Success rate A 2007 study by Richard Wiseman from theUniversity of Bristol involving 3,000 people showed that 88% of those who set New Year resolutions fail,[7] despite the fact that 52% of the studys participants were confident of success at the beginning. Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, (a system where small measurable goals are being set; such as, a pound a week, instead of saying lose weight), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends.[8]It is also noted that talking with a counselor about setting goals and new year resolutions can help people keep their resolutions.
