ABSTRACT
People may be more likely to exercise if they have self-efficacy for exercise (SEE). We conducted an exploratory analysis of SEE using data from a clinical trial designed to increase physical activity (N = 340). We evaluated correlates of baseline SEE and the relationship between baseline SEE and physical activity. Low SEE at baseline was correlated with lower well-being, physical activity, and higher depression at baseline. Participants with high (vs. low) baseline SEE had higher physical activity (but no differential change in activity) over time. These data highlight the potential role of SEE in psychological health and physical activity.
