“…Supporting this, high obligatory exercisers have been found to report higher perceived ability than their low obligatory counterparts (Hall et al, 2004). These findings are likely to be attributable to the fact that at risk and nondependent-symptomatic individuals report engaging in exercise more often than nondependent-asymptomatics (Hausenblas & Symons Downs, 2002a) and, thus, are more likely to feel capable in this domain.…”

“…Introjected and identified regulations emerged as positive predictors of exercise dependence. Whilst these findings suggest that involvement in obligatory exercise involves some degree of self-determination (Hall et al, 2004), the fact that introjected regulation also predicted dependence supports the claims of Morgan (1979). He suggested that a perceived lack of volitional control over exercise may result in the occurrence of physically demanding practices.…”

“…Further, for individuals reporting some symptomatology of exercise Self-determination theory and exercise dependence symptomatology 20 dependence, introjected regulation was found to a marginally significant predictor of strenuous exercise behaviour. Hall et al (2004) suggested that perceptions of obligation to exercise may be a function of reduced self-determination, and thus, an increased sense of introjected regulation, anxiety, pressure and guilt may energise the behaviour of obligatory exercisers. Our finding revealing that the behaviour of symptomatic individuals' is regulated by introjected regulation supports these assertions, that is, for symptomatic individuals exercise behaviour is driven by internal pressures or compulsions, and is less volitional in nature.…”

“…Whilst some authors suggest that exercise dependence is a far more serious condition than many professionals currently recognize (e.g., Yates, 1996), others have criticised such claims and have pointed to an "eagerness to pathologise exercise dependence" (e.g., Bamber, Cockerill & Carroll, 2000;Bamber, Cockerill, Rodgers & Carroll, 2003). Although only a very small percentage of regular exercisers are likely to be affected by exercise dependence (Veale, 1987;Morris, 1989), it has recently been argued that the pattern of exercise behaviour observed among a more substantial number of exercisers may be considered both physically and psychologically debilitating (Hall et al, 2004). Thus, it seems important to examine the predictors of such maladaptive exercise engagement as reflected in reported dependence symptomatology.…”

Examining Exercise Dependence Symptomatology from a Self-determination Perspective

Background Pulling from Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985), this study examined whether individuals classified as ‘nondependent-symptomatic’ and ‘nondependent-asymptomatic’ for exercise dependence differed in terms of reported levels of exercise-related psychological need satisfaction, self-determined versus controlling motivation and exercise behavior. In addition, we examined the type of motivational regulations predicting exercise behavior among these different groups, and their role as mediators between psychological need satisfaction and behavioral outcomes. Methods Participants ( N = 339) completed measures of exercise-specific psychological need satisfaction, motivational regulations, exercise behavior and exercise dependence. Results Nondependent-symptomatic individuals reported higher levels of competence need satisfaction and all forms of motivational regulation, compared to nondependent-asymptomatic individuals. Introjected regulation approached significance as a positive predictor of strenuous exercise behavior for symptomatic individuals. Identified regulation was a positive predictor of strenuous exercise, and completely mediated the relationship between competence need satisfaction and strenuous exercise behavior, for asymptomatic individuals. Conclusions The findings reinforce the applicability of SDT to understanding the quantity and quality of engagement in exercise.

“…In general, exercise dependence is a condition in which the physical practice becomes a compulsive and uncontrollable behavior. Exercise dependence may be either an independent problem (i.e., primary dependence) or be secondary to an eating disorder (i.e., secondary dependence); and it is expressed in the form of physiological and psychological problems such as overuse injury, menstrual irregularity, anxiety, depression, illness, or exercising while injured or ill (de Coverley Veale, 1987;Hall, Kerr, Kozub & Finnie, 2007;Hausenblas & Symons Downs, 2002a;Veale, 1995).…”

Background and aims:The purpose of this study was to verify the factorial structure, internal validity, reliability, and criterion validity of the 21-item Exercise Dependence Scale-Revised (EDS-R) in an Italian sample. Methods: Italian voluntary (N = 519) users of gyms who had a history of regular exercise for over a year completed the EDS-R and measures of exercise frequency. Results and conclusions: Confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated a good fit to the hypothesized 7-factor model, and adequate internal consistency for the scale was evidenced. Criterion validity was evidenced by significant correlations among all the subscale of the EDS and exercise frequency. Finally, individuals at risk for exercise dependence reported more exercise behavior compared to the nondependent-symptomatic and nondependent-asymptomatic groups. These results suggest that the seven subscales of the Italian version of the EDS are measuring the construct of exercise dependence as defined by the DSM-IV criteria for substance dependence and also confirm previous research using the EDS-R in other languages. More research is needed to examine the psychometric properties of the EDS-R in diverse populations with various research designs.

Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise

OverviewPerfect performance, flawlessness, and the perfect body are revered in sport, dance, and exercise. As such, sport, dance, and exercise provide ideal domains in which to study perfectionism. This chapter provides an overview of research that has examined multidimensional perfectionism in these domains. We place particular emphasis on the most recent research in this area and provide suggestions to guide future research. It will be argued that perfectionism is a complex characteristic with particular relevance in sport, dance, and exercise. In addition, in its various guises, perfectionism can be problematic, beneficial, and also ambivalent with regards to motivation, well-being, and performance. To better understand the effects of perfectionism in sport, dance, and exercise, we call for research that adopts longitudinal designs, examines moderating factors, develops and refines measurement tools, and focuses on the influence of perfectionism among exercisers.
