Ch 3 - Theories and Models of Exercise Behavior 1 Flashcards
model
is a visual representation of a phenomenon or behaviour
theory
can be graphically represented (modeled) to aid in conceptualization
motivation
the degree of determination, drive, or desire with which an individual approaches (or avoids) a behaviour.
it is the direction and intensity of one’s effort
intrinsic motivation
motivation that emanates within
extrensic motivation
motivation driven by a force outside the individual
expectancy-value
theorists proposed that motivation (and thus behaviour) was predicated on the individual’s expected
social cognitive approach
view exercise behavior as being influenced by both human cognition (expectations, intention..) and external stimuli (social pressures/experiences)
self-efficacy
the extent to which the individual feels she will be successful in performing the desired behaviour, given the abilities she possessses and the unique situation in which she finds herself
situation-specific form of self-confidence
vicarious experiences
modeling
imagery
a behavior performed in the mind using some or all of bodys senses
social persuasion
verbal and nonverbal tactics used by others in an attempt to increase a person’s self-efficacy
physiological state
physical (racing heart, pain, fatigue)
affective
emotion (pos and neg)
coping efficacy
self-efficacy for overcoming barriers or challenges to exercise
scheduling efficacy
confidence in ones abilities to schedule and manage exercise behavior
theory of reasoned action and theory of planned behavior
based on social cognitive approach
predict voting behavior
based on intention
self efficacy theory
predicts acute and chronic behavior
subjective norm
focuses on the degree to which a person feels social pressure to perform the behaviour
thoery of planned behavior
behavioral, normative beliefs –> attitudes, subjective norm —> intention –> behavior
both intervention and pbc are hypothesized to be equally influential predictors of behavior
perceived behavioral control
refers to the degree of personal control the individual perceives he or she has over the behavior in question
is proposed to influence behavior independently as well as through its effect on intention
self-determination theory
was designed to better explain affective, cognitive, and hehavioral responses within an achievement domain (eg academics) and has become popular among exercise psychology researchers
amotivation
defined as the relative absence of motivation or lack of intention to engage in a behavior
integrated regulation
the process of engaging in a behavior in order to confirm ones sense of self
identified regulation
occurs when behavior is motivated by personal goals
introjected regulation
exist when a behavior is dictated by a self-imposed source of pressure (exercising in order to avoid feelings of guilt)
external regulation
process of engaging in a behavior for the purpose of obtaining an external reward or avoiding an externally applied punishment
global motivation
refers to the degree of motivation normally experienced by an individual across most behavioral domains
contextual motivation
relatively stable pattern of motivation experienced in a particular context
situational motivation
refers to motivation experienced in a particular activity (might by motivated to exercise today but not tomorrow)
