“…A large body of evidence shows that exercise can produce benefits on mood and stress [39][40][41]. We did not measure what specific activities participants were doing when they reported leisure, but research suggests that some of the participants' reported leisure activities may have been exercisedbased [13].…”

“…When individuals engage in exercise, compared to when they do not, their heart rate increases [15,16]; exercise has also shown positive effects on improving positive mood, decreasing negative mood, and lowering stress [39][40][41]. For example, negative mood decreased and vigor increased after an aerobic exercise dance class compared to 15 min before the exercise [41].…”

“…8,9 In this literature, experimental designs and cross sectional approaches have been prevalent. 10 For instance, in a repeated-measures laboratory study with female runners, Guérin and Fortier found an increase in positive affect after 30-minutes of running versus a control task. 11 However, it is difficult to examine physical activity and affect fluctuations over time when participants are confined to a laboratory and/or have to recall their affective states over several hours, days, or weeks.…”

An experience sampling study of physical activity and positive affect: investigating the role of situational motivation and perceived intensity across time

The nature of the association between physical activity and positive affect is complex, prompting experts to recommend continued examination of moderating variables. The main purpose of this 2-week field study was to examine the influence of situational motivational regulations from self-determination theory (SDT) on changes in positive affect from pre-to post-to 3-hours post-physical activity. Another purpose was to clarify the relationship between physical activity intensity [i.e., Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE)] and positive affect at the stated time points. This study employed an experience sampling design using electronic questionnaires. Sixty-six healthy and active, multiplerole women provided recurrent assessments of their physical activity, situational motivation, and positive affect in their everyday lives over a 14-day period. Specifically, measures were obtained at the three time points of interest (i.e., pre-, post-, 3-hours post-physical activity). The data were analyzed using multilevel modeling. Results showed that intrinsic motivation was related to post-physical activity positive affect while the influence of identified regulation appeared 3-hours post-physical activity. In addition, RPE, which was significantly predicted by levels of introjection, was more strongly associated with an increase in positive affect postphysical activity than three hours later. The theoretical implications of these findings vis-à vis SDT, namely in regards to a viable motivational sequence predicting the influence of physical activity on affective states, are discussed. The findings regarding the differential influences of RPE and motivational regulations carries applications for facilitating women's well-being.

“…Via electronic questionnaires, participants provided a description of their activity after each moderate-to-vigorous session (event) and they rated their overall daily affect every night before going to sleep (interval). An assessment at the end of the day offers a good evaluative judgment of average mood over the course of one day and it has been employed in previous passion studies (Giacobbi et al 2005;Mageau and Vallerand 2007).…”

Background: Physical activity has been linked to well-being among women. One psychological perspective that can offer insights regarding this relationship is the Dualistic Model of Passion. The model posits that individuals can internalize a valued activity in an autonomous fashion, facilitating a harmonious passion, or in a controlled way, resulting in an obsessive passion. The overall purpose of this experience sampling study with physically active working mothers was to examine the influence of passion towards physical activity on daily positive and negative affect as well as more generally in terms of vitality. Method: Sixty-three healthy and active middle-aged women participated in this study. The women attended a baseline session to complete a series of self-report questionnaires including The Passion Scale. Then, using the experience sampling method, the women responded to electronic questionnaires pertaining to their daily affect and physical activity engagement over a 14-day period. Subsequently they attended a second session during which levels of vitality were assessed. The data were analyzed using Hierarchical Linear Modeling and Analyses of Covariance. Results: Sixty of the participants (95%) were passionate towards physical activity. Daily positive affect was higher and negative affect lower on days when the women engaged in their passion (i.e., physical activity). On these active days, associations between overall positive and negative affect and levels of harmonious or obsessive passion were in the expected directions, albeit not significant. Levels of harmonious and obsessive passion moderated the relationship between activity engagement and positive affect such that obsessively passionate women felt significantly worse on days when they were not active. Vitality was negatively associated with obsessive passion and positively with harmonious passion. Conclusions: The findings were consistent with the Dualistic Model of Passion and they suggest avenues of future enquiry. In considering physical activity as a strategy to optimize women's well-being, the internalization process of this activity (autonomous versus controlled) should be considered. Potential application of these results should involve facilitating more harmonious passions towards physical activity by emphasizing flexible and volitional participation that is well balanced among other activities.
