Question

Who have a goal-directed orientation toward life?

The correct answer is
Telic-dominant individuals

Goal-Directed Life Orientation

The question asks to identify individuals with a specific focus on achieving future objectives.

  • Telic individuals are characterized by a strong orientation towards goals. They are motivated by achieving specific future outcomes and value the end result of their actions.
  • Paratelic individuals, conversely, are focused on the present moment and the activity itself, rather than a future goal. Enjoyment is derived from the process.
  • Apathetic individuals typically lack motivation and engagement.
  • Fun-loving individuals prioritize enjoyment and pleasure, which may or may not align with long-term goals.

Based on these definitions, telic-dominant individuals are the ones who exhibit a goal-directed orientation toward life.
