A study done by Pierro, Giacomantonio, Pica, Kruglanski, and Higgins (2011) examined the ways locomotion and assessment affects procrastination and how people manage time.
The study emphasized that assessment orientation evaluates and analyzes in such detail that they delay making the decision quickly.
In Avnet and Higgin's study (2004), the participants paid more for the book-light when their decisions were based on their regulatory orientation—either locomotion or assessment.
Mannetti, Pierro, Higgins, and Kruglanski (2012) investigated peoples' commitment to exercising at the gym and how regularly they went.
Since locomotion runs on the motivation to do and to act, the positive effects of making a behavior happen can be expanded to other areas.
