RESEARCH: "A Higher Purpose: The Sanctification of Strivings in a Community Sample" (2005, background): “For example, strivings that focus on developing interpersonal relationships seem to have a higher priority in peoples’ lives and to be linked to better psychological functioning than strivings focused on accumulating wealth (Emmons, 1999; Sheldon & Kasser, 2001).”
THE IMPACT OF LIFE COACHING ON GOAL ATTAINMENT, METACOGNITION AND MENTAL HEALTH (2003, unknown): “Making successful purposeful change and reaching one’s goals can have a positive impact on individuals’ mental health (Sheldon & Kasser, 2001).”
Person-Centered Personality Theory: Support from Self-Determination Theory And Positive Psychology (2007, background): “A broader review of the humanistic and positive psychology interface is provided elsewhere (see Sheldon & Kasser, 2001).”

(2007, background): “…age is particularly important because there exists some evidence that older individuals are more likely to be more intrinsically and less extrinsically oriented (e.g. Sheldon & Kasser, 2001) and that age is a positive predictor of job and life satisfaction (Birdi, Warr, & Oswald, 1995; Warr, 1992).”
The Experience of Recovery from Schizophrenia: Towards an Empirically Validated Stage Model (2003, background): “The positive psychology movement emphasizes the pathway to psychological wellbeing through the pursuit of personal goals, with the self-concordance of one’s goals being the key to both goal attainment and psychological wellbeing [89,90].”
