Document Summary

Basic affect: general response of pleasure or displeasure. Distinct affective states: emotions and moods that may include this basic concept (e. g. anxiety, depression) Hedonic theory (kahneman, 1999; young, 1952) provides a framework for understanding the relationship between affective states and pa. Hedonic responses (pleasure vs displeasure) provides an index for determining whether a targeted behavior will be repeated. Intensity believed to affect affective responses which affects adherence; first link needs further research. Study: how an acute response to moderate pa predicted pa participation 6 and 12 months later. Acute bout of pa was a graded test on treadmill, increased incline over time. Used feeling scale to assess degree of pleasure (-5 to +5) Significant relationship between affect of exercise and exercise adherence. The guiding conceptual framework of this research is the dual-mode theory of exercise-induced affective responses. Interceptive cues and cognitive processes both work together to influence exercise affect (feelings of pleasure or displeasure)
