Automatic evaluations associated with running exercise: validation of a running-related Single-Target Implicit Association Test (ST-IAT)

Beschreibung

Exercise-related behavior seems to be determined by both cognitive-reflective and automaticaffective evaluations associated with physical activity or exercise. According to Brand and Ekkekakis (2018) the impact of automatic evaluations on exercise-related decision making and motivation is considerable. Indeed, a few empirical studies have confirmed the link between exercise-related behavior and automatic evaluations (Conroy et al., 2010; Bluemke et al.,2010; Brand & Schweizer, 2015; Antoniewicz & Brand, 2016). In exercise psychological research automatic evaluations of exercising have been assessed, inter alia, by using the Implicit Association Test (IAT; originally Greenwald et al., 1998). To date, the IATs reported mainly target exercise in general. In order to estimate automatic evaluations associated with a particular type of exercise (e.g. running), implicit measures specifically targeting certain physical activities are needed. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a modified Single-TargetImplicit Association Test (ST-IAT; Bluemke & Friese, 2008) which measures automatic evaluations towards running.
