Document Summary
Wasn"t until the late 1960s and early 1970s that any investigation of issue relevant to the psychology of exercise began to emerge. Since its revival at that time, exercise psychology has had two primary research objectives that relate to exercise and personality: 1. Determination of the psychological antecedents of participation in physical activity. Examples of the first objective would include research that attempts to determine what personality (or individual difference) factors might lead someone to participate in physical activity: 2. Determination of the psychological consequences of participation in physical activity. The second objective would be represented by research that examines how an exercise training program might influence individual difference factors for example, whether regular exercise might lead one to become less emotional or more emotionally stable. Studies have focused on determining whether certain personality attributes are important antecedents to physical activity/exercise participation and whether certain personality attributes are developed as the consequence of such participation.
