Cognitive evaluations of water, urges to drink, and fluid intake in patients with kidney stones
Exploring novel determinants of exercise behavior
Many middle-aged to older adults do not engage in regular exercise at all, despite its importance for healthy aging. Extensive research grounded in behavioral and social science theories has identified numerous determinants of exercise. However, few studies used an exposure-wide approach, a data-driven exploratory method particularly useful for identifying novel determinants. Methods: We used data from 13 771 participants in the Health and Retire…
Lifestyle Behaviors and Health-Related Quality of Life in Cancer Survivors
Healthy lifestyle behaviors can improve health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in cancer survivors; but the combination of behaviors most important for HRQOL is not known. This study investigated the patterns of lifestyle behaviors among cancer survivors and differences in HRQOL between behavioral classes. Cancer survivors ( n = 2,463) were invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey. Participants ( N = 591) were predominately female (63%)…
Broad versus narrow bandwidth measures of experienced automaticity for physical activity
Objective: Physical activity is important for health, yet most young adults are insufficiently active. Physical activity is regulated in part, by habit, typically operationalised as automaticity. Little is known about the characteristics of automaticity, or whether broad bandwidth unidimensional measures of automaticity for physical activity are superior to narrower bandwidth multi- dimensional measures. Design: This secondary analysis (N = 238) …
Affective judgments, environmental determinants, and physical activity in emerging and young adults
OBJECTIVE: Affective judgements represent a promising target for promoting physical activity among adults. This study examined whether relations between affective judgments and physical activity are robust after adjusting for social, built, and natural environmental determinants. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study with 173 adults (70.1% female) aged 18-29 years who self-reported less than 90 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activit…
Small Data Approaches to Link Faster Time Scale Engagement Dynamics with Slower Time Scale Outcomes in Biobehavioral Interventions
Golfers’ Interest in Multilevel Sun-Protection Strategies
Active adults accumulate more ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and are at greater risk of skin cancer than inactive adults. Golf is a popular sport that increases UV exposure because it is played outdoors in daylight. This study evaluated adult golfers' interest in multilevel sun-protection strategies and characterized differences in interest as a function of golfer characteristics. Adult golfers ( N = 347) completed a web survey to rate their…
A systematic review of physical activity and quality of life and well-being
Maintaining or improving quality of life (QoL) and well-being is a universal goal across the lifespan. Being physically active has been suggested as one way to enhance QoL and well-being. In this systematic review, conducted in part for the 2018 U.S. Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Scientific Advisory Committee Report, we examined the relationship between physical activity (PA) and QoL and well-being experienc…
Physical Activity, Cognition, and Brain Outcomes
Age differences in emotion regulation strategy use, variability, and flexibility
Life span developmental theories suggest that as individuals age, they accumulate knowledge about how to deploy emotion regulation (ER) strategies effectively and learn how to match their ER strategy use with changes in situational demands. Using an event-contingent experience sampling design wherein 150 adults Age 18 to 89 years reported on 64,213 social interactions (M = 427.41, SD = 145.66) during 9 weeks of daily life, this study examines (a)…
The Role of General and Daily Control Beliefs for Affective Stressor-Reactivity Across Adulthood and Old Age
Mixed evidence of age differences across general and daily control beliefs highlights how within-person processes may differentially contribute to well-being as individuals accommodate age-related strengths and vulnerabilities
Modeling Intraindividual Dynamics Using Stochastic Differential Equations
The results highlight the utility of SDE models for studying affect dynamics and informing theoretical predictions about how intraindividual dynamics change over the life course
Behavioral landscapes and earth mover’s distance
How the social ecology and social situation shape individuals’ affect valence and arousal
Many theories highlight the role social contexts play in shaping affective experience. However, little is known about how individuals' social environments influence core affect on short time-scales (e.g., hours). Using experience sampling data from the iSAHIB, wherein 150 adults aged 18 to 89 years reported on 64,213 social interactions (average 6.92 per day, SD = 2.85) across 9 weeks of daily life, we examined how 4 features of individuals' soci…
Daily Life Satisfaction in Older Adults as a Function of (In)Activity
Results indicated that daily deviations in objectively measured sedentary behavior and self-reported physical activity have implications for older adults' well-being. Interventions designed to enhance well-being and quality of life in older adults should consider targeting daily changes in total sedentary behavior and daily changes in the volume or frequency of physical activity
Daily physical activity and life satisfaction across adulthood
Physical activity is considered a valuable tool for enhancing life satisfaction. However, the processes linking these constructs likely differ across the adult life span. In older adults the association between physical activity and life satisfaction appears to involve usual levels of physical activity (i.e., a between-person association driven by differences between more and less active people). In younger adults the association has consistently…
Bursts of Self-Conscious Emotions in the Daily Lives of Emerging Adults
Self-conscious emotions play a role in regulating daily achievement strivings, social behavior, and health, but little is known about the processes underlying their daily manifestation. Emerging adults (n = 182) completed daily diaries for eight days and multilevel models were estimated to evaluate whether, how much, and why their emotions varied from day-to-day. Within-person variation in authentic pride was normally-distributed across people an…
Weekly Fluctuations in College Student Leisure Activities and Well-Being
College students’ well-being is declining. Differences in students’ leisure activity participation have been linked to their psychological well-being. This study examined how weekly fluctuations in leisure allocation (i.e., frequency of volunteer, cognitive, social, club, religious, and physical activities) related to well-being in college students. Students completed weekly leisure time allocation assessments. Generalized linear multilevel analy…
Interpersonal dependency and emotion in every day life
Within-person covariation of agentic and communal perceptions
Interpersonal Impact Messages Associated With Different Forms of Achievement Motivation
Two studies evaluated relations between different forms of achievement motivation and transactional interpersonal impact messages during a dyadic puzzle-solving task. In Study 1,400 college students received no formal competence feedback during the task. In Study 2, competence feedback was manipulated for 600 college students and used to create high-, low-, and mixed-status dyads. Expectancies of success had robust actor and partner effects on su…

