Abstract:
Background: Motivation could be considered as a critical factor for being and staying physically active in the spinal cord–injured population. Objectives: Our goals were (1) to describe motivation to exercise in people with paraplegia, comparing those who engage in regular physical exercise with those who do not and (2) to establish whether such motivation is related to the type of physical exercise practiced. Methods: This study was quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive research. One-hundred and six participants with chronic paraplegia completed the Spanish version of the Exercise Motivations Inventory (EMI-2). Participants were divided into the non-exerciser group (NEG) and the exerciser group (EG). EG was subclassified into sports players (SPs) and physical exercisers (PEs). Results: Participants in both EG and NEG presented a similar motivation toward physical exercise. The most important motive to practice or to adhere to exercise in participants with SCI was ill-health avoidance (mean, 8.45; SD, 1.33). Fitness was the second most important motive (ie, nimbleness, flexibility, strength, and endurance). Motives that distinguished EG from NEG included enjoyment and revitalization [ t(41.9) = −2.54, p < .05, r = 0.36], competition [ t(56.8) = 2.24, p < .05, r = 0.28], and health pressure [ t(104) = 3.22, p < .01, r = 0.30]. Furthermore, we found that motivation was related to the type of physical exercise performed. SPs showed a statistically significantly higher score for competition and enjoyment and revitalization than PEs ( p < .05). Conclusion: Ill-health avoidance and fitness are the key motivational factors to practice and adhere to physical exercise. Motivation is related to the type of physical exercise performed. Health providers need to understand these factors to promote and sustain long-term adherence to exercise in the SCI population.

Abstract:
According to the Self-Determination Theory, perceived job pressures can coerce professionals to develop more controlled motivations towards their work, and consequently increase the probability of using controlling motivational strategies. This study sought to analyze work-related motivations as mediators between two types of perceived job pressures: organizational constraints and perceptions of clients’ controlled motivation and the use of controlling motivational strategies by exercise professionals. Using a cross-sectional design, involving 366 exercise professionals (172 women), mediation paths were assessed following Preacher and Hayes statistical procedures. Models were adjusted for gender, work experience (years), and the internal tendency to feel events as pressuring. Organizational constraints were associated with lower autonomous motivation for work and the use of controlling strategies. Perceptions of clients’ controlled motivation were associated with work-related amotivation and the use of controlling strategies. Amotivation mediated the association between organizational constraints and controlling strategies. Overall, results support theoretical predictions and previous research, extending it to the exercise domain, highlighting the interplay between job pressures, work-related motivations, and the use of controlling strategies. The understanding of what influences exercise professionals’ motivation, and consequently the motivational strategies they use, is of paramount importance for exercise promotion and the benefit of those who seek their expert guidance.

Abstract:
In recent years, several multi-user virtual environments (VEs) have been developed to promote motivation and exercise intensity in motor rehabilitation. While competitive VEs have been extensively evaluated, collaborative and competitive rehabilitation VEs have seen relatively little study. Therefore, this article presents an evaluation of a VE for post-stroke arm rehabilitation that mimics everyday kitchen tasks and can be used either solo or collaboratively. Twenty subacute stroke survivors exercised with the VE for four sessions, with the first and third sessions involving solo exercise and the other two involving collaborative exercise. Exercise intensity was measured using inertial sensors while motivation was measured with questionnaires. Results showed high motivation and exercise intensity over all four sessions, and 11 of 20 participants preferred collaborative over solo exercise while only 4 preferred solo exercise. However, there were no differences in motivation, exercise duration, or exercise intensity between solo and collaborative sessions. Thus, we cannot currently claim that collaborative exercises are beneficial for upper limb rehabilitation. Future studies should evaluate other collaborative VE designs in different settings (e.g., at home) and with different participant pairs (e.g., patient-unimpaired) to find effective ways to utilize collaborative exercises in motor rehabilitation.

