Effect of compatibility between conscious goal and
non-conscious (unconscious) priming on performance Past studies have indicated that using goal priming and explicitly given instructions (subconscious manipulation) produce similar outcomes and influence a broad range of behaviors. The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis. However this theory is not new, yet has been proven and practiced for hundreds of years. According to Freud, the unconscious is the source of our motivations, whether they are simple desires such as food, sex, or neurotic compulsions. Everything, both good and bad, seems to stem from the expression or repression of the sex drive. Maslow a humanistic psychologist, believed that human beings are not pushed or pulled by mechanical forces, stimuli, reinforcements or unconscious instinctual impulses (priming). Every human action is done consciously in pursuit of reaching self-actualization. Experiment 1) The wire game move a metal ring along a wire avoiding contact between the ring and the wire: accuracy goal priming (high, moderate, low). Base your accuracy on the level primed. 2) The scrambled sentence task participants requested to produce a sentence using words presented in a scrambled order. Two versions of task, first one intended to prime accuracy, the other to prime inaccuracy. 20 out of 30 sentences contained a word or expression related to accuracy (sharpshooter, detailed, thoroughness) or inaccuracy (clumsy, wrong)
Results Concluded In the study the experiments proved that consciously goal directed execution of a complex motor behavior was partly regulated by processes triggered by a non-conscious priming manipulation. This indicates that the pursuit of a conscious goal can be influenced by external factors that unconsciously regulate behaviors outside of peoples awareness.

Conclusion: Throw Away Your Television According to the text: Test concluded that regulation of behavior by non-conscious priming opens a wide range of perspectives. Results support the idea that compatibility between primed contents and conscious goals constitutes an important factor regarding the interplay of priming and conscious goal pursuits.
