Reciprocal relations between autonomous motivation from self-determination theory and social cognition constructs from the theory of planned behavior: A cross-lagged panel design in sport injury prevention

Background Identifying psychological correlates of children’s physical activity intentions may signpost potentially modifiable targets for interventions aimed at promoting physical activity participation. School recess and leisure-time outside of school are appropriate contexts in which such interventions may be delivered. However, few studies have identified correlates of physical activity intentions in these environments. Examining correlates in these contexts may provide formative evidence on which to base interventions to promote physical activity. Purpose The current study adopted an integrated theoretical model to test relations between motivational constructs from self-determination theory, social cognition constructs from the theory of planned behavior, and physical activity intentions in leisure-time and school recess contexts. Methods Finnish school children (N = 845, M age = 13.93, SD = 0.99) from three lower-secondary schools completed self-report measures of perceived autonomy support by peers, autonomous and controlled motivation, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and physical activity intentions for both contexts. Results Well-fitting structural equation models controlling for past behavior indicated that autonomous motivation in the school recess context and attitude in both contexts were the most pervasive predictors of physical activity intentions, and mediated the relationship between perceived autonomy support and intentions. Multi-group analyses supported invariance of the models in both contexts across gender, grades, and school, with few variations. Conclusions The current study supports relations between motivational and social cognition correlates of children’s physical activity intentions in school recess and leisure-time contexts. Future research should extend these findings to the prediction of follow-up participation in physical activity.

Consumer behavior is influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Besides coming from an individual, it is also influenced by social environment. Understanding consumer behavior motivated by psychological needs from consumer-self is necessitated, because motivation coming from within ‘self’ can instigate consumer’s well being. It can be viewed from consumer intention to perform a certain behavior. Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this research attempts to understand the role of self-determination and social cognition in consumer behavior when they buy fashion products from online retailers. This research was conducted on 240 internet users in Indonesia. The data were obtained from questionnaires, analyzed using variance-based SEM, and processed using PLS.Research findings show that TPB variables, such as attitude and behavioral control and self determination motivation as SDT variables influence purchase intention. However, subjective norms do not influence purchase intention on fashion products in online retailers.

Green Purchasing

This study determined the factors that influenced purchase intention of young consumers in the BPO industry specifically on organic local food. The participants were 18-30 years old in selected cities in the National Capital Region (NCR). The study applied the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) as its theoretical framework wherein the researcher extended the TPB by adding (1) value for money and willingness to pay (VM-WP); and (2) consciousness and environmental knowledge (CEK). Purposive sampling method was used in the selection of 5 participants for the in-depth interview which was based on the total sample size of 725 who responded on the online survey using stratified random sampling. Quantitative data were analyzed using PLS-SEM model and Spearman correlation analysis in support of the qualitative data. The findings of the study showed that young consumers in the BPO industry considered purchase intention as an important factor towards green purchasing. The integration of the two theories identified the influence of each factors, the additional variables: VM-WP and CEK has a positive and significant influence towards purchase intention however showed a weak coefficient value. Lastly, young consumers viewed environmental concern, health, and social responsibility as key points why it is essential to practice this mode of purchasing.
