: The purposes of this study were to determine the moderation effects of affective attitude on the effects of cognitive attitude and intention on leisure-time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). A total of 2100 undergraduate students completed validated instruments measuring their affective and cognitive attitude, intention to do MVPA, and leisure-time MVPA. Hierarchical regression analyses and Hayes' Process program (model 1 and model 58) were used to address the research questions. The results showed that affective attitude significantly moderated the effects of cognitive attitude on MVPA. It suggested that when affective attitude was negative, the effect of cognitive attitude on MVPA was not significant; when it was positive, the higher the value of affective attitude score, the larger the effects of cognitive attitude on MVPA. The results also showed that affective attitude significantly moderated the effect of intention on MVPA and the indirect effects of cognitive attitude on MVPA through intention. It suggested that the higher the value of the affective attitude, the larger the effects of intention on MVPA and the larger the indirect effects of cognitive attitude on MVPA through intention. :These results indicate that the moderating role of affective attitude in behavior change is important and should be considered for future theory development on the relationship between attitude and behavior. Practically, it suggests that people's affective attitude should be first understood and addressed when designing PA promotion programs.
: 本研究旨在确定情感态度对认知态度和意向与休闲时间中到剧烈体力活动（MVPA）之间关系的调节作用。共有 2100 名大学生完成了测量他们情感和认知态度、MVPA 意向以及休闲时间中 MVPA 的有效工具。采用层次回归分析和 Hayes 的 Process 程序（模型 1 和模型 58）来解决研究问题。结果表明，情感态度显著调节了认知态度对 MVPA 的影响。这表明，当情感态度为负时，认知态度对 MVPA 的影响不显著；当情感态度为正时，情感态度得分越高，认知态度对 MVPA 的影响越大。结果还表明，情感态度显著调节了意向对 MVPA 的影响，以及意向中介的认知态度对 MVPA 的间接影响。这表明，情感态度得分越高，意向对 MVPA 的影响越大，意向中介的认知态度对 MVPA 的间接影响也越大。这些结果表明，情感态度在行为改变中的调节作用很重要，应该在未来的态度与行为关系理论发展中加以考虑。实际上，这表明在设计 PA 促进计划时，首先应该了解和解决人们的情感态度。
