When Focusing on a Goal Interferes with Action Control: Action Versus State Orientation and Over-maintenance of Intentions [1]

Abstract

The dataset includes data from the two studies reported in our Over-maintenance of Intentions paper [1]. The data of study 1 was collected at the psychology lab at VU University Amsterdam in 2008 and 2013 among Dutch-speaking student samples. The data of study 2 was collected at the psychology lab at VU University Amsterdam in 2009 and 2013 among Dutch-speaking student samples. The dataset consists of the measures described in the paper. The data can be used for replication purposes, meta-analyses, and exploratory analyses. The authors also welcome collaborative research based on re-analyses of the data.
