Respondents are presented with 24
goals pertaining to six major life domains: intimacy, affiliation,
altruism, power, achievement, and diversion. For each goal, three
attributes are rated: importance, attainability, and degree of success
at attainment. Each of these goals’ attributes is rated on a
5-point scale ranging from 1 (not important) to 5 (very important).
In this study, only the attribute of importance (which goals are
desirable and valuable for the person and indicate the strength of
his/her commitment to a goal) for the life goals of intimacy
(a = 0.743), affiliation (a = 0.805), power (a = 0.760), diversion
(a = 0.818) and achievement (a = 0.757) was evaluated.
