Cognitive reappraisal and affective response to physical activity: associations with physical activity behavior.

Objective: Cognitive reappraisal (CR), as an adaptive emotion regulation strategy, may play a role in transforming affect in a positive direction during or after exercise, thereby supporting physical activity (PA) adherence. The present study aimed to test the associations among PA, CR frequency, and affective response to PA, and further to examine the role of CR on PA behavior through affective response.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 105 adults, 74 of whom were women, with a mean age of 25.

The contribution and interplay of implicit and explicit processes on physical activity behavior: empirical testing of the physical activity adoption and maintenance (PAAM) model.

The adoption and maintenance of physical activity (PA) is an important health behavior. This paper presents the first comprehensive empirical test of the Physical Activity Adoption and Maintenance (PAAM) model, which proposes that a combination of explicit (e.g.

Do executive functions predict physical activity behavior? A meta-analysis.

Background: Executive functions (EFs) are important determinants of health behaviors. In the present study, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between EFs and physical activity (PA) behavior.

Methods: Systematic searches were carried out in PsycInfo, MEDLINE, and SPORTDiscus databases throughout April 2021.

Self-regulation and healthy lifestyles: considering the future may increase current physical activity levels.

The present study examined whether people's consideration of consequences (future vs. immediate consequences; CFC) can predict physical activity behaviour (PAB) and, to explore key mechanisms that may underline such association. To that end, participants ( = 128) filled in standardised measures of CFC and PAB, and questionnaires of health regulatory focus, attitude and intention as mediators of the CFC-PAB association.

Study protocol for the description and evaluation of the "Habit Coach" - a longitudinal multicenter mHealth intervention for healthy habit formation in health care professionals.

Background: The adoption of a healthy lifestyle plays a crucial role for the health and well-being of health care professionals. Previous e- and mHealth interventions relied on deliberative psychological processes (e.g.

Predicting Physical Activity Behavior by Automatic and Reflective Self-Regulatory Processes.

In this study, we examined the interaction of automatic (i.e., automatic affective evaluations) and reflective [i.

Predictors of Vaping Behavior Change in Young Adults Using the Transtheoretical Model: A Multi-Country Study.

Electronic nicotine products remain popular among college students. These products contain heavy metals, carcinogens and the addictive substance nicotine. By understanding where students are in their behavior change can help to determine and focus messages and campaigns.

Physical activity automaticity, intention, and trait self-control as predictors of physical activity behavior - a dual-process perspective.

Dual-process theories assume that physical activity (PA) behavior is regulated by two different processes: (i.e., automatic, fast) and (i.

Influence of a Planning Intervention on Physical Activity Behavior: the Moderating Role of Intentions and Executive Functions in a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Planning and executive functions (EFs; inhibition, updating, shifting) are self-regulatory variables that help people to become and stay physically active. The aim of this study was to examine how and for whom a planning intervention affects physical activity (PA) behavior in the short term. Therefore, the mediating role of planning and the moderating role of intentions and EFs for the planning-behavior link were examined.

An Analysis of Associations Between Electronic Nicotine Delivery System Users.

Background: Electronic nicotine-delivery systems have been increasing in prevalence among young adults. Although these devices are marketed to aid in quit smoking, young adults who do not smoke traditional cigarettes are using these devices. This study explored associations between individuals' quit type (ie, no plans to quit, plans to quit, or quit > 6 months ago) and perceived health status, perception of harm compared to cigarettes, perception of secondhand vapor harm, and reasons for first use.

Behavioural automaticity moderates and mediates the relationship of trait self-control and physical activity behaviour.

Objectives: Trait self-control has been shown to be associated with physical activity behaviour. However, in contrast with the theoretical assumption underlying the strength model of self-control, self-control seems to be more important for automatic compared with controlled behaviours. It is argued that self-control might facilitate the formation of adaptive habits (behavioural automaticity) and therefore enhance health behaviour through an indirect effect.

Executive Functions, Trait Self-Control, and the Intention-Behavior Gap in Physical Activity Behavior.

Many people fail to translate their physical activity intentions into behavior. This intention-behavior gap can be explained by (a) explicit trait self-control, (b) implicit executive functions, and (c) their interactions. In 118 participants, the intention-behavior gap was measured in a prospective design.

Treatment of ocular rosacea with once-daily low-dose doxycycline.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of once-daily systemic treatment of ocular rosacea with a slow-release form of 40 mg of doxycycline.

Methods: Fifteen patients with ocular rosacea were enrolled between February 2010 and October 2012 in a retrospective observational case series. Patient complaints and clinical findings including blepharitis with telangiectasia and meibomian gland dysfunction, conjunctival redness, and fluorescein staining of the cornea were evaluated.

Regulatory fit messages and physical activity motivation.

Targeted communication about health behaviors seems to be more effective than mass communication in which undifferentiated audiences receive identical messages. Regulatory focus is psychological variable that can be used to build two target groups: promotion-focused or prevention-focused people. It is hypothesized that targeting messages to an individual's regulatory focus creates regulatory fit and is more successful to promote a physically active lifestyle than nonfit messages.

Treatment of ocular rosacea with 40 mg doxycycline in a slow release form.

Background: About 30-50 % of rosacea patients have ocular involvement. The symptoms range from a foreign-body sensation to conjunctivitis or blepharitis and may even include severe corneal ulcerations. Systemic treatment is generally with tetracycline.
