行为改变的动机和认知过程与运动采用的领域进行了调查。从四个工作场所招募了778名男性和女性,他们回答了一份40项的问卷,问卷由基于行为改变跨理论模型结构的陈述组成。主成分分析确定了两个因素——一个是6项组成部分,代表避免运动(缺点),另一个是10项组成部分,代表对运动的积极看法(优点)。方差分析表明,赞成、反对和决策平衡测量(赞成减去反对)与运动采用的阶段显著相关。结果与该模型在戒烟和其他行为改变领域的应用是一致的。讨论了采用运动与戒烟、减肥和酗酒等行为之间的区别。
Motivational and cognitive processes of behavior change with respect to the area of exercise adoption were investigated. A total of 778 men and women, recruited from four worksites, answered a 40-item questionnaire consisting of statements based on constructs from the trans-theoretical model of behavior change. Principal-components analysis identified two factors--one a 6-item component representing avoidance of exercise (Cons), the other a 10-item component representing positive perceptions of exercise (Pros). Analysis of variance showed that the Pros, Cons, and a Decisional Balance measure (Pros minus Cons) were significantly associated with stage of exercise adoption. Results are consistent with applications of the model to smoking cessation and other areas of behavior change. Distinctions between exercise adoption and behaviors such as smoking cessation, weight loss, and alcoholism are discussed.
