Abstract：
The present research examines the impact of regulatory fit on consumer wellness. In two field studies, participants engaged in a 4-week getting-fit program in a yoga studio and received daily reminders of their goal of body slimming.
Results showed that (1) regulatory fit facilitates goal attainment in a weight loss context, (2) regulatory goal reinforcement is more effective than regulatory goal implementation intentions, and (3) regulatory fit intensifies the goal reinforcement effect as well as the goal implementation intentions effect.
