The process of creating, pursuing, and achieving goals in the form of self-regulation is an essential part of an individual's life, as it helps them to create and subsequently implement their life plan. However, even with individually set goals, one does not always achieve them, and some goals can turn out to be unattainable. Personal goals can therefore be a source of stress, especially if the person encounters serious obstacles or experiences major setbacks. The main goal of the current research was to clarify the relationship between experiencing action crisis and the type of obstacle (subjective/ objective), to explain the connection between action crisis and selected obstacle characteristics as perceived frequency and intensity. An additional goal was to categorize obstacles according to content, based on the criterion of subjectivity and objectivity. The study was conducted on a sample of 542 young adults aged from 18 to 34 years (Mage = 22.2; SD = 1.96). The sample consisted of 73.25 % females (N = 379) and of 26.75% males (N = 145). Convenience and purposive sampling methods have been used. Content analysis of obstacles based on the criterion of subjectivity and objectivity was conducted. We perceive the benefit of the study to be in the enrichment of the existing classifications of obstacles by adding two more categories (physical / mental state and personality). It is also a beneficial finding that objective and subjective obstacles contribute to the experiencing of the action crisis to approximately the same extent, but with a more detailed look at specific types of obstacles, it is possible to notice differences. The results suggest that it is not the type of obstacle that is crucial, but rather the perceived intensity and frequency of the obstacle. These results support not only the importance of self-reflection, persistence training, self-control, but also mental resilience.

Past research has identified a number of stable characteristics affecting goal achievement. However, the role of inter-individual differences in the ways in which an individual reacts to (A) new information and (B) ambiguous situations during the pursuit of personal goals has been overlooked. In the present study (N = 245), we focused on the role of experiential and rational information processing styles (REI-40) and intolerance of uncertainty (IUS-12) in goal progress and crisis that can occur during goal-striving due to the accumulation of setbacks, known as an action crisis. It was found that intolerance of uncertainty predicted an action crisis. Furthermore, rational ability predicted goal progress indirectly, via a subjective assessment of goal attainability. Autonomous motivation did not play a mediating role in the present study, though. These findings extend previous results, which have focused on the role of individual differences in action crisis and highlight the role of intolerance of uncertainty as a potential risk factor for the development of action crisis.
