“…To some extent we can see this as parallel to the findings of nonsignificant relationships between grit-interest, autonomous motivation, and LTPA. A nonsignificant relationship between grit-interest and LTPA is consistent with findings from previous studies (Hein et al., 2019, 2020). This repeated finding allows us to confirm the assumption that grit-interest does not play a significant role in predicting LTPA.…”

“…Recently, other investigators noted the need to take into account the context-specific area associated with measuring grit dimensions (Karlen et al., 2019). An explanation for the absence of any direct effect from grit-interest to LTPA may be that in order to be physically active, it is sufficient to engage usually in only one specific sport that does not then require consistency of interests to try new things (Hein et al., 2020). Consistent with findings by Disabato et al.…”

“…Several cross-sectional studies highlighted grit-effort’s stronger effect on behavioral outcomes in comparison to grit-interest (Credé et al., 2017; Muenks et al., 2017; Steinmayr et al., 2018). Grit-effort was superior to grit-interest in predicting LTPA (Hein et al., 2019, 2020). The more strongly students endorsed incremental theory, the more they were intrinsically motivated to learn through higher grit-effort, and the more strongly they adopted mastery goals.…”

In this study, we tested two alternative models for investigating the ability of dimensions of personal grit (consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) and autonomous motivation to predict the leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) over a one-year period of 256 youth (aged 11-15 years at the beginning of the study). Specifically, we compared a model in which dimensions of grit were assumed to predict LTPA through autonomous motivation with a model in which autonomous motivation was assumed to predict LTPA through dimensions of grit. We tested the two models using variance-based structural equation modelling with Warp PLS v7.0 software. Both models showed a good fit with the data and equally explained 41% of the variance in LTPA over this one-year time period. However, the model based on the total effect of autonomous motivation (β = 0.448, p < 0.001, ES = 0.229) on LTPA through the dimensions of grit was stronger than the model based on the total effect of perseverance of effort (β = 0.356, p < 0.001, ES = 0.126) on LTPA through autonomous motivation, and the total effect of consistency of interest was not significant (β = −0.029, p > 0.05, ES = 0.003). Our findings underscore the relatively greater importance of the interplay between autonomous motivation and perseverance of effort, versus consistency of interest, in predicting LTPA among youth over a one-year period.

“…with responses reported on a six-point scale (one = not at all and six = most days per week). The measure of leisure time self-reported physical activity has been shown to be valid and reliable (Hagger et al, 2003(Hagger et al, , 2005(Hagger et al, , 2009Polet et al, 2020), and has previously been used in an Estonian context (Hein et al, 2020;Tilga et al, 2020).…”

The aim of the current study was to test the long-term predictive validity of the trans-contextual model in accounting for variance in adolescents’ out-of-school physical activity measured by self-report and accelerometer based-devices over a one-year period. Secondary school students ( N = 265) aged 11 to 15 years completed a three-wave survey on two occasions in time, spanning a one-year interval, measuring perceived autonomy support in physical education (PE), peer and parent autonomy support in leisure-time, autonomous and controlled motivation in PE and leisure-time, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, intention, and out-of-school physical activity both by self-report and accelerometer-based devices. A variance-based structural equation model using residualized change scores revealed that perceived autonomy support from PE teachers predicted autonomous motivation in PE, and autonomous motivation in PE predicted autonomous motivation in leisure-time. In addition, peer and parent autonomy support predicted autonomous motivation in leisure-time. Autonomous motivation in leisure-time indirectly predicted physical activity intention mediated by attitude and perceived behavioural control. Intention predicted self-reported physical activity participation, although the effect was in the opposite direction to our prediction, but not physical activity measured by accelerometer-based devices. Results support some tenets of the trans-contextual model over a one-year time period, particularly the determinants of physical activity intentions. The introduction of COVID-19 restrictions may explain the negative relationship between intention and self-reported physical activity. Further longitudinal studies are needed to verify the results of the current study.

“…This includes activities such as going out for meal or going to the cinema, for example. Participation in leisure activities could be a complex procedure for some people because it includes the processes of nding the right activity, planning and implementing appropriate and interesting leisure activities (14).…”

Background Leisure activities can improve the quality of life in the general population. For people with psychosis, negative symptoms are often a barrier to engaging in leisure social activities. However, we do not know if participation in leisure activities is associated with quality of life in this group and whether psychosocial interventions should aim to increase leisure activities amongst people with psychosis. Aim This study aims to investigate whether participation in leisure activities is associated with better quality of life of people with psychosis in England. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 6 NHS community mental health trusts. Adults aged 18–65 (N = 533) with a diagnosis of psychosis-related condition (ICD-10 F20-29) were recruited from outpatient secondary mental health services. Several measures were used: Time Use Survey (TUS), Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results Participation in at least one leisure activity in the last 7 days was reported by the majority of participants (n = 480, 90%). The average number of weekly leisure activities they attended was M = 2.42 (SE = 0.06). Participants’ quality of life increased with the number of leisure activities they attended. After controlling for socio-demographic factors, participation in leisure activities was positively associated with quality of life in people with psychosis (b = 0.083, SE = 0.035, p = 0.019, 95% CI [0.013 to 0.153]). We found a gender difference: For Males, the association between attendance in leisure activities and quality of life is significantly positive; b = 0.132, SE = 0.041, p = 0.002, 95% CI [0.050 to 0.213]. For females: the association between attendance in leisure activities and quality of life was no significant. Conclusion People with psychosis who attend more leisure activities have a higher quality of life. Quality of life was higher amongst males who attended leisure activities. Intervention which helps improve participation in leisure activities may be beneficial for people with psychosis.
