“…These indicated appropriate internal consistency for the measures of obsessive passion, relatedness, and dance dependence. The alpha coefficients for autonomy and competence were slightly low but in line with previous reports (e.g., Edmunds et al, 2006); however, harmonious passion demonstrated a concerning level of reliability. Factor analysis indicated two low loading items (10 and 6); removal of these marginally improved model fit and reliability (α = .66) however given the lack of substantial improvement the full item set validated in previous studies was retained.…”

Grounded in self-determination theory 1985), obsessive passion for an activity has been associated with increased risky behaviour (Rip et al., 2006) and rigid persistence (Vallerand et al., 2003), both symptomatic of dependence (DeCoverley Veale, 1987). However, it is unknown whether obsessive passion may predict the development of dependence, and furthermore, theoretically important relationships between basic need satisfaction, passion, exercise dependence, and

“…The latter is consistent with most of the literature which shows introjection to be more highly correlated with identified regulation than with external regulation in other behavioural domains (c.f., (Chemolli & Gagne, 2014) and with previous research using the BREQ-2. (e.g., Edmunds et al, 2006a;Markland, 2009;Markland & Tobin, 2004;Markland & Tobin, 2010;. Taken together, these findings are broadly in harmony with previous studies and support Chemolli and Gagné's contention that evidence for a continuum conception of self-determination is weak and inconsistent with the broader tenets of SDT.…”

“…Researchers have undertaken limited walking specific studies to examine behavioural regulations; however other studies have shown that the hypothesized relationships between behavioural regulations and physical activity are evident for structured and strenuous exercise, but not for lifestyle physical activity behaviours (e.g., walking instead of taking motorized transport, easy walking) or mild exercise in the same sample (Edmunds, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2006a, 2006bSilva et al, 2010;Vlachopoulos, Ntoumanis, & Smith, 2010). As suggested by Silva et al it is possible that engaging in lifestyle behaviours may require less cognitive effort and therefore be regulated by more automatic and habitual processes (Silva et al, 2010).…”

Objective: The motivational processes underpinning walking behaviour are not well understood. This study aimed to develop walking-specific motivation measures drawn from selfdetermination theory (SDT), assess the psychometric properties of the measures, incorporating Baysesian structural equation modelling (BSEM), and examine how these variables relate to walking behaviour.Method: Participants (n=298; mean age=41.69; S.D.=11.06; male =57) completed the Behavioural Regulations in Walking Questionnaire (BRWQ), Psychological Needs Satisfaction for Walking Scale (PNSWS) and the IPAQ-long form, from which measures of workplace, transport and leisure walking were extracted. BSEM was used to test the hypothesized factor structures of the BRWQ and PNSWS. Internal reliabilities were assessed using the composite reliability coefficient.Convergent and discriminant validity were assessed by examining the relationships between the variables in relation to established theory.Results: BSEM showed excellent fit for the BRWQ and PNSWS measurement models. The scales demonstrated good internal consistency. The associations within and between the BRWQ and PNSWS subscales were generally as expected. The relationship between the BRWQ subscales and walking for transport and leisure were also generally as expected, but there were no significant relationships for walking at work. Two PNSWS subscales were significantly related to walking for leisure, but no significant relationships were evident for walking for transport and at work. Conclusions:There is preliminary evidence for the acceptable psychometric properties of instruments to measure SDT constructs in walking, and the findings highlight the advantages of BSEM. The findings also suggest that the motivational processes underpinning walking may vary by type of walking. SELF-DETERMINATION THEORY AND WALKING 3

“…An alternative perspective relating to the positive associations between body-related guilt and introjected and identified regulations is that guilt may foster maladaptive forms of physical activity. Previous research investigating the motivating forces behind maladaptive forms of exercise such as dependence, has reported introjection as the strongest predictor of maladaptive activity (Edmunds, Ntoumanis, & Duda, 2006). This is the first study to extend self-objectification framework to examine the relations among body-related guilt, physical activity motivation, and behavior.…”

Body-Related Self-Conscious Emotions Relate to Physical Activity Motivation and Behavior in Men

et al. 2014

The aim of this study was to examine the associations between the body-related self-conscious emotions of shame, guilt, and pride and physical activity motivation and behavior among adult males. Specifically, motivation regulations (external, introjected, indentified, intrinsic) were examined as possible mediators between each of the body-related self-conscious emotions and physical activity behavior. A cross-sectional study was conducted with adult men (N = 152; M age = 23.72, SD = 10.92 years). Participants completed a questionnaire assessing body-related shame, guilt, authentic pride, hubristic pride, motivational regulations, and leisure-time physical activity. In separate multiple mediation models, body-related shame was positively associated with external and introjected regulations and negatively correlated with intrinsic regulation. Guilt was positively linked to external, introjected, and identified regulations. Authentic pride was negatively related to external regulation and positively correlated with both identified and intrinsic regulations and directly associated with physical activity behavior. Hubristic pride was positively associated with intrinsic regulation. Overall, there were both direct and indirect effects via motivation regulations between body-related self-conscious emotions and physical activity (R 2 shame = .15, guilt = .16, authentic pride = .18, hubristic pride = .16). These findings highlight the importance of targeting and understanding self-conscious emotions contextualized to the body and links to motivation and positive health behavior among men.
