The Importance of Autonomous Regulation for Students' Successful Translation of Intentions into Behavior Change via Planning

Figure 1

Moderated mediation model: planning as mediator between intention and physical activity behavior, and autonomous regulation moderating this mediation (results from the analyses using the MODMEDC macro Version 2.1; Model 2; cf. [28]; with centered variables). Note. 𝑁=534, ^∗𝑃<.05, autonomous regulation, intention, and baseline behavior (physical activity) measured at baseline, planning and follow-up behavior (physical activity) four weeks later. Physical activity is the index of frequency × duration.
