Susie set a goal for her performance on the first test, but classmate John set no goal. According to the theory developed by _____, Susie should do better because the goal will help her to direct attention, mobilize effort, and increase persistence.

Answer:    Edwin Locke

Explanation:  Edwin Locke posed goal-setting theory, which deals with how and what way goals should be set. According to this theory, anyone who sets a goal and has the correct determinants of the goal, and those goals were difficult but precisely defined and elaborated, were closer to achieving the goal than those who set goals generally without elaborating and determining all aspects of the goal. It is even less likely, like John, in this case, when the goal is not set at all to be fulfilled. Experts agree that this theory is good as a guideline for goal setting, and it contains five basic principles that should be followed when setting a goal accurately and elaborately.
