Our daily life is directed by goals. Furthermore, emerging ample body of evidence indicates that goals can be activated non-consciously (Förster, Liberman, & Friedman, 2007) and influence our behavior (Weingarten et al., 2016). However, not necessarily in all circumstances. Therefore, the main aim of the present review is to critically examine the present state of the art of the goal activation from the broader perspective of the social priming literature and current non-replication crisis. The authors argue that such perspective is for the narrower field of goal activation research potentially fruitful. Thus, besides discussing chosen shortcomings, the attention is mainly focused on the depiction of the issue that can help move goal activation research into the new phase – summarization, systematization and potential integration of the complexness of the process of the activation of mental representations and their automatic usage in goal-directed social behavior. In particular, „selfishness“ of goals (Huang & Bargh, 2014), their role as mediators between stimulus and behavior (Weingarten et al., 2016); further role of important moderators (Weingarten et al., 2016); broader self-concept (Wheeler et al., 2007); dynamically simulated responses (Smith & Mackie, 2016); motivational relevance (Eitam & Higgins, 2010); computation of available social resources (Cesario & Jonas, 2014), as well as the a role of misattribution and the focus of attention in the broader situational inferences (Loersch & Payne, 2011) are discussed and summarized, analyzing their contribution to the issue. Furthermore, potential deeper level integration introduced by Schröder and Thagard (2013) is proposed and critically examined in the present goal related context. Moreover, three other potentially fruitful research perspectives are depicted.

Náš každodenný život je riadený cieľmi. Empirická evidencia navyše naznačuje, že ciele môžu byť aktivované nevedome (Förster, Liberman, Friedman, 2007), ovplyvniac tak naše správanie (Weingarten et al., 2016). Nemusí k tomu ale dôjsť za každých okolností. Hlavným cieľom tejto prehľadovej štúdie je preto kriticky preskúmať súčasný stav poznania problematiky aktivácie cieľov zo širšej perspektívy výskumu sociálneho primingu a jeho aktuálnej krízy, spočívajúcej v nereplikovaní výsledkov klasických štúdii. Autori sú presvedčení, že pre užšiu sféru aktivácie cieľov môže byť takýto prístup prínosný. Okrem prediskutovania vybraných nedostatkov sa text zameria predovšetkým na to, čo môže posunúť výskum aktivácie cieľov do novej etapy. Ide o načrtnutie, systematizáciu a potenciálnu integráciu komplexnosti aktivácie mentálnych reprezentácii, ako aj ich následného automatického využitia v na cieľ orientovanom správaní sociálneho charakteru. Konkrétne, „sebeckosť“ cieľov (Huang, Bargh, 2014), ich úloha ako mediátorov medzi podnetom a správaním (Weingarten et al., 2016), širšia rola dôležitých moderátorov (Weingarten et al., 2016); selfkonceptu jedinca (Wheeler et al., 2007); dynamickosti stimulácie odpovedí (Smith, Mackie, 2016); aktuálnej motivačnej relevancie objektu (Eitam, Higgins, 2010); výpočtu dostupných sociálnych zdrojov (Cesario, Jonas, 2014); ako aj úloha chybného atribuovania zdroja informácie a ohniska pozornosti v rámci širšieho usudzovania v danej situácií (Loersch, Payne, 2011) sú prediskutované a sumarizované, analyzujúc ich prínos k téme. Okrem toho je taktiež načrtnutý a v kontexte aktivácie cieľov kriticky ohodnotený prístup Schrödera a Thagarda (2013), potenciálne integrujúci rozmanité modely na hlbšej úrovni analýzy. Záverom sú načrtnuté aj tri iné potenciálne prínosné výskumné perspektívy.

chological research, various suggestions have been proposed concerning how to improve the current situation. Among them, a prominent place belongs to replication studies. However the authors aiming to critically evaluate conducted replications or to conduct a replication study themselves needs to explicitly reflect two crucial issues. The first regards conditions that need to be met in order to consider the second study as a replication of the first. This concerns the definition of replication and broader categorization of replication types from a methodological point of view, reflecting various conceptual and terminological issues. The second regards conditions that need to be met in order to say that the results of the replication study replicated/did not replicate the original study. This involves the way in which the study is statistically analysed with respect to its main goal. Therefore, the aim of the present article is to discuss and to summarize the present state of the literature regarding these two issues and to synthesize it into two functional classifications: A, various types of replications from a methodological point of view; B, various possibilities of data analysis from a statistical point of view. It is argued that instead of non-critically preferring one specific approach, the researcher should reflect the pros and cons of various approaches and the broader context of the goal of the replication study.

