“…This knowledge may guide fitness instructors in their intervention during training sessions making them aware of the importance of the affect fostered in their fitness classes. Thus, results would provide guidance on how to manipulate physical activity as a means to promote vitality, self-esteem, and life satisfaction, based on the positive and negative affects experienced during exercise (Teixeira & Palmeira, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between regular physical exercise and affective responses to the behaviour, and to investigate the relationship with life satisfaction, self-esteem, and vitality. In total, 264 Portuguese exercisers (female = 157) aged between 18 and 69 years (M = 12.93; SD = 1.49) were considered for analysis in this study. Participants were regular exercisers with a mean year experience of 5.73 (SD = 3.19). Looking at the results, the structural model displayed acceptable fit to the data: χ 2 (314) = 515.904; p < .001; CFI = .928; TLI = .919; RMSEA .049 [.042, .057]. Overall, significant direct effects were found as theoretically proposed, namely: exercise frequency displayed a positive and significant association with positive affect; positive affect was positively associated with life satisfaction, self-esteem, and subjective vitality; and, negative affect was negatively correlated with life satisfaction, self-esteem, and subjective vitality. Exercise frequency had a positive and significant indirect effect on life satisfaction, self-esteem, and subjective vitality via positive affect, but not via negative affect.

“…Experimental and correlational research has shown that, relative to controlling 107 regulations, autonomous regulations are associated with positive emotional experiences 108 during exercise (or at least recalled emotional experiences), such as elevated levels of 109 positive affect (Edmunds et al, 2008), vitality (Gunnell et al, 2014), and enjoyment 110 (Banting, Dimmock, & Grove, 2011;Murcia, de San Román, Galindo, Alonso, & González-Cutre, 2008), complementing lower levels of negative affect (Gunnell et al, 2014;Teixeira & Palmeira, 2016) and social physique anxiety (Thøgersen-Ntoumani & Ntoumanis, 2007).…”

Objective: Self-determination theory describes how an individual's underlying motives determine self-regulatory outcomes. Building on this, we investigated whether different types of motivation predict lapse in exercise behavior, and particularly the emotional responses to lapse in the form of guilt, anxiety, and relief.Method: Study 1 entailed a self-report, cross-sectional investigation using structural equation modeling to test study hypotheses (N = 343, M age: 24.30 years, 215 female). Study 2 employed a 21-day daily diary using multi-level modeling to test study hypotheses (N = 89, M age: 25.90 years, 55 female). Motivation was self-reported at the beginning of the study with all other variables self-reported daily.Results: Autonomous motivation was shown to negatively associate with lapse. When lapse occurred, autonomous motivation was inconsistently associated with the tendency for individuals to feel decreased relief and guilt. In contrast, introjected regulation displayed inconsistent associations with lapse, but increased the likelihood that individuals would experience guilt and anxiety following lapse. External regulation did not reliably predict lapse and emotions across studies. Conclusions:Our findings suggest autonomous motivation may protect against lapses in goal-directed behavior. Controlling forms of motivation, however, may promote less-optimal emotional processes implicated in poor self-regulation.

“…Empirical studies on SDT across a variety of fields and populations demonstrate the superiority of self-determined motivations (SDM) in facilitating goal pursuit intentions and progress (Cerasoli, Nicklin, and Ford 2014; Ciani et al 2011), degree of effort (Gaudreau, Carraro, and Miranda 2012), persistence despite difficulties (Chatzisarantis and Hagger 2009; Hardre and Reeve 2003; Koestner et al 2015), perseverance despite failures (Pelletier et al 2001; Vallerand, Fortier, and Guay 1997), and positive outcomes of goal pursuit, such as improved sense of well-being (Hanssen et al 2014). In contrast, poorer goal pursuit intention and outcomes are exhibited when people are primarily driven by controlled motivations (Jordalen, Lemyre, and Durand-Bush 2016; Teixeira and Palmeira 2016).…”

“…Contextual link-strength variation between perceived PNS, SDM, and behavioral outcomes across multiple life domains (e.g., school, work, leisure) has been demonstrated (Milyavskaya and Koestner 2011; Raufelder et al 2016), along with the implied SDT variation across scenario circumstances (e.g., difficult versus easy tasks) (Gourlan, Trouilloud, and Boiché 2016; Teixeira and Palmeira 2016; Vallerand and Lalande 2011). Many scholars believe that self-determined goal pursuits are generally fostered under moderate goal difficulty levels, whereas significant difficulties would result in reduced motivations (DiBartolo et al 2004; Fenner et al 2013).…”

“…Future studies could examine alternative rationales, such as controlled motivations or direct influences. According to some studies controlled motivations although may not facilitate activity persistence or maximum engagement benefits, but can also enhance activity participation (Jordalen, Lemyre, and Durand-Bush 2016; Teixeira and Palmeira 2016).…”

In response to the pressing need to psychologically empower people with mobility challenges (PwMC) to travel, this study proposes the facilitation of self-determined travel motivations as a promising approach. The variation of self-determined travel facilitation across different challenge levels is examined through a quasi-experimental design and analyzed with a new test of moderated mediation based on Hayes’ (2015a) model. The results indicate that for PwMC with significant travel challenge levels, the tourism industry should prioritize the cultivation of intrinsic travel motivations and perceived travel competence satisfaction over less-autonomous motivation dimensions and satisfaction of alternative psychological needs. Such cross-context exploration extends self-determination theory with a new moderator of challenge levels. The adopted new analysis of moderated mediations is competitive regarding accuracy, efficiency, and robustness for less-controlled, real-world tourism experiments. Results can also guide the customization of motivational programs for different PwMC to maximize the effectiveness of psychological empowerment for travel.
