Abstract

Physical activity (PA) produces various outcomes, including affective responses and instrumental benefits (e.g., weight loss, health). Theories of behavioral maintenance suggest that decisions to continue PA engagement will depend on one’s satisfaction with received outcomes. Thus, this study was designed to test how different combinations of affective and instrumental outcomes influence motivation, intentions, and subsequent PA behavior over a two-week study period. Participants with weight loss goals (N = 119) were provided an exercise video that was designed to manipulate their affect while exercising (positive vs. neutral) and their beliefs about the video’s instrumentality for weight loss (instrumental vs. not). Self-report measures assessed participants’ affect while exercising, instrumental beliefs that the video would produce weight loss, and motivation and intention to exercise with the video for two weeks. After two weeks, participants reported their video use. Because initial pre-registered analyses revealed that the video manipulation did not produce a difference in affect, a regression-based approach was implemented to examine whether variability in self-reported affect while exercising and beliefs about the video’s effect on weight loss predicted motivation, intentions, and video use during the two-week study period. Reports of more favorable affect were positively associated with motivation and video use, regardless of instrumental beliefs. For those reporting less favorable affect, strong instrumental beliefs appeared to bolster motivation, but had an adverse effect on video use. Findings provide insight into how different types of PA outcomes might influence motivation and continued behavioral engagement.

情感和工具性体育锻炼结果如何与动机、意向和后续行为的参与相关联。

体育锻炼（PA）会产生各种结果，包括情感反应和工具性益处（如减肥、健康）。行为维持理论认为，是否继续参与体育锻炼取决于个人对所获结果的满意度。因此，本研究旨在测试在为期两周的研究期间，情感和工具性结果的不同组合如何影响动机、意向和随后的锻炼行为。研究人员向有减肥目标的参与者（119 人）提供了一个运动视频，旨在操纵他们在运动时的情绪（积极与中性），以及他们对视频减肥工具性的看法（工具性与非工具性）。自我报告测量法评估了参与者在运动时的情绪、对视频会产生减肥效果的工具性信念，以及在两周内使用视频进行运动的动机和意向。两周后，参与者报告他们使用视频的情况。由于最初的登记前分析表明，视频操作并没有产生情感上的差异，因此我们采用了一种基于回归的方法来研究自我报告的运动时的情感变化和对视频减肥效果的信念是否会预测两周研究期间的动机、意向和视频使用情况。无论工具性信念如何，报告更有利的情绪与动机和视频使用呈正相关。对于那些报告了较少有利情绪的人来说，强烈的工具性信念似乎会增强他们的动机，但却对视频的使用产生了不利影响。研究结果让我们了解到不同类型的体育锻炼结果可能会如何影响动机和持续行为参与。

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.
