Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sarah has formed an implementation intention, which is a specific plan that outlines when, where, and how she will complete a goal-oriented behavior. This allows for clear guidelines and increased likelihood of follow-through. Autonomy intention refers to the self-initiated and self-controlled nature of a behavior. Achievement goals and self-determination goals are broader concepts related to motivation and aspiration towards achievement.
