Predicting planned physical activity of individuals with arthritis: A self-regulatory perspective
Few individuals with arthritis are sufficiently active. We surveyed a convenience sample of exercisers ( N = 134) to examine the utility of social cognitive theory variables, namely, self-regulatory efficacy, negative outcome expectations, and pain acceptance for predicting planned physical activity according to Weinstein's two prediction suggestions. Logistic regression revealed, after controlling for pain intensity, self-regulatory efficacy, ne…

Varying the cause of a challenge to exercise identity behaviour: Reactions of individuals of differing identity strength
Research shows that people with stronger exercise identity (EXID) exhibit greater negative affect and self-regulatory efficacy (SRE) when behaviour is inconsistent with identity. However, related attributions have not been examined. Using social cognitive and identity theories, we examined causes of failing to exercise. In a two (EXID: stronger, weaker) by two (Cause: personally-controllable, situational) design, participants ( N = 224) were rand…
Physical Activity: An Innovative Context for Intergenerational Programming
There is a sound rationale for developing intergenerational programming that includes physical activity. Innovative interventions, to help older adults increase and maintain healthy levels of physical activity, are required. Further, the physical activity experience itself might be a particularly resonant context for young and old in developing positive schemas about aging and the aging body. We conducted a systematic literature review in order t…
