신체활동을 예측하는데 영향을 주는 심리적 변인들의 통합모형

Abstract

The present study aims to compare the theory of planned behavior with a hypothetical integration model in predicting adults` physical activities and prove the effectiveness of the integration model. A total of 377 adults (male: 271 persons (71.9%); female: 106 persons (28.1%); and average age=36.50 years old) voluntarily participated. Questionnaires on attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention, stage of change and physical activity were used. There was a statistically significant difference in the average of all the variables at the stage of change in exercise behaviors in this study. Of the independent variables of two models, perceived behavioral control showed the highest significant effect on the mediating variables of intention (.27) or the stage of change (.38). In addition, as a result of a path analysis, intent, the mediating variable of the theory of planned behavior showed an effect of .30 on physical activit y while the stage of change in the hypothetical integration model showed an effect of .38 on it. These findings partially proved the effectiveness of the hypothetical integration model through this study, and continuous s tudies on the integration model will be neces - sary in the future. Lastly, this study suggests the importance of an integration model in psychological studies to draw out adults` exercise behaviors.
