Q

What are Physiological/Effective States?

A
  • Pain, Fatigue, Emotions – Accurate interpretation
  • Ex: after being fit and being so sore, think you can push you pain of soreness and it won’t always be like that
  • if you are doing something and you enjoy it, then more likely to think you can do it
  • if you didn’t enjoy it, then belief and ability to do it again is lower

Q

4 things self-efficacy is linked to

A
  • Sport performance
  • Exercise adherence
  • Children’s energy expenditure
  • Cardiac rehabilitation Adherence
32
Q

4 things self-efficacy is key for

A
  • New or challenging behaviours
  • Early stages of exercise adoption
  • Maintaining exercise behaviour in transition from structured exercise to independent program
  • Vigorous PA
33
Q

Which Theory:
•Designed for single-instance behaviour (e.g., voting)
•Related to intention:
-Attitude (positive/negative thoughts concerning behaviour)
-Sense of subjective norm (degree individual feels social pressure to perform behaviour)
•Strength of relationship between intention and behaviour weakens with longer time periods

A

Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA)

34
Q

3 beliefs that influence intention and behaviour

A
  • Behavioural Beliefs (attitudes)
  • Normative Beliefs (subjective norm)
  • Control Beliefs (perceived behavioral control)
35
Q

Which theory is an extension of TRA and predicts exercise-related beliefs & behaviour:

  • Across gender, age, and ethnicity
  • With healthy & clinical populations
A

Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB)

36
Q

What is

  • Degree of personal control individual feels that he/she has over behaviour
    - overlap with this and self-efficacy theory
  • Accounts for many potential barriers to a behaviour
  • Can influence behaviour directly or through intentions
A

Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC)

37
Q

What are 2 reviews of research on TPB

A
  • Attitude & PBC have strongest association with Intentions

- Intentions can explain 1/3 of individual differences in PA behaviour

38
Q

4 things interventions should focus on

A
  1. Improve individual attitude (increase knowledge?)
  2. Promote personal control over one’s PA
  3. Allow exercisers input when designing their PA program
  4. Teach exercisers methods to approach perceived barriers to PA
39
Q

What theory:
•Based on pioneering work of psychologists Edward Deci and Richard Ryan
•Global theory of human movement and development
•Main premise revolves around extent that behaviours are undertaken volitionally, rather than by being controlled
•People naturally endowed with innate tendencies for personal growth and development