Abstract:
We examined motivation contagion in a hypothetical exercise setting. Exercise science students (n = 164) were provided with quotes of hypothetical male and female obese exercisers displaying different quality of motivation to start an exercise program. We used a 3 (exerciser motivation) × 2 (exerciser gender) × 2 (student gender) between-subjects experimental design to examine students’ (a) motivation to instruct, (b) interpersonal style, (c) perception of barrier efficacy of the exerciser, and (d) effort to identify factors that could maximize the effectiveness of an exercise program for the exerciser. Results showed that students displayed less controlled motivation and rated the exerciser as more capable of overcoming barriers to exercise when they perceived the exerciser to be autonomously motivated. However, students, particularly females, reported more autonomy support and invested more effort toward female exercisers with controlled motivation. Our findings indicate that motivation contagion effects are plausible in exercise settings and may affect interactions between fitness instructors and obese clients.

Abstract:
This study examined the effect of motivational primes on participants (N = 171) during a cycling task. Relative to participants primed with a controlled motivational orientation, it was hypothesized that participants primed for autonomous motivation would report greater feelings of enjoyment, effort, and choice in relation to the cycling activity and report greater exercise intentions. Members of the autonomous prime group were expected to exercise for longer, at a greater percentage of their heart rate maximum, and report lower levels of perceived exertion than those in the controlled prime condition. It was found that, relative to participants in the controlled prime group, those who received the autonomous prime enjoyed the exercise more, exercised at a greater percentage of heart rate maximum, and reported a lower rating of perceived exertion. Furthermore, participants experiencing the controlled prime exercised for less time and had lower intentions to exercise than did other participants. Results highlight the importance of automatic processes in activating motivation for exercise.

Abstract:
The theory of motivation advises that individual behaviors are driven by internal and external stimuli that shape the intensity and direction of action. Within the university sports environment, appropriate motivational stimulation can positively influence students’ engagement in physical activity. Therefore, a supportive and motivating sports environment is likely to foster better exercise habits among Chinese college students in Xi’an. To examine how the university sports environment influences the development of exercise habits through motivational factors, and to explore the mediating roles of leisure satisfaction and mental toughness in shaping these habits among Chinese college students in Xi’an. The study aims to provide empirical evidence on enhancing student participation in exercise through an improved motivational climate in university sports settings. A stratified whole-sample approach was embraced to survey 715 college students in Xi’an. Validated measurement scales were used to assess the impact of the university sports environment, exercise motivation, leisure satisfaction, mental toughness, and exercise habits. Statistical analyses, including mediation consequence tests, were directed using SPSS and AMOS to determine relationships among the variables. The university sports environment had a significant positive impact on exercise motivation (β = 0.50, p < 0.001), which in turn positively influenced leisure satisfaction (β = 0.47, p < 0.001), mental toughness (β = 0.44, p < 0.001), and the formation of consistent exercise habits (β = 0.22, p < 0.001). Both leisure satisfaction and mental toughness significantly predicted stronger exercise habits (β = 0.35, p < 0.001; β = 0.29, p < 0.001, respectively) and mediated the relationship between motivation and habit formation. The findings underscore the crucial role of a motivating university sports environment in shaping exercise behaviors among college students and highlight the psychological mechanisms through which these effects occur.

Abstract:
Abstract Background and Objectives Increasing exercise continues to be an important health issue for both older and younger adults. Researchers have suggested several methods for increasing exercise motivation. Socioemotional selectivity theory (SST) posits that people’s motivation shift from future-oriented instrumental goals to present-oriented emotionally meaningful goals as we age, which provides insight into how people’s motivations for exercise may differ for older versus younger adults. The aim of our study was to examine how exercise motivation differs for older versus younger adults. Research Design and Methods Older (greater than 59 years old) and younger (aged 18–26 years) adults participated in focus groups. They discussed exercise motivation (or lack thereof), motivators and barriers to exercise, and preferences about when, where, and with whom they exercise. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using direct content analysis and iterative categorization. Results Consistent with SST, younger adults generally preferred to exercise alone to achieve instrumental fitness goals, whereas older adults preferred to exercise with others. Additionally, older adults tend to consider peripheral others (e.g., strangers, acquaintances), as a positive rather than a negative influence. Discussion and Implications SST provides a framework for exploring age-related shifts in exercise motivation. Additionally, the positivity effect was reflected in how older adults evaluated the influence of peripheral others. Motivational messages could be tailored to increase health behavior changes by focusing on instrumental exercise goals for younger adults and exercise focused on meaningful relationships for older adults.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between demographic variables and exercise motivation. 764 exercisers from the 18 largest Slovenian fitness clubs completed the Exercise Motivation Inventory-2 questionnaire, which was combined with other demographic questions. The analysis confirmed that men exercise different reasons than women. Young adults crave social recognition and exposure, but also want to get stronger and compete with others. Older adults exercise because they want to recover, stay healthy, control their weight, and stay mobile. Participants who played competitive sports in their youth now exercise because they enjoy exercise, feel challenged, and compete, but also because they want to be recognized socially more than non-competitors who exercise primarily for health reasons. Single people have statistically significantly different motivations to exercise than people who are in a relationship or married, mainly affiliation and social recognition. In contrast, married people exercise mainly for health reasons. Employment status also has an impact on exercise motivation, as does education. People with higher education levels exercise more for health reasons, while less educated people exercise for challenge, competition, and social recognition. These findings highlight the practical importance of motivational structure among athletes from different demographic backgrounds.

