Outcomes of the linking exercise for advancing daily stress (Leads) management and resilience randomized pilot trial in African American adolescents and families
BACKGROUND: Previous research has examined the deleterious impact of racial stress on African Americans' mental and physical health; however, few interventions have focused on utilizing culturally salient protective factors to buffer the effect of racial stress on physical health outcomes. PURPOSE: This pilot feasibility trial assessed the preliminary impact of Linking Exercise for Advancing Daily Stress (LEADS) Management and Resilience, a cultu…
Evaluating the role of interpersonal support on daily physical activity across systems, contexts, and time among African American women
BACKGROUND: Extensive research demonstrates the importance of the social environment for physical activity (PA) among African American (AA) women. Such studies rarely evaluate the simultaneous impact of interpersonal factors across multiple systems or fluctuations across time. PURPOSE: This study used Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) within a group-based PA intervention to evaluate how interpersonal factors impacted daily PA. METHODS: Data w…

Evaluating Experiences of Stress and Coping Among African American Women During the Covid-19 Pandemic to Inform Future Interventions
BACKGROUND: African American (AA) women experience disproportionate levels of chronic disease, which is theorized to be driven by greater exposure to acute and chronic stress. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has further exacerbated existing health disparities among AA communities. Understanding how AA women have experienced and responded to stress during the pandemic may help to inform how future interventions can better address physical and …
When Do Intended Performance Standards Predict Goal-Related Affect? A Motivated-Reasoning Perspective
This research used intensive longitudinal methods to examine a motivated cognition perspective on intention–behavior discrepancies. We propose that under conditions of high performance, people are more inclined to evaluate their efforts in light of their intentions; thus, discrepancies between intentions and performance should have stronger impacts on goal-related affect under conditions of high (vs. low) performance. Secondary data analyses were…
