有大量证据表明人格特质与健康相关行为有关,但有关其潜在机制的证据较少。在这项研究中,我们研究了人格与运动行为自我决定之间的关系。体育中心的用户完成了人格量表(NEO 五因素量表,辅以艾森克人格问卷精神病量表)和运动自我决定量表(运动问卷中的行为调节,测量外在、内射、识别和内在调节形式)。分析仅限于 182 名处于运动参与维持阶段的个体。偏相关分析用于检查每个人格量表与自我决定量表之间的关系,并控制其他人格量表、性别和年龄。神经质与更多的内投调节相关,外向性与更多的识别和内在调节相关,开放性与较少的外部调节相关,责任心与较少的外部调节和更多的内在调节相关,精神病性与更多的外部调节相关。将这些发现与自我决定理论(Deci & Ryan,2000)联系起来,推测外向的个体能够感到自我决定,因为锻炼可以满足对相关性的需求,尽责的个体因为锻炼可以满足对能力的需求。此外,尽责的个人可能有更大的资金来沿着行为调节的连续性前进。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
There is extensive evidence that personality traits are associated with health-related behaviours, but less evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms. In this study, we examined the relationships between personality and self-determination of exercise behaviour. Users of a sports centre completed personality scales (the NEO Five Factor Inventory supplemented with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Psychoticism scale) and exercise self-determination scales (Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire which measures extrinsic, introjected, identified and intrinsic forms of regulation). Analyses were restricted to 182 individuals in the maintenance stage of exercise participation. Partial correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between each personality scale and the self-determination scales, controlling for other personality scales, gender and age. Neuroticism was associated with more introjected regulation, extraversion with more identified and intrinsic regulation, openness with less external regulation, conscientiousness with less external regulation and more intrinsic regulation, and psychoticism with more external regulation. Relating these findings to self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), it is speculated that extraverted individuals are able to feel self-determined because exercise can satisfy the need for relatedness, conscientious individuals because exercise can satisfy the need for competence. Furthermore, conscientious individuals may have greater wherewithal to advance along the continuum of behavioural regulation. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
