Exploring the effectiveness of yoga interventions in improving the well‐being and productivity of desk‐based workers—A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Extended sitting at work for desk‐based employees is linked to various physical and mental health issues, contributing to work disability, absenteeism, and significant economic and psychosocial burdens. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of yoga interventions on the well‐being and productivity of desk‐based workers. Ten electronic databases and two trial registers were searched from inception until August…
Proscriptive Injunctions Can Elicit Greater Reactance and Lower Legitimacy Perceptions Than Prescriptive Injunctions

Across five experimental studies, our student and general population sampl…

In Experiment 1, the authors manipulated relatedness, autonomy, competence, or gave participants a neutral task, and found…

Two studies considered the role of autonomy in people's motivational response to health‐risk information. In Study 1, ‘non‐smoker’ participants ( N = 59) completed a measure of autonomy and read either health‐risk information about smoking or neutral information. Those who read the health‐risk information reported less autonomous motivation for not smoking than did those who read the neutral information. However, level of autonomy moderated this …
