Abstract

Many adults worldwide do not meet current physical activity (PA) guidelines. Mental fatigue decreases the likelihood of choosing to engage in PA. Message framing may enhance PA motivation when fatigued. We examined the effects of mental fatigue and message framing on PA motivation with additional focus on the messaging "congruency effect." Three hundred and twenty undergraduates completed measures of dispositional motivational orientation and were exposed to either gain-framed or loss-framed messages before completing an effort discounting questionnaire. Results showed lower motivation to engage in PA of higher intensities and longer durations. Direct effects of message framing on PA motivation were not significant. Interaction effects revealed that participants receiving messages congruent with their dominant motivational orientation showed increased motivation for light-intensity PA and decreased motivation for vigorous-intensity PA as mental fatigue increased. Findings suggest that providing messages congruent with one's dominant motivational orientation may increase motivation for engaging in light-intensity PA when fatigued.

信息中有什么？心理疲劳和信息框架对体育锻炼动机的影响。

世界上有许多成年人达不到现行的体育锻炼（PA）指导方针。精神疲劳会降低选择参加体育锻炼的可能性。信息框架可能会提高疲劳时的体育锻炼动机。我们研究了精神疲劳和信息框架对体育锻炼动机的影响，并重点研究了信息的 "一致性效应"。320 名本科生完成了倾向性动机取向的测量，并在完成努力折扣问卷之前接触了收益框架或损失框架的信息。结果显示，参与强度更高、持续时间更长的体育锻炼的动机较低。信息框架对PA动机的直接影响并不显著。交互效应显示，随着心理疲劳度的增加，接受与其主导动机取向一致的信息的参与者对轻强度活动的动机增加，而对高强度活动的动机减少。研究结果表明，提供与一个人的主导动机取向相一致的信息可能会提高疲劳时参与轻强度运动的动机。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology (JSEP) is a peer-reviewed publication designed to stimulate and communicate research theory in all areas of sport and exercise psychology. JSEP emphasizes original research reports that advance our understanding of human behavior as it relates to sport and exercise. Comprehensive reviews employing both qualitative and quantitative methods are also encouraged, as well as brief reports of soundly designed research studies that are of special interest or importance. Areas of interest include research in social, clinical, developmental, and experimental psychology, as well as psychobiology and personality. Moreover, the terms sport and exercise may pertain to either the independent or dependent variables. Generally speaking, work on motor control processes, studies of sport as a social institution, or broader social issues are beyond the scope of JSEP. A wide variety of methods are acceptable for studying sport and exercise psychology topics.
