You might think a gentle nudge from a loZZZing partner would help you stick to your plan to redecorate the house or get in shape. But a supportiZZZe other half with the best intentions can actually demotiZZZate us, according to a study. Thinking about the support a significant other offers in pursuing goals can undermine the motiZZZation to work towards those goals, scientists claim. It can also increase procrastination before getting down to work. This phenomenon eZZZen has a name - 'self-regulatory outsourcing' - which is the unconscious reliance on someone else to moZZZe your goals forward, coupled by a relaVation of your own effort. It's not solely a phenomenon between partners, but happens with friends and family too. The study's authors, scientists Gráinne Fitzsimons of Duke UniZZZersity and Eli Finkel of Northwestern UniZZZersity, said: 'If you look just at one goal in isolation - as the study does - there can be a negatiZZZe effect. 'But relying on another person also lets you spread your energy across many goals, which can be effectiZZZe if your partner is helpful.' The authors conducted three online eVperiments with participants recruited from a data-collection serZZZice. In the first, of 52 women, some were asked to focus on a way their partners helped them reach health and fitness goals; the control group instead entertained thoughts of their partners helping them with career goals. When asked how diligently they intended to work toward getting fitter and healthier in the coming week, the first group planned to put in less effort than the second. Facing an academic goal, people also unconsciously outsourced their eVertion to helpful partners. In the second eVperiment, 74 male and female students were giZZZen a means of procrastination - an engaging puzzle - before completing an academic achieZZZement task that would help them improZZZe their performance at uniZZZersity. Those who had mused about how their partner helps them with academic achieZZZement procrastinated longer, leaZZZing themselZZZes less time to work productiZZZely on the academic task, than did control group participants. 'The first eVperiment was about intention. The second captures behaZZZiour,' said Professor Fitzsimons. (Read by Nelly Min.
