Recent research in the united states suggests that individuals who strongly value extrinsic goals (e. g. fame, wealth, image) relative to intrinsic goals (e. g. personal growth, relatedness, community) experience less well - being. This study examines such goals in university samples from two cultures - the united states and russia. Participants (N = 299) rated the importance, expectancies, and current attainment of 15 life goals, including 4 target intrinsic and 4 target extrinsic goals. Results confirmed the relevance of the intrinsic-extrinsic distinction for both samples and that stronger importance and expectancies regarding extrinsic goals were negatively related to well - being, although these effects were weaker for Russian women. Furthermore, for both men and women, perceived attainment of intrinsic goals was associated with greater well - being, whereas this was not the case for perceived attainment of extrinsic goals.
