| Abstract: | This research focuses on the implicit and explicit affective appraisals regarding exercise to find out why exercise behavior is declining. It focuses on the affective experience regarding energy, whether people associate energy or tiredness with sports. Sleep plays an important role in feeling energized and is therefore important to take into account. This research was cross-sectional and qualitative. To measure implicit affective appraisal an SC-IAT was made, to measure it explicitly the AFFEXX was used, to measure physical activity the IPAQ-SF was used and to measure sleep quality the PSQI was used. Participants were found through convenience sampling through social media, SONA system, and friends and family. There was no significant correlation between the implicit and explicit affective appraisal (r(59) = - 0.18, p = .157). Therefore, the focus was on the implicit affective appraisal. However, implicit affective appraisal was not associated with exercise (F(1, 59) = 0.411, p = .524) and sleep did not moderate this relationship (β = -490, p = .661). The results illustrated that sleep does not moderate the relationship between physical activity and implicit affective exercise experience. From this we know that just one affective appraisal does not have enough strength to predict physical activity. |
