The aim of this study was to examine propositions stemming from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) that contend motivational consequences vary as a function of different regulations in the exercise domain. Participants (N = 276; n = 98 men; n = 178 women) completed inventories assessing exercise regulations, current exercise behavior, and behavioral intentions to continue exercising for the next 4 months and the effort and importance associated with exercise participation. Bivariate analyses indicated autonomous exercise regulations (identified and intrinsic) were the strongest correlates of each motivational consequence across both sexes, and introjected regulation was positively associated with exercise consequences in women. Simultaneous multiple regression analyses indicated that exercise regulations accounted for a sizeable portion of the variance across each motivational consequence in both sexes (R2adj values ranged from .20 to .53). Both regression and structure coefficients revealed that introjected regulation was a stronger motivational force in women than men, and identified regulation was the most important predictor of all three motivational consequences in both sexes. Collectively, these findings suggest that exercise regulations differentially predict motivational consequences across sexes, and future research using this theoretical framework for examining motivational issues pertinent to the exercise domain appears warranted.
本研究的目的是检验源自自我决定理论(SDT)的命题,该理论认为动机结果会因运动领域中不同的调节方式而有所不同。参与者(N = 276;男性n = 98;女性n = 178)完成了评估运动调节、当前运动行为以及未来4个月继续运动的行为意图,以及与运动参与相关的努力和重要性的量表。双变量分析表明,自主运动调节(认同的和内在的)是两性中每种动机结果的最强相关因素,而内摄调节与女性的运动结果呈正相关。同时多元回归分析表明,运动调节在两性的每种动机结果中都占了相当大的方差比例(调整后的R2值范围为0.20至0.53)。回归系数和结构系数均显示,内摄调节在女性中是比男性更强的动机力量,而认同调节是两性中所有三种动机结果的最重要预测因素。总体而言,这些发现表明运动调节对两性动机结果的预测存在差异,因此未来使用这一理论框架来研究与运动领域相关的动机问题似乎是有必要的。
