Abstract

This study was performed to examine how intrinsic acceptance for happenstance(IAH) affects evaluation of the means to achieve additional goals when the additional goals are happened to be added to the original means-goal link. Specifically, participants were asked to evaluate the effectiveness of means(e.g., exercise and saving) to achieve additional goals which are either more or less relevant to the means. The result showed that participants with high IAH were more likely to think that the original means is effective to accomplish additional goals than those with low IAH. This pattern, however, was found only when the additional goals are relevant to the means. When the relevance of the additional goals to the means was low, there was no difference in evaluation of the effectiveness of the means to achieve additional goals between participants with high and low IAH. Future research and implications of this study for goal-systems theory and intrinsic acceptance for happenstance were discussed.

본 연구는 특정 수단으로 목표를 달성하는 과정에서 예기치 못한 추가적인 목표가 탐색되었을 때, 추가 목표에 대한 수단의 효과성 평가가 개인의 내재적인 우연수용성 수준에 의해 영향을 받는지를 검증하기 위해 수행되었다. 구체적으로, 본 연구는 우연수용성이 높거나 낮은 참가자들에게 특정 수단(운동과 저축)과 관련성이 높거나 낮은 추가적인 목표를 성취하는데 있어서 수단이 얼마나 효과적인지 평가하도록 하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 우연수용성이 높은 사람들은 우연수용성이 낮은 사람들보다 원래의 목표외에 추가적인 목표들에 대해서도 현재의 수단이 더 효과가 있을것이라 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 그러나 이러한 결과는 추가적인 목표가 원래의 수단-목표 연결과 관련성이 높을 때에만 발견되었다. 즉, 추가적인 목표가 원래의 수단-목표 연결과 관련성이 낮은 경우에는 우연수용성이 높거나 낮은 사람들 간의 추가적인 목표에 대한 수단의 효과성 평가에서 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 목표 체계 이론(goal systems theory)과 우연수용성 개념을 중심으로 연구의 시사점과 추후 연구에 대한 논의가 이루어졌다.
