Maintaining exercise involvement: the role of learned resourcefulness in process of change use

摘要: Abstract Objectives : To investigate whether learned resourcefulness, an individual difference variable, was related to spontaneous process of change use over a 6 month period in sample newly enrolled fitness centre members. Method Participants were 104 adults (56 women, mean age=29 years; 48 men, age=31.5 years) who at baseline the preparation stage according transtheoretical model (TTM). completed paper and pencil questionnaires pertaining change, processes (POC) one or more time points (baseline, 1, 3, and/or months into their exercise involvement). Results Multilevel modelling analyses revealed that most variability POC idiosyncratic explained by differential specific processes. Learned resourcefulness subscales accounted for nomothetic variance than did change. Conclusions can be predicted levels resourcefulness. Persons with stronger self-regulatory capacity POCs across time, implying they ‘try harder’ when attempting maintain involvement. Implications intervention design implementation include seeking increases problem-solving skills facilitate turn promote advancement. Present results highlight need continued examination attributes may contribute successful behaviour
