Abstract:
To examine the effect of goal-setting on reaction time 40 physical education students were tested on a reaction-time test and were randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions: personal goals, difficult assigned goals, easy assigned goals, and no goals. Analysis showed that goal-setting enhanced performance, and participants in the difficult assigned goals condition showed the biggest improvement.
