The present research focused upon the power of different messages to increase self-reported physical activity (PA). Five hundered and ninety six participants were randomised to one of five conditions that varied in the content of message: short-term affective, short-term cognitive, long-term affective, long-term cognitive and a no message control. PA was measured at baseline and follow-up (seven days later) was done using the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire over the subsequent seven day period. The affective short-term message (ASM) was shown to be equally effective at increasing self-reported PA as a cognitive long-term message. Furthermore, when controlling for baseline activity levels, the ASM emerged as being the message that produced the highest levels of self-reported PA at follow-up. The findings point to the value of distinguishing between health messages in terms of the focus on affective and cognitive outcomes and the temporal nature of the outcomes (short-term or long-term).
本研究旨在探讨不同信息对提高自我报告的身体活动（PA）的作用。596 名参与者被随机分配到五个条件之一，这些条件在信息内容上有所不同：短期情感、短期认知、长期情感、长期认知和无信息对照组。在基线时测量 PA，在随后的七天内使用 Godin 休闲时间运动问卷进行随访。结果表明，短期情感信息（ASM）在增加自我报告的 PA 方面与长期认知信息同样有效。此外，当控制基线活动水平时，ASM 成为在随访时产生自我报告的 PA 最高水平的信息。这些发现表明，根据情感和认知结果以及结果的时间性质（短期或长期）区分健康信息是有价值的。
