Goal attainment is a complex process shaped by numerous decisions individuals make on their way to successfully reaching the desired objective. While there is no doubt about the impact decision-making and goal-attainment have on each other, a unified approach exploring how these processes work together is lacking. Nonetheless, the existing literature has suggested various possible ways of connecting them, such as through self-regulation. Self-regulation plays a pivotal role in individual´s efforts in reaching a goal, especially in the case of distractions and obstacles which threaten the success of this process. The literature is not short of various approaches to different self-regulatory strategies, making it harder to integrate them in a way that would be helpful to the research in other areas. Some authors (Higgins et al., 2020) have pointed out a possible connection between the regulatory focus and a certain type of thinking that can be characteristic for specific decision-making styles. The existing literature provides the basis for connecting decision-making and goal-attainment in a way that might be beneficial for further research. The goal of this paper was to explore the importance of focusing on self-regulation and specific self-regulatory strategies as a link between these processes, and to outline the possible applications in psychological research and practice.
