It has been determined that exercise identity is a key component of the self-concept and is a strong determinant of exercise behaviors. The purpose of the present study was to examine exercise identity's relationship with three key self-presentational variables: self-presentational efficacy, social physique anxiety, and impression motivation. We looked at how exercise identity contributed uniquely to predicting exercise behavior over and above these self-presentational concerns for both males 10 (n = 140) and females (n = 234) recruited from two university communities. Participant's age ranged from 18-68 years, the majority identified as students, and as Caucasian. The analyses demonstrated that exercise identity was positively correlated with self-presentational efficacy and unrelated to social physique anxiety in both genders. Further analyses revealed that exercise identity contributes a significant amount of variance toward exercise behavior over and above what is accounted for by self-presentational efficacy, social physique anxiety, and impression motivation. Lastly, exercise identity did not moderate the social physique anxiety-exercise relationship in either gender. These findings advance our knowledge of exercise identity and its relationship with various important constructs has been determined that exercise identity is a key component of the self-concept and is a strong determinant of exercise behaviors.
已经确定，运动身份是自我概念的一个关键组成部分，也是运动行为的一个强有力的决定因素。本研究的目的是检验运动身份与三个关键的自我呈现变量之间的关系：自我呈现效能感、社交身体焦虑和印象动机。我们研究了运动身份如何在超越这些自我呈现关注点的情况下，对男性（来自两个大学社区的 140 名参与者）和女性（234 名参与者）的运动行为做出独特的预测。参与者的年龄从 18 岁到 68 岁不等，大多数是学生，是白种人。分析表明，运动身份与自我呈现效能感呈正相关，与两性的社交身体焦虑无关。进一步的分析表明，运动身份对运动行为的变异量有显著贡献，超过了自我呈现效能感、社交身体焦虑和印象动机的解释。最后，运动身份并没有调节两性中社交身体焦虑与运动行为之间的关系。这些发现推进了我们对运动身份的认识，并且已经确定运动身份是自我概念的一个关键组成部分，也是运动行为的一个强有力的决定因素。
