Question

Santana wants to earn her master's degree in psychology. She is only a freshman in high school, but she is working on figuring out the steps that she will need to take to accomplish her goal by starting with graduate school and working down to the college classes she could take, and even the clubs and classes that she should take in high school to prepare her for her career. What process is Santana MOST likely going through to help her visualize her goal?



Question 18 options:

outcome visualization


backward goal setting


process visualization


implementation intentions

Answer 1

Santana is MOST likely going through **backward goal setting**. This method involves starting from a long-term goal (in her case, earning a master's degree) and then identifying the necessary steps to achieve that goal, working backward to smaller, actionable tasks (like high school clubs and classes). This approach helps to create a clear roadmap for achieving her ultimate objective.
