4 strategies by Mann etc. for protecting valued goal striving from disruption
1.Prospection and planning-Identify future obstacles and visualize the future goal. 2. Automating behavior-The more you get exposed to something the more it becomes a habit which can lead to the goal state. 3. Construal-Adopt a different way of approaching a future goal in a present state.(I’m too tired to go to the gym). 4. Effortful inhibition-The process by which people attempt to fight off or suppress thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are contrary to their goals through conscious monitoring and effort. Requires cognitive capacity and resources, and motivational resourcses.
- Mental contrasting, dwelling and indulging
Visualization technique. Goal setting. Imagine a desired future goal state. Reflect on obstacles in the present. Gabriele o. Only effective for those with higher expectancies of success- you have to believe you can do it.
- Implementation intention
If then situations
If situation a occurs I will initiate behavior B to reach goal c.
If I want candy I will eat carrots instead to get fit.
Can only be used if strong goal commitments are in place.
- MCII/WOOP when to use?

Enhancing self-regulation.
Mcii: Mental contrasting Implementation intention. Strong commitments must be in place for implementation intention and mental contrasting creates suck strong commitments.

Beliefs regarding the outcomes that behavioral repertoires will bring about.
Cybernetic model of self-regulation/self-control

- According to (Oettingen & Gollwitzer, 2010), how does the fantasy realization model of self-regulation differ from cybernetic models of self-regulation?
Cybernetic model: Feedback between given state and ideal state is discovered by a comparator and thus leads to attempts to reduce the discovered discrepancy.
Fantasy realization: Specifies strategies that differentially influence whether people will use their fantasies about the desired future to build smart goal commitments.