Abstract:
This study presents attitudes and engagements toward Physical Fitness Exercise. The analysis of students' attitudes toward Physical Fitness exercises reveals insightful observations. In terms of their emotionally-driven attitude, demonstrates their propensity to utilize physical activity as a way to let go of tension and let their emotions. When it comes to peer-related motivation, shows a great desire, in the context of physical health, to be accepted by their friends. On the other hand, cultural motivations for exercise indicate a mediocre degree of drive for engaging in fitness pursuits associated with cultural standards. Gender- driven motivation demonstrates students' comparatively great desire to enhance their physical appearance to appeal to people of the other gender. The data indicates a moderate tendency towards exercise frequency and timing in terms of time-driven attitudes. Conversely, students exhibit a moderate to moderately high degree of participation in health-related exercise, with a greater emphasis on flexibility exercises as opposed to muscular strength exercises similar to Skill-Related Exercise. Correlation analysis reveals that students' attitudes have varying degrees of influence on their engagement in physical fitness exercises, with stronger positive correlations for health-related exercises compared to skill-related exercises. It is recommended that policymakers advocate for comprehensive physical education programs in schools that not only focus on physical activity but also address the emotional and social aspects of exercise. This can help cultivate positive attitudes towards physical fitness from an early age, incorporate cultural sensitivity to enhance motivation among diverse student populations address the specific needs of different genders.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the influence of exercise motivation and body image on exercise behavior (using a multi-method approach), in order to better understand the phenomenon of unhealthy exercise. The first phase of this study was quantitative, and served to compare the exercise motivation (using Self-Determination Theory, Deci & Ryan, 1985) and perception of body image of "healthy" and "unhealthy" exercisers using a questionnaire. Specifically, 233 exercisers (102 males, 131 females) completed a questionnaire compiled of a self-reported exercise behavior scale (Salonen & Lakka, 1987), the Commitment to Exercise Scale (Davis et al., 1993), the Sport Motivation Scale (Pelletier et al., 1995), and the Body Cathexis Scale (Tucker, 1981). The self-reported exercise behavior scale and the Commitment to Exercise Scale were used to divide exercisers into "healthy" and "unhealthy" groups. In order to obtain a deeper, more complex, understanding of the phenomenon of unhealthy exercise specifically, a second qualitative phase (Phase 2) consisted of interviewing 4 exercisers (2 males, 2 females) identified in Phase 1 as having the most "unhealthy" exercise behaviors.

