两项研究表明，主观预期效用（SEU）理论可以预测人们对举重锻炼计划的兴趣，但不能预测其坚持程度。研究还表明，态度与某些人的依从性有关。具体来说，对不举重的态度与受试者进行举重的天数有关。此外，在研究1中，经验丰富的受试者比没有经验的受试者对举重持更积极的态度，对不举重的态度更消极，并且两组在许多基本信念上存在差异。同样，在研究 2 中，经验丰富的受试者对举重持更积极的态度，并且在许多基本信念上与缺乏经验的受试者不同。
这些结果对几个问题的影响进行了讨论：SEU 理论在练习领域的有用性；在尝试预测锻炼或任何其他行为时，考虑对替代行动方案（包括不行动）的态度的重要性；需要区分运动采用（发起）和维持（坚持）；以及 Beach（1982，1985）区分决策制定和决策执行的重要性。
Two studies demonstrated that subjective expected utility (SEU) theory predicted interest in, but not adherence to, a weightlifting exercise program. The studies also showed that attitudes were related to adherence for certain individuals. Specifically, attitudes toward not weightlifting were related to the number of days experienced subjects weightlifted. In addition, in Study 1, experienced subjects had more positive attitudes toward weightlifting and more negative attitudes toward not weightlifting than did inexperienced subjects, and the two groups differed on a number of underlying beliefs. Similarly, in Study 2, experienced subjects had more positive attitudes toward weightlifting and differed from inexperienced subjects on a number of underlying beliefs.
These results are discussed in terms of their implications for several issues: the usefulness of SEU theory in the exercise domain; the importance of considering attitudes toward alternative courses of action (including inaction) when attempting to predict exercis–or any other–behavior; the need to distinguish between exercise adoption (initiation) and maintenance (adherence); and the importance of Beach's (1982, 1985) distinction between deasion making and decision implementation.
