From: Everyday emotion–goal pursuit associations in older adults are moderated by goal representations

Johnson–Neyman plot examines the simple slopes of positive emotion on goal pursuit in relation to the moderator (hoped-for goal representation for Goal A).

People with strong hoped-for goals engage in more goal pursuit when their positive emotions are elevated.
