Abstract

Inconsistencies exist regarding the relation between physical activity (PA) and internalizing symptomology in early adolescence, and there is need for investigation of potential moderators that may account for these discrepancies. The current study utilized a Self-Determination Theory Framework to investigate the main effects of five key motivations to exercise and their moderating effects between PA and internalizing problems in an underserved sample of adolescents (n = 167; mean age = 12.19 years; 73% African American). Analyses showed that intrinsic motivations were negatively related to internalizing problems and extrinsic motivations were positively related. PA was only protective against internalizing problems when intrinsic motivations were high and had iatrogenic effects when these were low. Exploratory analyses further delineated the unique effects of motivational orientations. Clinical implications and future research directions are discussed.

青少年早期体育活动与内化问题的关系:运动动机的变化是一个关键的调节因素。

关于身体活动(PA)与青春期早期内化症状之间的关系存在不一致，需要调查可能解释这些差异的潜在调节因子。本研究利用自我决定理论框架，在服务不足的青少年样本中调查了五个关键运动动机的主要作用及其在运动动机与内化问题之间的调节作用(n = 167;平均年龄12.19岁;73%是非裔美国人)。分析表明，内在动机与内化问题呈负相关，外在动机与内化问题呈正相关。当内在动机高时，PA仅对内化问题起保护作用，当内化动机低时，PA具有医源性作用。探索性分析进一步描述了动机取向的独特效果。讨论了临床意义和未来的研究方向。
