Abstract des Autors
Two experiments investigated the possible relationship between expectancy of psychological benefits from exercise and acute mood change. In the first study, participants (N=71) reported their expectancies using an open-ended instrument and completed the POMS before and after jogging. Results of a 2 (pre-, post-exercise) x 2 (gender) x 3 (class) MANOVA indicated that there were significant acute mood benefits for women (p<.0001) and for men (p<.03). Multiple regression analysis indicated that the relationship between expectancy of psychological benefits and mood change approached significance (p<.06). In the second study, participants (N=68) responded to an objective expectancy questionnaire and again completed the POMS before and after jogging. Results of the 2 x 2 x 3 MANOVA indicated a significant pre- to post-exercise mood change (p<.0001). No relationship was found between expectancy and mood change. In conclusion, joggers in both studies reported significant short-term mood benefits, but there was no conclusive evidence that expectancy was related to mood alteration. Verf.-Referat
