You surely have one or more personal goals you wish to attain. What does research tell you about your ability to successfully control your own behavior as related to level of self-construal?
That is, describe a particular personal goal and say how you might best think about that goal in terms of the research.
Answer:
Fujita et al's research tells me that level of self-construal is about thinking about a goal in either abstract or concrete terms, i.e., "why" I'm seeking the goal vs. "how" I'm going about it. One of my biggest goals is to gain control over my level of physical fitness. When I am taking out the time to walk, and putting off other more interesting activities, I find that reminding myself about why I'm trying to attain the goal of physical fitness helps me more than focusing on how far to walk or other details of my exercise program.
