Twenty years ago, a group of investigators united their efforts to propose a groundbreaking conceptual paradigm, known as goal systems theory. This innovative approach, rooted in cognitive psychology, provided a comprehensive framework for understanding behavioral phenomena. It ignited a surge of research programs across various domains of psychological science, fostering a deeper understanding of human behavior. This remarkable volume assembles a wealth of insights and discoveries generated by the goal systemic approach over the past two decades.

Led by esteemed researchers from top universities worldwide, this volume employs the major cognitive architectures of goal systems to explore new psychological phenomena and relationships. The applications span a wide range of fundamental topics, including attitude-behavior relations, intrinsic motivation, consumer behavior, violent extremism, addiction, and interpersonal relations. Through these applications, researchers push the boundaries of their respective fields, uncovering novel insights and guiding real-world interventions.

Chapters in this volume present the authors' groundbreaking work in these diverse domains of application, providing concrete illustrations of the theory's reach and practical usefulness. This collective effort showcases the profound impact of the goal systemic approach on our understanding of human behavior and its potential for positive change in various aspects of our lives.
