  • A study explored New Year's resolutions and their success rates, finding that approach-oriented goals (like improving health) are more effective than avoidance-oriented ones (like avoiding junk food).
  • Participants were divided into three groups: one with no support, one with some support, and one with extensive support.
  • At a one-year follow-up, 55% of participants felt successful in keeping their resolutions, with the support group showing the highest success rates.

Uuden vuoden lupauksia on tutkittu: jopa puolet lupauksista pitää, ja todennäköisemmin jos lupaus on toiminnallinen (approach) eikä vain asian välttämistä (avoidance). Elokuusta lähtien repsahdustahti kiihtyy - mutta onneksi Uusi Vuosi uusiutuu. https://t.co/pTEa4dt5xx

Randomized study on New Year’s resolutions with n=1066 online participants. Odd that receiving "some support" was superior to the "extended support" condition (which did not differ from "no support") https://t.co/hJpmwefQYK

Starting to plan New Year’s #resolutions? In a longitudinal study, Drs. @PerCarlbring, @profGerhardA et al. found that participants who had set #approach-oriented goals vs avoidance-oriented were most successful in sustaining their resolutions after 1 yr. https://t.co/SPZMQTGb43

Carlbring, a professor who heads Stockholm University's Department of Psychology, knows a thing or two about making a New Year's resolution stick. He and his colleagues recently published a peer-reviewed study (https://t.co/U6WROXi5eo) on the topic.
