This study conducted among adults with obesity examined the associations between implicit attitudes toward physical activity and sedentary behavior, and physical activity behavior measured 4 months later. At baseline, 76 participants (M = 56; M = 39.1) completed a questionnaire assessing intentions toward physical activity and sedentary behavior and two computerized Single-Category Implicit Association Tests assessing implicit attitudes toward these two behaviors. At follow-up, physical activity was measured with accelerometers. Multiple regression analysis showed that implicit attitudes toward physical activity were positively and significantly associated with physical activity when participants' age, BMI, past physical activity and intentions were controlled for. Implicit attitudes toward sedentary behavior were not associated with physical activity. Adults with obesity who implicitly reported more favorable attitudes toward physical activity at baseline were more likely to present higher physical activity levels at follow-up. Implicit attitudes could be targeted in future research to enhance physical activity.
本研究调查了肥胖成年人的身体活动和久坐行为的内隐态度与 4 个月后身体活动行为之间的关系。在基线时,76 名参与者(M=56;M=39.1)完成了一份评估身体活动和久坐行为意向的问卷,以及两项评估这两种行为内隐态度的计算机单类别内隐联想测试。在随访时,使用加速度计测量身体活动。多元回归分析表明,当控制参与者的年龄、BMI、过去的身体活动和意向时,身体活动的内隐态度与身体活动呈正相关且显著相关。而对久坐行为的内隐态度与身体活动无关。在基线时内隐报告对身体活动更有利态度的肥胖成年人,在随访时更有可能表现出更高的身体活动水平。在未来的研究中,可以针对内隐态度来提高身体活动水平。
