Parents are at risk for inactivity; however, research into understanding parental physical activity (PA) is scarce. We integrated self-determined motivation, planning, and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to better understand parental PA. Parents (252 mothers, 206 fathers) completed a main questionnaire assessing measures underpinning these constructs and a 1-week follow-up of PA behavior to examine whether self-determined motivation indirectly influenced intention via the TPB variables (i.e., attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control) and intention indirectly influenced behavior via planning. We found self-determined motivation on intention was fully mediated by the TPB variables and intention on behavior was partially mediated by the planning variables. In addition, slight differences in the model's paths between the sexes were revealed. The results illustrate the range of important determinants of parental PA and provide support for the integrated model in explaining PA decision making as well as the importance of examining sex differences.
父母有不活跃的风险;然而,对理解父母体育活动(PA)的研究却很少。我们整合了自我决定动机、计划和计划行为理论(TPB),以更好地理解父母的 PA。父母(252 名母亲,206 名父亲)完成了一份主要问卷,评估了这些结构基础的措施,以及为期一周的 PA 行为随访,以检验自我决定动机是否通过 TPB 变量(即态度、主观规范和感知行为控制)间接影响意图,以及意图是否通过计划间接影响行为。我们发现,自我决定动机对意图的影响完全由 TPB 变量介导,意图对行为的影响部分由计划变量介导。此外,还揭示了该模型在性别之间路径的细微差异。研究结果说明了父母 PA 的一系列重要决定因素,并为整合模型解释 PA 决策以及检验性别差异的重要性提供了支持。