Abstract:
Kinesiology<br>Ph.D.<br>Women make up only 7% of the incarcerated population (Guerino, Harrison, & Sabol, 2012). However, this number is rising exponentially. The female prison population has increased eight-fold since 1980 (Carson & Gionelli, 2013). Up to 70% of women who are incarcerated will recidivate (Mallik-Kane & Vischer, 2008). A major contributor to this rapid increase and high rate of recidivism is that women's physical and mental health needs are not met while they are incarcerated. Creating gender sensitive programming that addresses women's physical and mental health needs while they are incarcerated and that can influence their lives after they leave could help decrease recidivism and increase the quality of life of thousands (Bloom, Owen, & Covington, 2003). While structured exercise programs are being offered with more frequency in women's prisons to help address these mental and physical health problems, attendance has been low and program staff struggle to retain participants. This research examined women's motivation to exercise, what they felt were benefits of engaging in physical activity, and what they perceived the barriers to physical activity are while incarcerated. The study was conducted in conjunction with an indoor cycling class being offered at the Philadelphia County Women's prison. Twenty-four women enrolled in the study and completed pre-program interviews and pencil and paper measures. Twelve women completed a follow up test; six graduated from the cycling program; six dropped out. Results show that women who build connections (relatedness) with instructors and peers are more likely to adhere to a structured exercise program, and that the basic psychological needs laid out by Self-Determination Theory are related to adherence. Additionally, women can internalize a range of reasons for and benefits of exercise that can help them overcome a range of institutional, individual, and environment barriers evident in a correctional setting.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:
Many factors contribute to people's physical inactivity, but among the leading factors is a lack of motivation. Fitness trackers have been shown to encourage an increase in exercise, but they are frequently abandoned within a few short months. For this thesis I developed and asynchronous-play social gaming platform, FitPlay Games, to fill the gap in motivation left by current fitness trackers. By providing users with a variety of asynchronous cooperative and competitive gaming styles, this platform enable them to find a motivation technique that works best for their lifestyle and fitness prowess. The platform encourages prolonged use of fitness trackers, helping users to have more healthy lifestyles. Individual games are designed to allow both the novice and the maven to have a chance at winning, leveling the playing field, and increasing motivation to win. The effectiveness, usability, and enjoyability of the social games will be assessed, with an emphasis on understanding differences in play habits due to gender and lifestyle.

Abstract:
This research examined the role of motivational cognitions and belief systems in the process of exercise adoption and maintenance. Deci and Ryan (1985,1990) outline a continuum of behavioural regulation that ranges from non-self-determined regulation (external regulation) to completely self-determined regulation (intrinsic regulation). Prochaska and DiClemente (1984) describe five stages of behaviour change that range from no thoughts of changing (precontemplation) to maintenance of change (maintenance). They also outline ten strategies and techniques for encouraging and maintaining change which are known as the processes of change. Kelly (1955, 1963) presents a personal construct theory which maintains that each of us has theories or constructs about people and events which guide beliefs and behaviour. Research, which integrated these concepts, was conducted in three phases. A Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire was developed in the first phase of research. Results from the second phase of research revealed that regulation of exercise behaviour was more self-determined in the later than in the earlier stages of change. This highlights the importance of motivational considerations in understanding the change process. Only five of the ten processes of change made a meaningful contribution to differentiation among the stagesi n femalesw hile only three of the processesm ade a meaningfulc ontribution to differentiation among the stages in males. These processes showed moderate to strong correlations with those forms of behavioural regulation that are at least somewhat selfdetermined. In addition, those successfully changing their stage of exercise behaviour over a three month period increased their use of the counter-conditioning process. However, confirmatory factor analysis of the Processes of Change for Exercise Questionnaire brought into question the factorial validity of the measure. The final phase of research examined personal construction of exercise as a function of stage of changea nd self determination for exercise. Those in the maintenance stage of change had strong opinions about and strong preferences for certain modes of exercise, while references to being too serious about exercise were strongest in the preparation and precontemplation stages. The preparation stage was marked by desire for more motivation and push to take more exercise. As self-determination decreased references to lack of time for exercise and a desire to have more motivation or put in more effort increased. This research suggests that conflict between desired self (more active and healthy) and actual self (not the fit and active type) may be greatest in the preparation and action stages of change where the act of exercising is still low in self-determination and not yet reconciled with one's sense of self.

