This study aimed to determine the effects of action planning, risk perception, and message elaboration on the creation and quality of physical activity action plans. Risk perception was hypothesized as a potential moderator and elaboration as a potential mediator of the message framing-action planning relationship.
Inactive adults (N = 180; 44% women; M = 29.7, SD = 9.92) were randomized to one of two framed action planning messages and responded to an online questionnaire pre- and post-message. Participants were asked about two types of risk perception towards action planning: emotional and plan creation risk perception. Post-message participants were asked about their elaboration regarding the message and presented with the opportunity to create action plans, which were scored for quality. A moderation model and a moderated mediation model were tested.
Emotional risk perception moderated the message framing-action plan creation relationship. Individuals with increased emotional risk perception, as opposed to increased plan creation risk perception, were more likely to create an action plan when given a gain-framed message, as opposed to a loss-framed message. The moderated mediation model was not significant, but message elaboration predicted action plan creation. Individuals with greater message elaboration were more likely to create an action plan, regardless of the message frame.
Gain-framed messages may be more effective than loss-framed messages at promoting action plan creation in individuals with greater emotional risk perception. One's elaboration of an action planning message may increase their likelihood of creating a physical activity action plan.
本研究旨在确定行动规划、风险感知和信息详述对身体活动行动计划的制定及质量的影响。风险感知被假设为一个潜在的调节变量，而详述被假设为信息框架与行动规划关系的一个潜在中介变量。
将不活跃的成年人（N = 180；44%为女性；M = 29.7，标准差 = 9.92）随机分为两组，分别接收两种框架的行动规划信息，并在接收信息前后回复一份在线问卷。参与者被问及对行动规划的两种风险感知类型：情绪风险感知和规划制定风险感知。接收信息后，参与者被问及对信息的详述情况，并被给予制定行动计划的机会，所制定的计划将根据质量进行评分。对一个调节模型和一个有调节的中介模型进行了检验。
情绪风险感知调节了信息框架与行动计划制定之间的关系。与规划制定风险感知增加的个体相比，情绪风险感知增加的个体在收到收益框架信息而非损失框架信息时，更有可能制定行动计划。有调节的中介模型不显著，但信息详述可预测行动计划的制定。无论信息框架如何，信息详述较多的个体更有可能制定行动计划。
在促进情绪风险感知较高的个体制定行动计划方面，收益框架信息可能比损失框架信息更有效。个体对行动规划信息的详述可能会增加其制定身体活动行动计划的可能性。
