Abstract

about their goals is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition to make statements about their goals; and II) to identify what individuals say about their goals with their goals eliminate important distinctions made in ordinary language, and lead to a number of logical absurdities. It is concluded that the level of aspiration procedure can be used to investigate the relations between what individuals do and what they say about what they do, in a context in which what they do can be described according to some criteria of goodness.
