目的：在预测健康行为的相关性研究中，情感态度（AA）和预期情感反应（AAR）这两种情感测量方法经常被单独使用，但很少同时使用。本研究评估了他们的个人和组合的影响，预测的意图和行动的一系列健康行为，控制理论的计划行为（TPB）变量。方法：以自我报告的健康行为意向和健康行为表现为主要观察指标。设计：研究1是对已发表的研究（k = 16）进行的荟萃分析，测量相关变量。在研究2中，成年人（N = 426）完成了问卷调查，评估TPB变量，过去的行为，AA，AAR，和随后的行为的一系列健康行为。结果如下：在这两项研究中，AA和AAR只是中度相关，尽管两者与意图和行为都有显着相关性。在控制了TPB变量（研究1和2）和过去的行为（研究2）后，AA是意图和行为的重要预测因子。在研究1中，当控制TPB变量时，AAR是行为的重要预测因子，但不是意图。在研究2中，AAR是一个显着的预测意图时，控制TPB变量加上过去的行为（研究2），但不是一个显着的预测行为时，控制这些变量。几种关系被健康行为类别所调节。结论：AA和AAR都是健康行为的重要预测因子，并且对健康行为的意图和行为具有独立的影响。研究操纵这两个变量，以测试他们的独立和合并的影响行为变化是必要的。
Objective: Two measures of affect-affective attitude (AA) and anticipated affective reaction (AAR)-have frequently been used individually, but rarely simultaneously, in correlational studies predicting health behaviors. This research assessed their individual and combined impact in predicting intention and action for a range of health behaviors, controlling for theory of planned behavior (TPB) variables. Method: Self-reported intentions and performance of health behaviors were the main outcome measures. Design: Study 1 is a meta-analysis of published studies (k = 16) measuring the relevant variables. In Study 2, adults (N = 426) completed questionnaires assessing TPB variables, past behavior, AA, AAR, and subsequent behavior for a range of health behaviors. Results: Across both studies, AA and AAR were only moderately intercorrelated, although both had significant correlations with both intentions and behavior. AA was a significant predictor of intentions and behavior after controlling for TPB variables (Studies 1 and 2) plus past behavior (Study 2). In Study 1, AAR was a significant predictor of behavior, but not intentions, when controlling for TPB variables. In Study 2, AAR was a significant predictor of intentions when controlling for both TPB variables plus past behavior (Study 2), but was not a significant predictor of behavior when controlling for either of these variables. Several relationships were moderated by health-behavior category. Conclusions: Both AA and AAR are important predictors of health behaviors and can have independent effects on intentions and action. Studies manipulating both variables to test their independent and combined effects on behavior change are required.
