Are you struggling to motivate yourself or others to reach goals?
The G ... Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Potius inflammat, ut coercendi magis quam dedocendi esse videantur. Quos quidem tibi studiose et diligenter tractandos magnopere censeo. Tu vero, inquam, ducas licet, si sequetur; Quae adhuc, Cato, a te dicta sunt, eadem, inquam, dicere posses, si sequerere Pyrrhonem aut Aristonem. Animum autem reliquis rebus ita perfecit, ut corpus; Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Itaque contra est, ac dicitis; Non minor, inquit, voluptas percipitur ex vilissimis rebus quam ex pretiosissimis. Eam si varietatem diceres, intellegerem, ut etiam non dicente te intellego; Nescio quo modo praetervolavit oratio. Si ista mala sunt, in quae potest incidere sapiens, sapientem esse non esse ad beate vivendum satis. Hanc ergo intuens debet institutum illud quasi signum absolvere. Sed vobis voluptatum perceptarum recordatio vitam beatam facit, et quidem corpore perceptarum. Quod autem satis est, eo quicquid accessit, nimium est; Itaque hic ipse iam pridem est reiectus; Ex rebus enim timiditas, non ex vocabulis nascitur. Similiter sensus, cum accessit ad naturam, tuetur illam quidem, sed etiam se tuetur; Iam contemni non poteris. Consequentia exquirere, quoad sit id, quod volumus, effectum. Expressa vero in iis aetatibus, quae iam confirmatae sunt. Honesta oratio, Socratica, Platonis etiam. Eiuro, inquit adridens, iniquum, hac quidem de re;

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Primum in nostrane potestate est, quid meminerimus? Atque ab his initiis profecti omnium virtutum et originem et progressionem persecuti sunt. Quod cum accidisset ut alter alterum necopinato videremus, surrexit statim. Esse enim quam vellet iniquus iustus poterat inpune. Bonum integritas corporis: misera debilitas. Duo Reges: constructio interrete. Quid turpius quam sapientis vitam ex insipientium sermone pendere?
Sunt enim prima elementa naturae, quibus auctis vírtutis quasi germen efficitur. Ex rebus enim timiditas, non ex vocabulis nascitur. Si enim ad populum me vocas, eum. Atque ab his initiis profecti omnium virtutum et originem et progressionem persecuti sunt. Quippe: habes enim a rhetoribus; Et hunc idem dico, inquieta sed ad virtutes et ad vitia nihil interesse. Sed ad haec, nisi molestum est, habeo quae velim. Sin laboramus, quis est, qui alienae modum statuat industriae? Et quidem saepe quaerimus verbum Latinum par Graeco et quod idem valeat; Sed ille, ut dixi, vitiose.
Quod non faceret, si in voluptate summum bonum poneret. Septem autem illi non suo, sed populorum suffragio omnium nominati sunt. Sed tamen est aliquid, quod nobis non liceat, liceat illis. Sin kakan malitiam dixisses, ad aliud nos unum certum vitium consuetudo Latina traduceret. Hic ambiguo ludimur. Est enim tanti philosophi tamque nobilis audacter sua decreta defendere. Ne amores quidem sanctos a sapiente alienos esse arbitrantur. Consequens enim est et post oritur, ut dixi. Quod est, ut dixi, habere ea, quae secundum naturam sint, vel omnia vel plurima et maxima. Egone non intellego, quid sit don Graece, Latine voluptas?
A variation on the Goal Gradient Effect was posed by marketing academic and researcher Andrea Bonezzi, who argued that “motivation to engage in goal-consistent behavior can be higher when people are either far from or close to the end state and lower when they are about halfway to the end state.” Thus rather than focusing on the end aspect of the journey, Bonezzi describes a ‘U-shaped’ model of motivation, with the problematic middle between starting point and end goal.
Contributing to charities.
This study entitled Goal Gradient in Helping Behavior, found that “People are more likely to pitch in as charitable campaigns approach their goals. Such “goal gradient helping” occurs in part because late-stage efforts provide donors with a heightened sense of personal impact, an influential source of satisfaction from prosocial acts.”
Car wash loyalty.
This 2006 study, similar to the cited coffee loyalty card example in the summary above, used loyalty cards for a car wash. In this case, one card had 8 spots to fill for a free car wash, the other had 10 with two already stamped. The group given the perceived head start resulted in a 34% engagement rate in the loyalty program compared to 19% for the others.

The Goal Gradient Effect was first identified by Clark Hull during the 1930s in relation to animals, particularly his study of rats accelerating their pace closer to the end of a maze and a food reward. Hull, an engineer by background, went on to break down his observations and interpret them as a mathematical formula which he outlined in his book Principles of Behaviour.
The effect was expanded to humans in a 2006 study by Ran Kivetz et al. The authors of that study explained: “The key findings indicate that (1) participants in a real café reward program purchase coffee more frequently the closer they are to earning a free coffee; (2) Internet users who rate songs in return for reward certificates visit the rating Web site more often, rate more songs per visit, and persist longer in the rating effort as they approach the reward goal; (3) the illusion of progress toward the goal induces purchase acceleration (e.g., customers who receive a 12-stamp coffee card with 2 preexisting “bonus” stamps complete the 10 required purchases faster than customers who receive a “regular” 10-stamp card); and (4) a stronger tendency to accelerate toward the goal predicts greater retention and faster reengagement in the program.”
