  1. 1. The process of goal-setting included specification of what level of behavioural change would constitute 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% goal attainment. At follow-up, alongside participants’ ratings of performance and satisfaction, the extent of goal attainment was rated for each goal.
  2. 2. ~ SPSS v. 20 does not provide values for H but simply reports on whether or not the null hypothesis should be retained, with p values.
