Abstract
The aim of the current study was to develop a novel goal measure that improves upon existing goal measures. Goals are important psychological constructs, and their measurement has demonstrated diverse utility in both research and clinical work. However, there are various limitations to current goal measures that may significantly impact their utility. The Goal Motivation and Belief Tableau (GMBT) is an idiographic-nomothetic goal assessment that utilizes a set of 28 items to assess seven different goal dimensions for which there is rich empirical support to suggest their importance in self-regulation. The GMBT also assesses pertinent aspects of the entire goal system (e.g., goal-value fit and goal conflict). Although further studies are warranted, the GMBT may represent an improvement upon past goal measures in many respects: the goal construct is clearly defined (and differentiated from other reference values), goals are elicited from various life domains, goal dimensions with strong empirical support are assessed, and dimensions are assessed with multi-item subscales.
