Real-Time Processes of Career Goal Construction
The study aimed at investigating how different young people going through the post-high school transition set, monitor, pursue, and renegotiate career goals in real-time and in everyday life circumstances. A theoretically driven proposition supported the conceptualization of career goals as complex dynamic systems and guided the examination and description of the moment-to-moment processes shaping the (re)construction of career goals. The study a…
Putting the Goal Back into Grit
Grit has recently been challenged for its weak predictive power and the incompleteness of its measurement. This study addressed these issues by taking a developmental, person-oriented approach to study academic-related goal commitment and grit and their effects on academic achievement. Using longitudinal data among Finnish eighth and ninth graders ( n = 549, 59.4% female, age = 14–16), the longitudinal changes in grit and academic goal commitment…
Understanding Goal-Directed Action in Emerging Adulthood
This article describes an alternative framework for conceptualizing and researching emerging adulthood based on the notions of goal-directed processes. Specifically, contextual action theory (CAT) is proposed to add value to understanding transition-to-adulthood processes because of its emphasis on description, intentional action, and relational context. A related naturalistic, longitudinal method, the action-project method (A-PM), is used to stu…
Transition to Adulthood as a Peer Project
This study used an action theoretical framework and the action-project method to address the following research question: “How do youth jointly with peers construct, articulate, and act on goals and strategies pertinent to the transition to adulthood?” Fifteen young adult friendship dyads were studied over a 9-month period, using videotaped conversations and telephone monitoring. Peers jointly and intentionally engaged in actions and enacted goal…
