Unveiling the Dynamics of New Year's Resolutions: Insights from a Swedish Research Study

Today, I'll be sharing findings from a paper authored by a team of researchers based in Sweden.

Entitled A Large-Scale Experiment on New Year’s Resolutions: Approach-Oriented Goals are More Successful than Avoidance-Oriented Goals, this paper was published in the reputable peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE in December 2020.

The researchers aimed to explore the nature of New Year's resolutions, individuals' confidence levels in adhering to their goals, and their overall success rates.

They investigated whether framing resolutions as "approach-oriented" or "avoidance-oriented" impacted their achievement rates.

Additionally, they examined whether receiving support in the form of information and exercises for goal-setting influenced resolution success.
