metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In descriptions of the determination of human behavior, along with the influences of his past
  experience or the current situation, in modern personality psychology, the constructs of the
  future (life plans, possible I, etc.) begin to occupy an increasing place, among which the goals
  of a person play an important role. Goals are the most important regulator of human activity,
  the implementation of which requires an image of the result to which it is aimed (“the model
  of the necessary future” according to Bernstein). Goals, in contrast to motives and needs related
  to the same phenomenological field, are situational in nature. Lewin’s concept of life space
  emphasizes the inextricable connection of a person with situations and the context of life activity;
  to concretize this connection, Thomas introduces the concept of “defining a situation”,
  Vygotsky — “experiencing”. The notion of purpose must be included in these descriptions:
  “defining the situation” is cognitive, “experiencing” describes the affective component of this
  connection, “goal” refers to the missing “behavioral” (“efficient”) component; in interaction
  with the situation, all these components “work” together, ensuring its understanding, assessment
  of significance and its compliance with the goals of the person. In accordance with the
  concept of the contextual nature of goals, a level differentiation of goal regulation is proposed,
  which appears as tasks to be solved when interacting with specific situations, as goals proper
  in a life context, and as meanings when interacting with existential reality. We put the contextual understanding of goals as the basis of a hypothetical model of goal regulation, which was
  tested in an empirical study. The results obtained showed the connection between a person’s
  goals and the probability of their achievement in the specific conditions of his life situation,
  assessed by him in terms of how much he has already managed to realize the plans and expectations
  of the past, and the significance of goals in specific areas of life is determined by what
  he is ready to do for them, achievements, including changing one’s life situation or changing
  oneself. Thus, the thesis about the contextual nature of goals was confirmed.
