24 English Summary Kurt Lewin (1936) famously asserted that behavior is a function of both the person and the environment. To fully explore psychological processes, both the environment and the person should be integrated into research questions. This work served as one specific way to integrate personality and environment through the investigation of the relations between personality and context-specific goal pursuit. Whole Trait Theory (Fleeson, 2012) is one possible theoretical approach by which integration of person and situations may occur, and the Specific States and Functions Hypothesis (SSFH) hypothesizes specific ways in which goals can predict and change behavior. The research presented in this work explored how traits and motives were related through the investigation of momentary goals in relation to both the f holistic Big Five model and the specific personality trait of perfectionism. This work also explored processes by which personality may function through the adoption of goals, from social and hedonistic goals (Chapter 2) and achievement goal pursuit (Chapter 3 and Chapter 5). The core principle the relations between personality and context-specific goals was the main thread present throughout this work, and these relations appear to be common across constructs, domains, culture, and language. Personality and goals should be considered important interrelated constructs in accordance with SSFH. The studies in Chapter 2 provided a direct extension of work conducted by McCabe and Fleeson (2012). In that study, McCabe and Fleeson (2012) provided the first test of the SSFH, using the trait of extraversion and an experience-sampling study. They generated three goals for each of six extraversion subcomponents and tested whether variation in momentary extraversion states was predictable from variation in goals. They found that 74% of the variation in extraversion states, both between- and within-person, was explained by the goals people were pursuing at the moment. Chapter 2 extended this work by combining evidence from three different studies an experience-sampling study, an experiment, and an observer-report study and testing two different personality traits extraversion and conscientiousness.

25 In Study 1, I found that eight hypothesized goals predicted half the variance in state extraversion and eight new hypothesized goals predicted half the variance in state conscientiousness. Moreover, personality states had distinct relations with goals with little to no overlap, which suggested that the reason why state extraversion and state conscientiousness differ is due to the distinct types of goal pursuit. In Study 2, I found that the effect of goal pursuit on personality states was causal. Prior work only suggested that traits predict changes in goals, but this experiment provided evidence that goals could cause changes to personality states in a specific moment. Lastly, the results of Study 3 showed that relations between goals and personality states were present even by observer reports, showing that our findings are not merely an artifact of self-report. Taken as a whole, these studies showed that traits are intricately related to motivation. Extraversion was related to accomplishing the goals of trying to become the center of attention, trying to fit in, and trying to have fun, among other goals; conscientiousness provided the means for trying to direct one s energy where it was needed most, trying to use time effectively, and for trying to get things done, among other goals. Goals predicted different personality states such that goals predicted only their corresponding traits and had little or no relation to non-corresponding traits. Chapter 3 provided an initial test of the relations between Big Five traits and achievement goals. The key findings from our studies are that there are three consistent sets of relations between personality traits and achievement goals. Interestingly, it is not merely one s level of conscientiousness that predicts all achievement goals rather different traits are relevant for different types of goals. Across two different samples (a U.S. college student sample and a Dutch working adult sample) in terms of culture, language, age, and context, we found generally consistent relations between personality traits and achievement goals, and the patterns of these relations are unique for each achievement goal. The trait-goal relations indicated that mastery-approach goals are clearly positive and performance-avoidance goals are clearly negative, while both performance-approach and mastery-avoidance goals showed a Dutch Summary 166

26 hybrid of positive and negative qualities in their trait-goal relations. Moreover, facet-goal relations in Study 2 showed the specific aspects relevant to the broad trait-goal relations, either in a few specific facets or several facets across the whole trait. Taken together, these findings suggest complexity in the relations between holistic personality traits and context-specific achievement goals, which may serve to explain differences in achievement goal processes and outcomes. Chapter 4 introduced the concept of state perfectionism, and outlined the rationale for its measurement. Rather than having separate trait perfectionism scales for each domain (e.g., work, school, and sport), the State Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale adapted existing trait perfectionism items to be monetary and general in language to apply across domains. A prepositional phrase at the end of these items can specify certain times (e.g., in the last 30 minutes ) or a certain context (e.g., on the exam ). Across a series of five studies, the results showed that the SMPS is a reliable measure with structural and conceptual validity. The measurement of state perfectionism in specific contexts allows researchers to investigate perfectionism processes previously unexplored. Chapter 5 tested different paths to successful performance through achievement goal pursuit. The results from these studies provide compelling and complex processes in which people strive for success. First, the results provided support for our model, which shows that state perfectionism is an important mediator of the relations between achievement goals and achievement outcomes. While research on trait perfectionism and achievement goals has increased steadily over the past decade, this focus limits the potential variability of perfectionism in specific contexts. The inclusion of state perfectionism in an achievement goal process adds unique elements to the literature. First, state perfectionism implies that anyone regardless of their dispositional trait level of perfectionism can be perfectionistic in certain contexts. Moreover, these momentary levels of perfectionism are related to performance and affect. Study 2 provided support that when high personal standards is induced, it can cause changes in performance.

27 The theoretical framework presented in this work served to bridge two concepts that have been theoretically separate for decades traits and motives. Since the days of Allport and Murray, a debate has persisted whether traits or motives are central to one s personality and subsequent behavior. The Specific States and Functions Hypothesis (McCabe & Fleeson, 2012; Chapter 2) covered in this work proposed that personality states are the means by which people try to achieve their goal pursuit. As such, personality and context-specific goals are interconnected in a specific process. The work presented here provides strong support for goalstate relations, and it opens the door to explore the complex behavioral processes that integrate both personality and contextual goal pursuit.
