“…Temporal self-regulation theory (Hall & Fong, 2007) can help explain why many patients with chronic conditions do not achieve optimal medication adherence, as it can account for both non-intentional and intentional non-adherence. This theory attempts to incorporate both automatic (based on past experience or environmental cues) and reflective (based on beliefs or value systems) behavioural processes, alongside consideration of the short-term cost versus long-term gain, in order to explain why individuals do not always behave in a manner which will support their long-term health goals.…”

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to test theory-based predictions of mediators and moderators of treatment effects of a pilot randomised controlled trial which aimed to increase adherence to preventive medication in stroke survivors via addressing both automatic (i.e. habitual responses) and reflective (i.e. beliefs and value systems) aspects of medication-taking behaviour.Methods: Sixty-two stroke survivors were randomly allocated to either an Intervention or Control group. Intervention participants received a brief two-session intervention aimed at increasing adherence via a) helping patients establish better medication-taking routines using implementation intentions plans (automatic) and b) eliciting and modifying any mistaken patient beliefs regarding medication and/or stroke (reflective). The Control group received similar levels of non-medication-related contact. Primary outcome was adherence to antihypertensive medicine measured objectively over 3 months using an electronic pill bottle.Secondary outcome measures included self-reported adherence (including forgetting) and beliefs about medication. Results:Intervention participants had 10% greater adherence on doses taken on schedule (intervention 97%; control 87%, 95% CI (0.2, 16.2), p = .048), as well as significantly greater increases in self-reported adherence and reductions in concerns about medication. Treatment effects were mediated by reductions in both forgetting and concerns about medication; and moderated by the presence of pre-existing medication-taking routines. Conclusions:Addressing both automatic and reflective aspects of behaviour via helping stroke survivors develop planned regular routines for medication-taking and addressing any concerns or misconceptions about their medication can improve adherence and thus potentially patient outcomes.3

“…These results suggest that students with higher self-regulation might achieve better in school and involve less in smoking or alcohol use. Moreover, they suggest also a consistently higher correlation of long-term self-regulation with these variables, what might reinforce the bidimentional model and the determinant role of the time perspective in adolescent development (Hall & Fong, 2007;Miller & Brickman, 2004;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999). These might be exciting results that open new lines of research to deepen our understanding of the role this process plays in resilience (Gardner et al, 2008) and positive youth development (Gestsdottir & Lerner, 2008).…”

“…This is the case, for example, when an adolescent takes a course to achieve career goals, or keeps saving money to buy an expensive object. This crucial aspect of self-regulated behaviours that take place during adolescence has been verified in studies about school performance (Bilde, Vansteenkiste, & Lens, 2011;Husman & Lens, 1999;Miller & Brickman, 2004) or health behaviours (Hall & Fong, 2007;Zimbardo & Boyd, 1999), but has not been consistently represented in instruments. Given the developmental challenges that have not been consistently represented in assessment instruments, there is a need to promote research based on sound knowledge of developmental science (Silbereisen & Lerner, 2007).…”

In this study we present the results of the adaptation of the Adolescent Self-Regulatory Inventory (ASRI) to Portugal. The measure was used with two samples of high school students to which ASRI was administered with Self-Regulation Scale as control measure. In the first study the measures were administered to 823 adolescents and the construct validity analysis was assessed with exploratory factor analysis. The results allow us to find an adequate structure with proper psychometric properties, in their construct and content validity, and reliability. A second study involved 435 adolescents, being tested three models using confirmatory factor analyses. The final version of the ASRI-2 presents an acceptable fit of the data in construct and concurrent validity, given its moderate or high correlation with academic success and substance use. The implications of this new approach to the self-regulation study are discussed and directions to further studies are suggested.

“…None of these approaches highlight the temporal factor, the critical decision making moment related to the practice of health behaviors. While most health behaviors have few immediate benefits and cause discomfort and embarrassment at the time of conduct, maladaptive behaviors tend to have the opposite self-regulation characteristic (30). In other words, pathogenic behaviors tend to have perceived benefits in the short term, whereas the substantial costs tend to be perceived later on.…”

“…There is, therefore, a differential effect of timing of the perceived costs and benefits, in decision-making (30). In a seminal article which presents the Temporal SelfRegulation Theory (2007), Hall and Fong argue that the ability to practice a behavior over time is a combination of complex dynamics between biological, cognitive and social aspects.…”

Despite this evidence, it is known that the younger generations invest much time in sedentary activities such as television viewing, videogames or reading, which potentially can lead to an increase in the prevalence of sedentary behaviors in adulthood. These behaviors have been identified as factors of disturbance in the balance between intake and energy expenditure, contributing to the increasing number of overweight and obese people and, further downstream, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer (among others). The emergence of the Exergames (videogames that involve physical activity, either light, moderate or intense) and games whose narrative alters pathogenic beliefs, contrary to the potential risk effect of gaming, by combining the playful context of videogames with physical activity (mild to intense). This study discusses some salutogenic principles of a new generation of videogames where virtual and real come together, ipromoting salutogenic behavioral patterns, namely through greater energy expenditure. The ideas are based on theoretical and empirical contributions from health psychology, in addition to the potential of computer technology applicable to traditional videogames and Exergames Keywords: Videogames, sedentary behaviors, obesity, physical activity, self-regulation. ResumoA atividade física é uma componente essencial de um estilo de vida promotor de saúde e com potencial de prevenção para diversas doenças crónicas. Apesar desta evidência, é sabido que as gerações mais novas investem muito tempo em atividades sedentárias, como o visionamento de televisão, a prática de videojogos ou a leitura, com potencial aumento de prevalência de comportamentos sedentários na vida adulta. Estes comportamentos têm sido identificados como fatores de perturbação no balanço entre aporte e dispêndio energético, contribuindo para o aumento da prevalência do excesso de peso e da obesidade e, mais a jusante, da prevalência de doenças cardiovascular e oncológica (entre outras). A emergência dos exergames (videojogos que implicam atividade física, de ligeira a intensa) e de jogos cuja narrativa permita a alteração de crenças patogénicas, contraria o efeito potencial de risco dos videojogos, ao combinar o contexto lúdico dos videojogos à atividade física. Com base em contributos teóricos e empíricos da psicologia da saúde, e recorrendo às potencialidades informáticas aplicáveis aos videojogos tradicionais e aos exergames, fundamentam-se neste artigo alguns princípios salutogénicos de uma nova geração de videojogos, em que o virtual e o real se conjugam, na promoção de padrões comportamentais salutogénicos, nomeadamente através de maior gasto energético.
