ABSTRACT

Individuals who have a strong locomotion orientation tend to be future-oriented and motivated to move from the present state toward a future state, making swift and steady progress toward their goals. The current study has assessed the conceptual possibility that such motivation leads locomotors to experience greater hopeful thinking, an active cognitive process that consists in planning the future and implementing these plans. The results of Study 1 lend preliminary support to this possibility. The practical implication was linked to the importance of hope in the subjective well-being experienced in everyday life. For this reason, Study 2 tested a model in which hopeful thinking mediated the subjective well-being experienced by locomotors. The results supported the hypothesis: locomotion orientation was associated with enhanced hope capabilities that, in turn, were associated with higher subjective well-being, with significant positive implications for individuals.

摘要

具有强烈运动取向的个体倾向于面向未来，并有动力从当前状态转向未来状态，朝着他们的目标快速而稳定地前进。目前的研究评估了这种动机导致运动者体验更大希望的思维的概念可能性，这是一种积极的认知过程，包括规划未来和实施这些计划。研究 1 的结果为这种可能性提供了初步支持。实际意义与希望在日常生活中主观幸福感中的重要性有关。出于这个原因，研究 2 测试了一个模型，在该模型中，充满希望的思维调节了运动者的主观幸福感。结果支持以下假设：
