Given the mixed findings concerning self-determination theory in explaining adherence to exercise referral schemes (ERS), the present study attempted to examine whether autonomous motivation and psychological need satisfaction could predict ERS adherence. Participants referred to an 8-week ERS completed self-report measures grounded in self-determination theory and basic needs theory at baseline (N = 124), mid-scheme (N = 58), and at the end of the scheme (N = 40). Logistic regressions were used to analyse the data. Autonomous motivation measured at mid-scheme explained between 12 and 16% of the variance in ERS adherence. Autonomy, relatedness and competence measured at mid-scheme explained between 18 and 26% of the variance in ERS adherence. This model also explained between 18 and 25% when measured at the end of the scheme. The study found limited evidence for the role of autonomous motivation in explaining ERS adherence. Stronger support was found for the satisfaction of the three needs for autonomy, relatedness and competence in predicting ERS adherence. Future research should tap into the satisfaction of all three needs collectively to help foster ERS adherence.
鉴于在解释对运动转诊计划（ERS）的依从性方面，关于自我决定理论的研究结果不一，本研究试图检验自主动机和心理需求满足是否能够预测对ERS的依从性。被转诊至一项为期8周的ERS的参与者在基线（N = 124）、计划进行中（N = 58）和计划结束时（N = 40）完成了基于自我决定理论和基本需求理论的自我报告测量。使用逻辑回归分析数据。在计划进行中测量的自主动机解释了ERS依从性中12%至16%的方差。在计划进行中测量的自主性、关联性和胜任感解释了ERS依从性中18%至26%的方差。在计划结束时进行测量时，该模型也解释了18%至25%的方差。该研究发现，自主动机在解释ERS依从性方面的作用证据有限。在预测ERS依从性方面，自主性、关联性和胜任感这三种需求的满足得到了更强的支持。未来的研究应该共同探讨所有这三种需求的满足情况，以帮助促进对ERS的依从性。