The Expression of Achievement Motives in Interpersonal Problems
Achievement motivation influences self‐regulatory strategies, affective processes, and achievement outcomes, but little is known about how individual differences in achievement motivation influence interpersonal behavior. Different forms of achievement motivation are likely to influence interpersonal behavior because achievement motives are grounded in social emotions. Two studies were conducted to examine relations between achievement motives an…
The Pathoplastic Relationship Between Interpersonal Problems and Fear of Failure
This study advances the understanding of fear of failure (FF), a dispositional avoidance‐oriented achievement motive, by employing interpersonal classification techniques to groups of individuals who fear failure in order to examine the pathoplastic relations between FF and interpersonal problems. Shame‐based FF is thought to be related to the self‐regulation strategies of appeasement and aggression, and these strategies are hypothesized to be as…

Personal and participatory socializers of the perceived legitimacy of aggressive behavior in sport
Recent international attention from the media and professional organizations has focused increasingly on violent incidents in sport. The present study developed and used the Sport Behavior Inventory (SBI) to examine personal and participatory variables that influence the socialization of the perceived legitimacy of aggressive sport behavior in children and adolescents ages 8–19 enrolled in public schools. In phase I of this study, the psychometri…

Multidimensional Fear of Failure Measurement
The Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI) is a multidimensional measure of cognitive-motivational-relational appraisals associated with fear of failure (FF). College students ( N = 544) completed the PFAI and a variety of other measures. Calibration sample analyses reduced the PFAI to 25 items measuring five appraisals in a higher-order factor structure that demonstrated tight cross-validity in the second half of the sample. The five ave…
Factorial and Criterion Validity of Scores of a Measure of Belonging in Youth Development Programs
Many youth development programs, including the Boys & Girls Clubs ofAmerica, feature belonging as a central piece in their theories ofchange. From a psychometric perspective, little is known about measures ofbelonging. This research examined the factorial validity, internal consistency, and predictive validity of scores from one measure of belonging to an after-school youth development program. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded a five-item mea…
Representational Models Associated With Fear of Failure in Adolescents and Young Adults
As a descriptive trait, fear of failure (FF) has been associated with serious problems in achievement and health. Psychodynamic theories emphasizing interpersonal processes and early object relations are often used to explain the etiology of FF despite little comprehensive research on such theories in the FF domain. The present study employed the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior to study associations between FF and representational models o…
Consistency of Fear of Failure Score Meanings Among 8- to 18-Year-Old Female Athletes
Fear of failure (FF) energizes individuals to avoid failure because of the learned aversive consequences of failing (e.g., shame). Although FF is socialized in childhood, little is known about the meaning of scores from FF measures used with children and adolescents. This study addresses that void by establishing a preliminary nomological network for FF scores from a younger population than has previously been studied. Girls ( N = 97) aged 8 to 1…
Coaching Behaviors Associated With Changes in Fear of Failure
Cognitive‐interpersonal and motivational mechanisms may regulate relations between youth perceptions of interpersonal aspects of the social ecology and their fear‐of‐failure (FF) levels. Youth ( N =165) registered for a summer swim league rated their fear of failure at the beginning, middle, and end of the season. Extensive model comparisons indicated that youths' end‐of‐season ratings of coach behaviors could be reduced to three factors (affilia…