Abstract:
Background. Regularly exercising is difficult, some people stop exercising either due to it not being fun or they might not see any results of the effort they put in. Exercise and gaming or also know as exergaming, is a way to combine the fun entertainment of games with the health benefits of exercise. Objectives. The objective of this study is to conduct an experiment to find out if people are more interested in an exercising app which has been gamified compared to a normal exercising app. Gamifyingsomethingsuggeststhatsomethingwhichisnotconsideredagamemedium is taken, and then influence with game related aspects. Methods. A prototype was created to show the participants both sides of the exercise apps, one normal app which resembles an everyday exercising app, and one gamified app which shows the user their progress in a fashion similar to role-playing games with levels and quests. The participants of the test will try both apps and later vote in a survey whichever they liked the most. Results. While only about 60% of the participants had prior experience with exercise apps, 90% would rather choose the gamified app over the normal app. 95% of the participants were regular gamers. Conclusions. The vast majority of the participants preferred the gamified version of the app over the normal one. Specifically mentioning that they find it more interesting and that they enjoy the upfront progression system a lot more since they are used to it from the games they play on their free time

Abstract:
The degree of involvement of the student in sports activities, in any form, depends on their interest and level of motivation to exercise. Therefore, the school-family partnership forms a pedagogical condition for the practice of physical exercises of pre-adolescent students, achieved through the joint activities of teachers, parents and students. The choice of the topic is a consequence of the finding of the determined motivation of the students and the parents for practicing the physical exercise but also of the lack of their active involvement in the respective act. That is why the confrontation with the given situation generated the need to carry out a study on this topic. There was a need to try to increase the motivational spectrum of students and parents, introducing other motivations (some extrinsic) and to explain the value of exercise, so that they are internalized, aware and accepted by students, parents.

Abstract:
As a first step toward supporting physical exercise habituation suitable for individual personalities, we investigated the values and attitudes toward exercise that are effective in motivating people to exercise, when competition with others is stimulated. We developed an experiment, wherein agents posed as competitors to the participants, so that the competition among the participants could be controlled.The results of the experiments show that competition with others and the difference in exercise performance between others and oneself influences motivation. The relationship between the user's attitude factors, especially confidence, and motivation were also discussed.

Abstract:
People management has an important role to play in improving public agency performance. This paper argues that a ‘Route Y’ managerial approach focused on supporting the empowered exercise of employee judgment will in many circumstances prove superior to conventionalreform approaches steeped in ‘Route X’ monitoring and incentives. Returns to Route Y are greater when employees are or can become more “mission motivated” – that is, aligned with the goals of the agency in the absence of monitoring and extrinsic incentives. Returns to Route Y are also greater when monitoring is incomplete or otherwise likely to unproductively distort effort, thus lowering the returns to using performance-linked rewards and penalties. I argue that education systems are one (but far from the only) setting where Route Y is a lever worth focusing on in efforts to improve public performance in the developed and developing world alike.

Abstract:
Profound climate change-driven environmental changes observed in Alaska prompted the National Park Service?s Alaska Leadership Council (ALC) to dedicate a half-day of their September 2019 meeting to understanding and addressing key climate change vulnerabilities. The session aimed to introduce participants to the Resist-Accept-Direct (RAD) framework?an emerging framing tool for exploring the ?universe? of potential adaptation actions?and to initiate broader discussion regarding current and potential future adaptation actions in each of Alaska?s national parks. Participating superintendents were asked to both identify ongoing actions in their parks in response to climate change and brainstorm potential future actions. This report summarizes and analyzes their responses. To gauge the extent to which participants were exploring the full adaptation decision space and to better understand how to apply the RAD framework, actions were further classified as reflecting one of the three RAD categories: resistance, acceptance, or directing of change. Roughly half of all submissions were adaptation actions. Of these adaptation actions, nearly a third were subsistence-related, reflecting the importance of subsistence in the Alaska region. Most adaptation actions were focused on resisting climate change impacts on resources, assets, and people. The exercise clarified the need to understand what constitutes an adaptation action. For example, a decision to support or conduct a research project is different than a decision to use that research to take adaptive action. More importantly, the exercise showed that evaluating the degree to which participants explored the full adaptation decision space?i.e., by classifying each action under the RAD framework?requires that the motivating intention or goal of the action be clearly articulated. For example, ?plant(ing) vegetation after disturbance? can be a resistance or a directing-change action depending on whether the motivation is to (a) plant historically occurring species in historically occurring proportions to restore pre-disturbance conditions or to (b) favor species adapted to emerging and projected conditions. This important lesson in RAD framework application underscores the need to request a higher degree of specificity about the motivations behind potential actions in adaptation planning processes. This report documents the ALC?s thinking on climate change adaptation at one point (snapshot) in time. It shows that many of the adaptation actions identified by participants focused on resisting climate change impacts, empowers assessment of the evolution of adaptation action by the NPS ALC, helps to clarify how best to use the RAD framework, and, ideally, prompts further discussion and adaptation action in Alaska.

