Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates how functional, emotional, and social values shape Pilates participants' attitudes and behavioral intentions within an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (ETPB) framework.

Method: A survey was conducted with 288 Pilates participants, and structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the relationships among perceived value, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and behavioral intention.

Results: The findings indicate that functional and social values positively influence attitudes, whereas emotional value has no significant effect. Moreover, subjective norms exert the strongest influence on behavioral intention, highlighting the importance of social factors in Pilates participation.

Discussion/conclusion: This study underscores the role of perceived value in shaping attitudes and confirms the dominant impact of subjective norms on behavioral intention. The findings offer theoretical contributions by refining the ETPB model and provide practical insights for enhancing engagement in Pilates programs.

Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature by applying an ETPB model to the context of Pilates, incorporating perceived value as an additional factor. It challenges the traditional emphasis on attitude as the primary predictor of behavioral intention by highlighting the dominant role of subjective norms. These insights offer a more nuanced understanding of the factors driving Pilates participation and provide practical implications for developing strategies to enhance engagement and retention in Pilates programs.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
