Abstract

The study explores motivational profiles for physical activity, using self-determination theory’s full continuum of motivational regulations, and examines their stability over three months. Furthermore, it investigates whether physical environment and community characteristics are associated with transitioning between profiles, as well as the sociodemographic differences in these motivational transition pathways. Data were collected from 305 U.S. residents at three time points. The three profiles—‘low in motivation’ (23.5 % of the sample in wave 1), ‘self-determined motivation’ (41.4 %), and ‘ambivalent motivation’ (35.0 %)—were relatively stable. Staying in the low-in-motivation profile was negatively associated with being active in social settings, community support, perceived environmental restorativeness, and availability of physical activity opportunities. Having a higher education and income, being male, employed, married or in a partnership, and identifying as White were associated with being in a motivationally positive profile in the last wave of the study. These profiles reported higher activity and life satisfaction.

环境与体育活动相关动机轨迹之间的关系。

这项研究利用自我决定理论的完整连续性动机规定，探索了体育锻炼的动机特征，并研究了它们在三个月内的稳定性。此外，研究还探讨了物理环境和社区特征是否与不同动机之间的转变相关，以及这些动机转变途径的社会人口差异。研究收集了 305 名美国居民在三个时间点的数据。三种情况--"低动机"（占第一波样本的 23.5%）、"自决动机"（41.4%）和 "矛盾动机"（35.0%）--相对稳定。保持低动机状态与在社会环境中的活跃程度、社区支持、感知到的环境恢复能力以及体育锻炼机会的可获得性呈负相关。在最后一波研究中，受过高等教育、有较高收入、男性、有工作、已婚或有伴侣，以及自认为是白人的人与处于积极动机状况相关。这些人的活动量和生活满意度都较高。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
