这项研究测试了一种新的基于记忆的实验干预措施，以增加运动活动。本科生完成了一项由两部分组成的在线调查，表面上是关于大学活动选择的。在第一时间，他们完成了调查问卷，其中包括对锻炼相关态度、动机和自我报告行为的评估。接下来，他们描述了一段对积极或消极经历的记忆，这将增加他们锻炼的动机；处于控制条件下的学生没有收到记忆提示。最后，他们对自己未来锻炼的意愿进行了评级。在Time 1之后的8天，学生们接受了Time 2调查，其中包括对他们在前一周自我报告的锻炼的评估。正记忆条件下的学生报告的后续运动水平高于控制条件下的学生；负记忆条件下的学生报告的运动水平处于中等水平。即使在控制了先前的态度、动机和锻炼活动之后，激活积极的动机记忆对学生自我报告的锻炼活动也有显著的影响。
This study tested a novel memory-based experimental intervention to increase exercise activity. Undergraduate students completed a two-part online survey ostensibly regarding college activity choices. At Time 1, they completed questionnaires that included assessments of exercise-related attitudes, motivation and self-reported behaviours. Next, they described a memory of a positive or negative experience that would increase their motivation to exercise; students in a control condition did not receive a memory prompt. Finally, they rated their intentions to exercise in the future. Eight days following Time 1, students received a Time 2 survey that included an assessment of their self-reported exercise during the prior week. Students in the positive memory condition reported higher levels of subsequent exercise than those in the control condition; students in the negative memory condition reported intermediate levels of exercise. Activating a positive motivational memory had a significant effect on students' self-reported exercise activity even after controlling for prior attitudes, motivation and exercise activity.
