Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In our project, we developed and tested a motivational model of CWB. We found evidence for the central motivational mechanisms. CWB was consistently and robustly associated with motivational outcomes such that higher CWB was associated with a decreased desire for change and a lower probability to experience actual changes, and lower CWB was associated with an increased desire for change and with a higher probability to experience actual changes. We further showed that CWB should not be conceptualized as either domain satisfaction or life satisfaction, as it was done in previous work, but that both components of CWB should be examined simultaneously to disentangle their unique effects. Our results also showed that the tested mechanisms were independent of AWB. Contrary to what we expected based on motivational life-span theories, perceived control did not significantly moderate the tested pathways. Taken together, the project generated important insights into the motivational consequences of CWB and indicates that CWB should be integrated into theories of life goals and life decisions. From a methodological point of view, we used a multimethod approach using different types of designs, different types of measures and different types of data sources. Based on the experiences in this project, we recommend using longitudinal designs rather than experimental designs to study the regulation of life satisfaction in future research.
