Abstract
The term “goal” refers to a future state of affairs that a person wishes to attain or maintain. Goals prompt planning, which, in turn, serves as the basis for action. From these simple premises it is apparent that the core function of goals is to regulate behavior and that communicative goals and plans fall under the broader conceptual umbrella of behavioral goals and plans.
