Abstract
This paper reviews prior work on the link between psychological preparedness and anticipatory response tendencies. First, the literature suggests that psychological preparedness is associated with a wide range of anticipatory response tendencies while, at the same time, suggesting several key moderators and a motivational component of preparedness. Second, it also suggests that there are several different forms and means of psychological preparedness. In particular, it suggests that different anticipatory response tendencies (e.g., implementation intentions) are the means employed to create different forms of psychological preparedness (e.g., action readiness). Finally, rather than fundamentally different variables, the literature suggests that the different forms and means of preparedness work together across different life (anticipated transitions versus routine life) contexts to optimize the same overall variable of psychological preparedness.
期刊介绍:
New Ideas in Psychology is a journal for theoretical psychology in its broadest sense. We are looking for new and seminal ideas, from within Psychology and from other fields that have something to bring to Psychology. We welcome presentations and criticisms of theory, of background metaphysics, and of fundamental issues of method, both empirical and conceptual. We put special emphasis on the need for informed discussion of psychological theories to be interdisciplinary. Empirical papers are accepted at New Ideas in Psychology, but only as long as they focus on conceptual issues and are theoretically creative. We are also open to comments or debate, interviews, and book reviews.
