“…Four items measure the tendency to disengage from unattainable goals and six items measure the tendency to reengage with new goals. The Spanish version has adequate criteria validity, internal consistency, and stability, and its factor structure is in line with the original structure [41]. In this study, the goal disengagement and the goal reengagement scales had a Cronbach’s α of 0.70 and 0.94, respectively.…”

“…The tenacious goal pursuit and flexible goal adjustment scales [3] assess two distinct modes of coping with goal disruption, respectively: tenacious goal pursuit and flexible goal adjustment. Respondents rate the degree to which they agree with each statement on a five-point Likert scale ranging from “fully disagree” to “fully agree.” The Spanish version of the scales show good levels of reliability and adequate criteria validity as demonstrated by correlations with measures of positive and negative affect and well-being [41]. In this study, the tenacious goal pursuit and the flexible goal adjustment scales had a Cronbach’s α of 0.80 and 0.81, respectively.…”

“…Four items measure an individual's tendency to disengage from unattainable goals (e.g., “It's easy for me to reduce my effort toward the goal,” or “I stay committed to the goal for a long time; I can't let it go”) and six items measure an individual's tendency to reengage with new goals (e.g., “I seek other meaningful goals,” or “I start working on other new goals”). The Spanish version of the instrument has adequate criterion validity, internal consistency, and stability, and its factor structure is similar to the original structure [ 45 ]. In this study, the Goal Disengagement and the Goal Reengagement Scales had Cronbach's alpha of 0.70 and 0.94, respectively.…”

Objective Activity patterns are the product of pain and of the self-regulation of current goals in the context of pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between goal management strategies and activity patterns while taking into account the role of optimism/pessimism and positive/negative affect. Methods Two hundred and thirty-seven patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain filled out questionnaires on optimism, positive and negative affect, pain intensity, and the activity patterns they employed in dealing with their pain. Questionnaires were also administered to assess their general goal management strategies: goal persistence, flexible goal adjustment, and disengagement and reengagement with goals. Results Structural equation modelling showed that higher levels of optimism were related to persistence, flexible goal management, and commitment to new goals. These strategies were associated with higher positive affect, persistence in finishing tasks despite pain, and infrequent avoidance behaviour in the presence or anticipation of pain. Conclusions The strategies used by the patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain to manage their life goals are related to their activity patterns.

“…Both strategies are usually measured by a dispositional tool of goal adjustment capacity called the Goal Adjustment Scale (GAS, Wrosch et al, 2003a). The GAS has been widely used among the general (Soubrier, Esteve, & Ramírez-Maestre, 2017) as well as specific population (e.g., cancer patients; Schroevers, Kraaij, & Garnefski, 2011;Wrosch & Sabiston, 2013). In our research, we decided to address young people (adolescents and young adults with an average age of 20), because according to the theory (Wrosch, Scheier, & Miller, 2013) both late adolescence and transition to adulthood are important stages in the development of goal setting and goal adjustment capacity.…”

The aim of this study was to pilot test the psychometric properties of the Slovak version of the Goal Adjustment Scale (GAS) in a student sample. The research sample consisted of 636 students (355 secondary school pupils and 281 university students). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the 2-factor structure (as correlating factors) in the Slovak version of the scale. The internal consistency estimates of two factors (goal disengagement and reengagement) were relatively satisfactory. Regarding the convergent validity, the negative correlations between goal disengagement and dispositional optimism (LOT-R), hope (Snyder's Hope Scale) and self-regulation (SRQ) have been found. Moreover, significant positive correlations were only found in the case of goal reengagement and pathway as a factor of dispositional hope. However, the study did not support the relationship between adjustment capacities and subjective well-being measured through the frequency of positive and negative emotions (SEHP). One of the limitations of the research was that the test-retest reliability was not tested. It is considered important to perform further validation of the GAS in the future as the current results are preliminary. Nevertheless, the GAS seems to be an efficient tool in detecting adjustment strategies in the case of obstacles in the goal achieving process.
