An experimental design across a one-week period was employed to test whether participants in the experimental group, who received the SMART goal instructions, better obtained their goal in comparison to control group participants who did not receive those specific More >

Using the structural equation modeling and moderated mediating mechanism analysis, the results show that: (1) the satisfaction of social and More >
