The What and Why of goal pursuit at Next Clarkson University Science Café | St. Lawrence County

POTSDAM — Jim Fryer, SUNY Potsdam professor of psychology, will present The “What” and “Why” of Goal Pursuit at the next Clarkson University Science Café on April 7 at 7:15 p.m.
Our motivated behavior is focused through goals — in any given situation, what do we want to happen? We set goals in school, at work, in our relationships and everywhere else. However, understanding our goals is not just about the intended outcome. How well we do and how we feel about our progress can also be influenced by the reasons behind those goals. These “goal complexes” include what we are trying to do and why we are trying to do it. Professor Jim Fryer (Psychology, SUNY Potsdam) will discuss research on personal goals and the ways multiple aspects of these goals can contribute to our performance and well-being.