Abstract:
Le présent rapport s’inscrit dans la continuité d’une vaste étude débutée en 2020 qui a pour objectif de mieux comprendre la préférence croissante de la population canadienne pour les véhicules énergivores ainsi que les facteurs (politiques, économiques, sociaux, etc.) qui contribuent à l’augmentation des ventes de ce type de véhicules. Le CIRANO a déjà contribué à travers plusieurs rapports publiés depuis 2020 et plus récemment par le biais d’une analyse des motivations d’achat de camions légers au Québec (Gruber, Peignier et Pentcheva, 2023). Le présent rapport complète les connaissances sur les consommateur(-trice)s en se concentrant plutôt sur l’environnement des concessionnaires automobiles et sur la manière dont il peut influencer le choix des consommateur(-trice)s. La littérature scientifique en marketing, et plus spécifiquement celle centrée sur le comportement des consommateur(-trice)s, montre que toute décision est prise dans un environnement qui exerce automatiquement une influence sur le choix d’un produit particulier. Les consommateur(-trice)s sont influencé(e)s par l’ordre dans lequel les produits sont présentés, par les images qui les accompagnent et par la manière dont les informations sur ces produits sont encadrées (Ungemach et coll., 2018). La décision d’acheter ou de ne pas acheter un véhicule donné est encore principalement prise chez les concessionnaires automobiles. Il est donc très important d’étudier la manière dont cet environnement particulier façonne les décisions des consommateur(-trice)s. À cette fin, nous avons eu recours à des observations sous la forme d’une enquête mystère, afin d’étudier l’environnement des concessionnaires automobiles (Wilson, 2011). Plus précisément, ce rapport présente l’approche méthodologique et les résultats des visites mystères effectuées chez trente concessionnaires automobiles ruraux, suburbains et urbains du Québec. Toutes les visites ont eu lieu entre septembre et décembre 2022. Les testeur(-euse)s ont été formés pour observer et noter le discours et les pratiques des vendeur(-euse)s. Les résultats montrent que les personnes chargées de la vente chez les concessionnaires automobiles ne poussent pas systématiquement la clientèle potentielle vers les gros véhicules. Elles façonnent plutôt, subtilement, sa perception en lui présentant un plus grand nombre d’arguments en faveur des gros véhicules. En outre, elles semblent moins bien connaître les arguments en défaveur des véhicules de plus grande taille. Par exemple, aucune d’entre elles n’a été capable de parler des différences d’émissions entre les différents types de véhicules sans avoir cherché au préalable cette information. De plus, les gros véhicules sont plus susceptibles d’être exposés à l’extérieur ou à l’intérieur du concessionnaire, ce qui constitue un point d’ancrage mental pour la clientèle potentielle qui entre dans un concessionnaire avec différentes options en tête. Conformément aux conclusions de Brazeau et Denoncourt (2021), ces images montrent souvent de gros véhicules dans la nature, ce qui les rend encore plus attrayants pour une hypothétique clientèle, même si celle-ci ne les utiliserait pas (ou ne pourrait pas les utiliser) dans un tel environnement. L’impact environnemental des différents types de véhicules et les implications en ce qui concerne la sécurité pour les autres usager(-ère)s de la route sont pratiquement absents du discours. Enfin, plusieurs de nos testeur(-euse)s ont noté que l’équipe des ventes est parfois incapable de justifier la raison pour laquelle la taille des véhicules continue d’augmenter sans que la clientèle en retire un avantage clair. Les résultats montrent qu’il est important de mieux former les équipes de ventes pour qu’elles puissent parler des implications en matière de sécurité et de l’impact sur l’environnement des différents véhicules.
