| Abstract: | This study investigates the role of emotions in goal achievement within the context of physical activity (PA). Previous research has shown that emotions can serve as indicators of performance in education and sports, but there has been little focus on how emotions impact goal achievement in PA. To address this gap, the study is conducted in two parts. In the first part, a survey was conducted to explore which emotions are most commonly experienced when individuals fail to reach their goals. The results showed that disappointment, frustration, regret, and guilt were the four most commonly reported emotions. Based on these findings, a solution was proposed through iterative ideation for alleviating negative affective states. In the second part of the study, an experimental study was conducted to examine the use of music in representing PA. Music was found to be an effective tool for representing PA and helping individuals cope with the negative emotions associated with goal failure. The findings indicate that emotions play a significant role in goal achievement and music can help alleviate negative emotions when encountering goal failure. |
