  • Have you been exercising lately? Testing the role of past behavior on exercise adherence
    Publication . Rodrigues, Filipe; Teixeira, Diogo Santos; Cid, Luis; Monteiro, Diogo
    The purpose of this study was to test the effect of past behavior on future behavior, considering the motivational sequence proposed by the self-determination theory. The total sample was formed by 293 exercisers aged between 18 and 65 (M=36.57±SD=11.25) years. Participants completed a multi-section survey of motivational, emotional and cognitive-related variables, and exercise adherence was measured using computer records. Past behavior was found to offset the direct effect of intention on future behavior and the indirect effect of all other variables under analysis on intention, acting as a “buffer” variable for experienced gym members.

    Publication . Galinha, Sónia Maria Gomes Alexandre
    The Agenda for 2030 is a plan of action centered on people, the planet, prosperity, peace and partnerships (5P) in sustainable development. The OECD also argues that emotional education should be measured. Under the theme of Education for Development, programs in the integrated approach to children’s rights also aim to promote child participation in community life through the development of competencies and values. Central objective of the study: Promoting protectivefactors(academicsuccess,self-esteem and motivation). Type of exploratory study (n=25 adolescents 15-16 aged) Instrument PEBEPSI-A. Locus in Lisbon. The data obtained in the sessions allow us to observe the increase in the evaluation scores of students from the 1st to the 2nd school period through indicators of participation and effectiveness in solving individual written exercises (academic success) as well as the level of motivation for learning and valuing oneself and its abilities. Studies carried out also point to the need to evaluate young people’s self-esteem and motivation towards academic success. We concluded through this study that the bet on the maximization of protective factors should be part of the interventions in this age group by the value that the positive psychological well-being assumes for the education and healthy life of the subjects.
