Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to categorize females in a fitness program into high and low seIf-motivated groups according to their score on a Self Motivation Inventory, and to conduct a telephone interview incorporating a decision balance sheet format in an attempt to encourage adherence to the exercise classes. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested in the study: 1. Subjects scoring high on the Self Motivation Inventory would attend more exercise classes than subjects scoring low on the Inventory. 2. Subjects administered the telephone interview decision balance sheet would attend more classes than subjects in a control group. 3. The decision balance sheet treatment would have a greater positive effect on the program attendance of low self-motivated subjects than high self-motivated subjects. Fifty-two female participants in the five week Y.M.C.A Shape-Up Edmonton Fitness Program were dichotomized into high and low self-motivation groups according to their score on the Self Motivation Inventory. Paired subjects (matched according to similar SMI scores) were then randomly assigned to either a treatment condition (telephone interview and decision balance sheet) or control condition (no researcher contact). Prior to the second class in the series, the researcher telephoned all treatment subjects and assisted them to formulate a decision balance sheet concerning the likely gains and losses involved in their commitment to the exercise class. The attendance of subjects over weeks two, three, four and five was the planned dependent variable. However, due to a program postponement at one venue, the attendance of subjects for weeks two, three and four only was utilized for that purpose. The analysis of variance indicated a significant effect on the decision balance sheet treatment, but F values for self-motivation and treatment x self-motivation were non-significant. To examine group trends over time, regression analysis was conducted to calculate and compare group dropout rates for the first four weeks of the program. Results of that analysis indicated that the low self-motivated treatment group evidenced a significantly lower dropout rate than the low seIf-motivated control group, while no difference was observed between the dropout rates characteristics of the high self-motivated groups. The utility of administering the Self Motivation Inventory to locate potential exercise dropouts and then employing a decision balance sheet treatment to that particular group to encourage adherence was therefore given some support by the results of this study.

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
Download or read book Psychology of Physical Activity written by Stuart Biddle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-11 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The positive benefits of physical activity for physical and mental health are now widely acknowledged, yet levels of physical inactivity continue to be a major concern throughout the world. Understanding the psychology of physical activity has therefore become an important issue for scientists, health professionals and policy-makers alike as they address the challenge of behaviour change. Psychology of Physical Activity provides comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of exercise psychology, from mental health, to theories of motivation and adherence, and to the design of successful interventions for increasing participation. Now publishing in a fully revised, updated and expanded fourth edition, Psychology of Physical Activity is still the only textbook to offer a full survey of the evidence base for theory and practice in exercise psychology, and the only textbook that explains how to interpret the quality of the research evidence. As the field continues to grow rapidly, the new edition expands the behavioural science content of numerous important topics, including physical activity and cognitive functioning, automatic and affective frameworks for understanding physical activity involvement, new interventions designed to increase physical activity (including use of new technologies), and sedentary behaviour. A full companion website offers useful features to help students and lecturers get the most out of the book during their course, including multiple-choice revision questions, PowerPoint slides and a test bank of additional learning activities. Psychology of Physical Activity is the most authoritative, engaging and up-to-date book on exercise psychology currently available. It is essential reading for all students working in behavioural medicine, as well as the exercise and health sciences.
