https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/precise-goals-motivation-archers Changes to this claim in Matteo Campagna's evidence registry: its status, its year-by-year history, revisions of the page. en-gb https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/precise-goals-motivation-archersNo usable study yet says whether archers who set themselves more precise goals are also more driven. The only one that tries, on twenty-one archers in one Indonesian city, sets two questionnaires side by side: one on how the archer sets goals (specificity, relevance, difficulty, commitment, participation and feedback) and one on achievement motivation. The reported correlation is 0.996, close to a straight line, and two different questionnaires cannot produce that value: with the reliabilities the authors themselves report, 0.903 and 0.892, the ceiling on the observable correlation is about 0.90. Either the two scales measure the same thing, in which case the link is a foregone conclusion, or there is an error in the calculations, in which case the figure says nothing. Either way the study does not answer the question, which remains open.claim:obiettivi-precisi-motivazione:revision:2026-08-04:2Tue, 04 Aug 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/precise-goals-motivation-archersclaim:obiettivi-precisi-motivazione:new_claim:2026-07-02:non_studiatoThu, 02 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT
