Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract One of the biggest challenges for research on goal pursuit and self‐regulation has been to understand factors that drive one's goals over the long‐term as well as day‐to‐day. Purpose in life, a component of psychological wellbeing has received increased interest in the health sciences for its ability to predict a myriad of health behaviours. The present work integrates the literature on purpose in life with goal organization and pursuit and posits that purpose in life represents a higher‐order cognitive process which reciprocally stimulates goal selection and long‐term goal maintenance and is itself promoted by such goal pursuits. Purpose in life may influence goal selection consciously through a top‐down hierarchy of goal pursuits as well as unconsciously through direction of nonconscious attentional processes. Goal pursuit may reciprocally promote feelings of purpose in life when individuals are able to continually make strides towards goals of personal relevance to their major life aims. This study aims to present a model of purpose in life and goal pursuit that will serve to guide future work in the fields of motivation, positive psychology, and health and lifespan development.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