V rámci prebiehajúcej renesancie psychologického výskumu boli navrhnuté viaceré postupy, majúce potenciál zlepšiť súčasnú situáciu. Medzi nimi zastávajú prominentné postavenie tzv. replikačné štúdie. Autori, ktorý by chceli k realizovaným replikačným štúdiám zaujať kritické stanovisko, alebo replikačnú štúdiu realizovať, potrebujú reflektovať dve dôležité otázky. Prvá sa týka toho, aké podmienky musia byť splnené na to, aby mohla byť štúdia číslo 2 považovaná za replikáciu štúdie číslo 1. To sa úzko dotýka definície toho, čo možno pod replikačnou štúdiou rozumieť, a toho, ako možno replikačné štúdie kategorizovať z metodologického hľadiska, reflektujúc rôzne koncepčné a terminologické otázky. Druhá sa týka toho, aké podmienky je potrebné splniť na to, aby bolo možné tvrdiť, že výsledky replikačnej štúdie predstavujú „úspešnú/ neúspešnú“ replikáciu. To sa úzko dotýka toho, aký štatistický postup analýzy dát je využitý, a toho, aký je hlavný cieľ danej replikačnej snahy. Cieľom tohto príspevku je preto sumarizovať súčasný stav poznania pojednávajúci o týchto dvoch kľúčových aspektoch a následne ho syntetizovať do dvoch funkčných klasifikácií: A) rôznych druhov replikácií z metodologického hľadiska; B) rôznych druhov prístupov k analýze dát zo štatistického hľadiska. Autori argumentujú, že namiesto výlučnej preferencie toho-ktorého prístupu je potrebné reflektovať silné a slabé stránky viacerých prístupov a explicitne zvažovať širší kontext cieľa danej replikácie.

Objectives. Although various mental health-re-lated consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have been documented, there has been far less attention given to potential protective factors. Questions and hypotheses. In the present study, authors examined the role of three types of positive expectancies - optimism, hope, and self-efficacy - as predictors of well-being and anxiety. Furthermore, authors examined the role of coping strategies as a potential mediator between expectancies and criterion variables.Sample and settings. The present study was con-ducted during the COVID-19 outbreak in Slo-vakia after a national emergency was declared (N=1011). Additionally, longitudinal follow up was conducted after a national lockdown (N=391). Statistical analysis. Multi-model linear regres-sion (the Bayesian approach) and simple me-diation analysis (the Frequentist approach) were used to answer research questions. Results. In the main study with N=1011 partici-pants sampled after a national emergency was declared, the role of optimism in predicting anx-iety and well-being was corroborated. Moreo-ver, this finding was replicated after a national lockdown and the degree to which Coronavirus was considered dangerous served as a potential mediator. Besides optimism, self-efficacy nega-tively predicted anxiety, and subscales of hope predicted well-being. Additionally, the role of coping strategies as potential mediator was ex-amined. In follow up with N=391 respondents who decided to participate after the national lockdown, authors found an indirect effect of optimism on well-being and anxiety through dysfunctional coping. Limitations. The present study has some limita-tions that should be reflected upon. For exam-ple, convenience sampling was used. Moreover, interpretations related to causality should be avoided and the specificity of the effect in re-lation to pandemic situation should be further examined in future research.

Objectives. The aim of the study was to perform in-depth qualitative research of setting and pursuing goals, as well as overcoming obstacles in young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sample and setting. The sample comprised 30 people, ages 19-29 years (19 men), the average age was 24.37 (SD = 3.05). Statistical analysis. Phenomenological qualitative analysis was performed. Results. Qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed some already known key (main) topics of achieving the goals in young adults, however, it also revealed additional significant topics. The analysis indicated that prioritizing short-term goals can be a functional response to the decreased ability to achieve a long-term goal, but also that short-term goals are preferred because they strengthen self: self-efficacy, self-realisation, and provide satisfaction from the goal attainment. The analysis also revealed the importance of the phenomenon of goal interconnection, where a young adult’s planning does not have to be focused on meeting a goal at a certain time or age (clock-time style); on the contrary, a young adult may focus on events (event-time style). By achieving one goal, a person can shift to achieving another, interconnected goal. However, in young adults achieving the goal is not always associated with a feeling of satisfaction. Results also suggested that sharp changes in goals (goals instability) could potentially be also a strategy of further goal calibration, a strategy of finding goals that are meaningful and fulfilling. An important contribution of the research is studying the goals and planning of young adults during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Slovakia. The results propose that the pandemic has the potential to affect all phases of the Mindset theory of Action Phases. Limitations. The qualitative character of the study does not enable the results to be quantified.
