This research examined the approach and avoidance goals that people hold when attempting to quit smoking and the behavioral consequences of holding these goals. We predicted that in the domain of smoking cessation, avoidance goals would be beneficial. A community sample of smokers (N = 591) reported their personal goals for quitting smoking prior to participating in an 8-week smoking cessation program. We found that smokers reported a greater percentage of avoidance goals than previously found in educational settings and smokers with a higher proportion of avoidance goals were more likely to quit smoking. The beneficial effect of avoidance goals was largely due to a particular type of avoidance goal, one in which the person is trying to cure a current negative state. This research highlights the value of studying the consequences of avoidance goals in multiple contexts to examine the impact of different types of avoidance goals. |
