AI Article Synopsis

  • Huang & Bargh emphasize the importance of goals in understanding how our minds function and develop.
  • They argue that personality integration is about aligning our inner motivations with a structured sense of self over time.
  • This process is essential for human development and should be considered in any thorough theory of goals.

Article Abstract

By situating goals at the heart of human cognitive function, Huang & Bargh (H&B) provide a useful platform for understanding the process of personality integration as the gradual mapping of implicit motives into a coherently organized self-system. This integrative process is a critical feature of human development that must be accounted for by any complete goal theory.
