Summary, Etc.  

요약Belief in "no pain, no gain" (NPNG) holds that enjoyable means are less useful: to pursue one?s goals most effectively, one should generally be picking the most unpleasant, least enjoyable methods. There is some evidence that holding NPNG beliefs may help goal pursuit in certain contexts. However, research on motivation and goal pursuit has found that enjoying the pursuit of a goal yields benefits to both short- and long-term persistence, as well as general well-being. By placing enjoyment and usefulness in a tradeoff relationship, might NPNG inhibit enjoying useful goal pursuit, and thus harm goal outcomes? Chapter 2 established that individuals high in NPNG see healthy (useful) foods as less tasty (enjoyable), and found that this led individuals high in NPNG to forecast a lower likelihood of eating healthy foods. Chapter 3 found that NPNG can harm goals in this way across goal domains, and that the more enjoyment impacts goal behaviors (e.g., the more one tends to eat tastier foods), the more NPNG harms goal outcomes. Chapter 4 demonstrated that NPNG can be manipulated, and found evidence that doing so influences the relationship between usefulness and enjoyment perceptions even in preexisting, individual goals held by participants. Chapter 5 replicated the findings of Chapters 2 and 3 in participants' real, daily eating behaviors.Because NPNG is goal-general, these findings (and the NPNG construct itself) are potentially relevant to any goal domain. NPNG should have substantial applicability for research investigating the role of enjoyment in goal pursuit, especially lines of inquiry seeking to leverage enjoyment to enhance goal pursuit. Future directions for study on NPNG, including potential contexts and mechanisms through which NPNG may benefit goal pursuit, are discussed.
