When You Have to Climb Downhill to Reach the Top: The Effect of Action Versus State Orientation on Solving a Goal-Subgoal Conflict in the Tower of Hanoi Task
Complex problems often include a response conflict between a subgoal and a final goal. The present experiment investigated the roles of situational demands and individual differences in self-regulation on solving goal-subgoal conflicts in a computerized Tower of Hanoi task. Action-oriented versus st...

| description | Complex problems often include a response conflict between a subgoal and a final
goal. The present experiment investigated the roles of situational demands and
individual differences in self-regulation on solving goal-subgoal conflicts in a
computerized Tower of Hanoi task. Action-oriented versus state-oriented
individuals were randomly assigned to a demanding condition in which they
deliberated about a personal decision problem, or to a nondemanding control
condition. In line with expectations state-oriented individuals had greater
difficulties to solve goal-subgoal conflicts in the demanding compared to the
nondemanding condition. Action-oriented individuals performed well in both
conditions. In line with Personality Systems Interactions theory
(Kuhl, 2000)
the findings show that complex problem solving depends on how well people are
able to deal with situational demands. |
