Summary/Abstract: The aim of presented research was verification of hypothesized relationship between emotions evoked by anticipation of goal attainment and indicators of goal engagement. Distinguished were anticipatory, and anticipated emotions as two forms of future oriented emotions. Participants (133 university students, aged 18 – 28 y; 66 M, 67 F) were instructed to consider their goal of „success on exams“, and with this goal in mind answered three questions regarding their engagement in this goal (“Is this your personal goal?”, “How important is for you this goal?”, “How probable is its attainment?”). Following this participants answered questions regarding positive (e.g. “I feel joy”) and negative (e.g. “I feel anger”) anticipatory and anticipated emotions (e.g. “I will feel joy”, “I will feel anger”) in the case of success, and in the case of failure. Analysis of data confirmed significant positive relationship between indicators of goal engagement and dominant emotions evoked by anticipation, as well as dominant anticipated emotions (in the case of success were dominant positive emotions, in the case of failure were dominant negative emotions).
