尽管闲暇时间体育锻炼对健康有许多重要的好处，但许多美国人不参加锻炼。非洲裔美国人更是如此。本研究评估了非裔美国人样本中效能认知对休闲时间体力活动（LTPA）的影响。我们的研究结果表明，LTPA是预测在这个非洲裔美国人样本的效能感。进一步的分析解决了预测效能感的重要因素。我们发现，在这个非洲裔美国人的样本中，一般意义上的掌握预测功效。这对非洲裔美国人来说可能尤其重要。此外，分析揭示了令人惊讶的发现有关的特征预测的功效认知。受过高等教育的人最不可能相信预防性健康行为的有效性。
Despite the many important benefits of leisure-time physical exercise on health, many Americans do not engage in exercise. This is more the case for the African-American population. This study assesses the impact of efficacy cognitions on leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in an African-American sample. Our findings show that LTPA is predicted by the sense of efficacy in this African-American sample. Further analyses address significant factors in the prediction of the sense of efficacy. We find that the general sense of mastery predicts efficacy in this African-American sample. This may be especially significant for the African-American population. Also, analysis reveals surprising findings concerning characteristics predictive of efficacy cognitions. The highly educated are least likely to believe in the efficacy of preventive health behavior.
