The aim of this meta-meta-analysis was to systematically review randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence examining the effectiveness e- and m-Health interventions designed improve physical activity, sedentary behaviour, healthy eating sleep. Nine electronic databases were searched for eligible studies published from inception 1 June 2023. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses RCTs that evaluate sleep in any adult population included. Forty-seven included, comprising 507 206,873...
This study expanded the State Mindfulness Scale for Physical Activity (SMS-PA) to include acceptance items better represent core elements of mindfulness. Young adults who just participated in physical activity (N = 394) completed a survey assess state mindfulness and theoretically relevant constructs about affect, motivation, body image. An exploratory factor analysis was used reduce item pool on half sample. A 19-item 15-item version SMS-PA2 were further tested through confirmatory second...
This cross-sectional study examined the predictive utility of Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) framework for self-reported and device-measured physical activity behavior among a Hispanic-majority sample adolescents. A total 1849 high school students (Mean age = 16.0 ± 1.22 SD years; 52.3% female; 87.8% Hispanic) enrolled in one district South-central Texas completed survey including instruments to assess M-PAC constructs moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) behavior. subsample (n=435) wore...
Understanding the correlates of physical activity behavior is imperative for informing development interventions to address low rates guideline adherence among adolescents living in United States. This cross-sectional study examined predictive utility Multi-Process Action Control (M-PAC) framework explaining self-reported and device-measured a Hispanic-majority sample adolescents. A total 1849 high school students (mean age = 16.0 ± 1.22 SD years; 52.3% women; 87.8% Hispanic) enrolled one...
Most university students do not engage in enough physical activity (PA) despite the known and mental health benefits. Action control theories such as Multi-Process Control (M-PAC) framework have been proposed to better understand translation of intentions into action by incorporating post-intentional processes. However, explanatory power M-PAC beyond traditional social cognitive constructs has received limited attention. This study examined predictive utility for explaining variance...
Physical activity has shown positive effects for depressive and anxiety disorders, is considered as potentially remediating other mental health problems. Nevertheless, the exact mechanisms of action, symptom-specific effects, individual differences in treatment response to physical are not fully understood. The network approach psychopathology facilitates studying how symptoms disorders interconnected a complex system, rather than arising from single (latent) underlying cause implied...
While the construct of self-deception has received ample theoretical and empirical attention, its virtuous counterpart—self-honesty—has been largely neglected. Yet, as argued here elsewhere, metacognitive practice being honest with oneself may be among most crucial concomitants psychological growth change. Consequently, drawing on theory research from across several disciplines, this paper proposes a novel framework for understanding measuring self-honesty core value. Using data three...
Background: Evidence indicates that physical activity (PA) can be a clinically useful and low-cost option for preventing managing many mental health problems. Further investigation into which specific aspects of are most influenced by PA help to elucidate the differential effects may confer.Purpose: This study used cross-sectional data from Global Mind Project investigate influence regular on overall well-being subcategories across different adult age groups. Methods: Participants completed...
