| dc.description.abstract | In this study, behavioural belief structures were evaluated in the physical activity domain along four dimensions: positive/negative, affective/instrumental, distal/proximal and specific motive. Participants (n = 200) completed 19 behavioural belief items and a measure of intention. These behavioural beliefs were subsequently classified on each dimension by two independent judges. Results using structural equation modelling showed that positive/negative, affective/instrumental, and proximal/distal dimensions each improved fit over a single behavioural belief construct. Division by affective/instrumental and positive/negative yielded the best fit compared to single dimensions but no division resulted in adequate model fit. Indeed, fit continued to improve as each dimension was added, but this specificity came with incumbent multicollinearity when trying to use the constructs for prediction purposes. | en_US |
