Men and women choose moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary behaviors with a “hot” mind rather than a “cold” one
The results of our study suggest that enhancing EI ("hot" mind) may be more effective than reasoning skills ("cold" mind) in promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior, particularly in women. These findings highlight EI's potential as a key driver of active lifestyles, while logical reasoning appears to have a lesser impact
