Examining intrinsic versus extrinsic exercise goals
Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), this study had two purposes: (a) examine the associations between intrinsic (relative to extrinsic) exercise goal content and cognitive, affective, and behavioral Outcomes: and (b)...
Development and validation of the adolescent psychological need support in exercise questionnaire
Grounded within self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000; Ryan & Deci, in press), three studies were conducted to develop and psychometrically test a measure of adolescents’ perceptions of psychological need...
Exploring response shift in the quality of life of healthy adolescents over one year.
Background: The assessment of child and adolescent quality of life (QoL) is increasingly incorporated into practice and research within health and social care. However, little is known about the stability of the...
A theoretical investigation of the development of physical activity habits in retirement
Objectives. This study examined the impact of retirement on physical activity patterns. More specifically, the process of initiating and maintaining behaviour changes in physical activity were explored using a...
