Applying socioemotional selectivity theory to the domain of health, we examined the interplay of social-cognitive predictors of physical exercise in two groups of people who perceived their remaining lifetime as either expansive or limited (based on subjective longevity ratings). Individuals (N = 370) who were prescribed physical exercise were assessed at discharge from orthopedic rehabilitation as well as 6 and 12 months later. Multigroup structural equation modeling showed differences in latent means, interrelations of predictors, and amount of explained variance. Individuals who perceived their time as limited reported a less favorable profile on social-cognitive variables and less exercise goal attainment. We give first insights on how health self-regulation differs in these groups, and we discuss avenues for intervention based on socioemotional selectivity theory. In contrast to chronological age, subjective life expectancy can be targeted by intervention.
将社会情感选择性理论应用于健康领域，我们研究了两组认为自己剩余寿命要么漫长要么有限（基于主观长寿评分）的人群中体育锻炼的社会认知预测因素之间的相互作用。对370名被医嘱进行体育锻炼的个体在骨科康复出院时以及6个月和12个月后进行了评估。多组结构方程模型显示了潜在均值、预测因素之间的相互关系以及解释方差量的差异。认为自己时间有限的个体在社会认知变量方面表现出不太有利的特征，且运动目标达成较少。我们首次深入了解了这些群体中健康自我调节的差异，并讨论了基于社会情感选择性理论的干预途径。与实际年龄不同，主观预期寿命可以通过干预来改变。
