19389130/ (stating an intention often drives down the likelihood of fulfilling it).

Prompt: I'm independently developing an iOS app. I post about my work on social media. Based on the 2009 Psychological Science paper "When intentions go public: does social reality widen the intention-behavior gap?", what specific actions should I take to increase rather than decrease my motivation?

@RayDalio Wonder what you think of the published paper by Gollwizzer, Peter M. "When intentions go public: Does social reality widen the intention-behavior gap?" It suggests that making intentions public can lead to a decrease in motivation to work towards the goals.

DON’T share your new year resolutions. A 2009 study shows those who share new year resolutions to others are more likely to fail. Sharing resolutions gives dopamine releases similar to that from finishing tasks, leaving folks satisfied and on the couch. https://t.co/lBtUonIzPp

@thetrungdao Sharing goals can be a double-edged sword. While it brings accountability, research shows it can also give a false sense of completion, reducing motivation.

The big upside of telling others about things you are working on/ plan to do is: social accountablity as a tool to increase goal adherence. The big downside: telling others seems to act as a "prereward" making success less likely. https://t.co/4pPup7Qj0a https://t.co/ZX30OZ4OAp

I'd rather keep projects or goals to myself until they're ready to be announced. Peter Gollwitzer and some other researchers at NYU released a paper in 2009, “When Intentions Go Public: Does Social Reality Widen the Intention-Behavior Gap?" The results were pretty astounding.

As it turns out, announcing your intentions to the people around you does not increase motivation or accountability, rather it backfires and provides a false sense of accomplishment, in return hindering actual effort Read more about Gollwitzer’s study at: https://t.co/8T1VARwhHW https://t.co/EIcLjNX6o9
