Pain, Goal Engagement, and Eudemonic Well-Being: Moderation by Autonomous Motivation.

Author
Abstract
:

Pain may decrease well-being in older adults by limiting social and leisure activities. However, some activities can exacerbate pain. We hypothesized that autonomously motivated goal engagement could ameliorate negative effects of pain on goal engagement and amplify positive effects of goal engagement on eudemonic well-being (EWB).
