Treating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Understanding healthcare perceptions and decision-making among culturally diverse populations, particularly those who have been defined by centuries of substandard care, marginalization, exploitation, and distrust, is critical to the development of culturally tailored interventions designed to improve patient outcomes and reduce health disparities
Coping Versus Mastery Modeling Intervention to Enhance Self-efficacy for Exercise in Patients with COPD
The literature suggests self-efficacy is a determinant of physical activity and management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The purpose of this study was to (1) test the effects of two vicarious experience interventions, coping versus mastery modeling, on self-efficacy in COPD patients performing a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), and (2) determine the type of self-efficacy most strongly related to physical activity in COPD p…
Believability of messages about preventing breast cancer and heart disease through physical activity
Active women likely internalized messages about heart disease prevention through physical activity, making the prevention messages more readily available within memory, and active women may therefore process such information differently. The study of how health-related beliefs are created and are related to perceptions of prevention messages is a rich area of study that may contribute to more effective health promotion
Taking a hard look at the Heart Truth campaign in Canada
The Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation launched the Heart Truth campaign to increase women's awareness of heart disease. However, little is known about how such campaigns intersect with broader understandings of gender and health. This discourse analysis examined the construction of gender, risk, and prevention within campaign material. Two primary discourses emerged: one of acceptable femininity, which outlines whose risk, survivorship, and pr…
You can’t always get what you want
Research has been unclear on how people’s experiences of exercise adoption influence their outcome expectations of exercise, and how outcome expectations might relate to their continued exercise participation. The current research used qualitative description to explore the outcome expectations and perceived outcomes realised by previously sedentary adults who completed a year-long exercise programme. Participants exercised three times per week a…
Texting to Increase Adolescent Physical Activity
An intervention consisting of pedometers, theory-informed texts, and goal prompts, is a feasible and acceptable method for promoting physical activity to adolescents
Breast cancer representations in Canadian news media
Despite the importance of critical media work, much is to be learned about breast cancer representations within media discourses and the implications for women's identity construction. Building on research from Australia from a discursive perspective, this article used an eclectic approach to critical discourse analysis to explore the cultural construction of breast cancer in 25 detailed stories within Canada's two national newspapers, The Globe …
The Effect of Different Response Formats on Ratings of Exerciser Stereotypes
In this study we examined the relationships of different response formats, respondent gender, and activity level, to ratings of exercise stereotypes. Participants ( N = 203) completed 8 question sets about 8 exerciser stereotypes. In each questionnaire, 1 question was inadvertently measured twice with different response options of definitely would not like to do this/definitely would like to do this (NL anchor) or definitely false/definitely true…
The influence of student-level normative, control and behavioral beliefs on staying smoke-free
This study, the first to examine the utility of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in explaining intentions and behavior to remain smoke-free, generated smoke-free related beliefs in adolescents and examined their association to the TPB global constructs (i.e., attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC), intention, and behavior) 1 month later in a population of intermediate students (N = 214) in Prince Edward Island, Canada.…

“It's Who I Am … Really!’ The Importance of Integrated Regulation in Exercise Contexts1
The purpose of this series of studies was to evaluate a measure of integrated regulation specific to exercise contexts in line with Self‐Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985, 2002). To address this purpose, three studies were conducted to test select psychometric and theoretical properties of four integrated regulation items created for use within the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ). Confirmatory factor analyses co…

Self-Efficacy and Mood in Cardiac Rehabilitation
The authors proposed to (a) determine the influence of phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on task and barrier efficacy and mood in men and women, (b) determine the influence of task and barrier efficacy on postphase II CR exercise adherence, and (c) examine the bidirectional relationship between self-efficacy and mood. Fifty-seven men and 24 women completed task and barrier efficacy scales and the anxiety, depression, and vigor subscales 3 to 5…
The Motivational Implications of Characteristics of Exercise Bouts
The purpose of this research was to examine the psychological adaptations to two different exercise prescriptions. The dependent variables were three types of self-efficacy: task (for elemental aspects of the behavior); coping (for exercising under challenging circumstances); and scheduling (for arranging one's time commitments to exercise regularly). Participants were randomly assigned to one of two 12-week exercise prescriptions: a higher-inten…

Changing Gratification Orientations
Various studies have been focused on the relative abilities of individuals or groups to delay gratification. Cultural factors have often been found to influence the frequency of the administration of self-rewards. Other factors have been explored as well: Mischel found that Trinidadian delinquents were less likely to delay rewards than nondelinquents. Holmberg attributes the Siriono inability to delay gratification to a chronic shortage of food; …
