Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis examined how people's abilities to disengage from or reengage with goals relate to their overall quality of life, including wellbeing and health, by analyzing data from 421 individuals across 31 studies.
  • It found that being able to disengage from unattainable goals is linked to better quality of life and fewer depressive symptoms, especially in older adults and those not at risk for depression, while reengaging with new goals also contributes positively to wellbeing.
  • The results support theories that highlight the importance of flexible goal adjustment for mental health and overall wellbeing, and they emphasize that these capacities have different benefits depending on individual circumstances.
