The role of motivation on physical activity and screen time behaviors among parent-adolescent dyads: The FLASHE study

A. R. Lucas et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of self-determination theory (SDT) constructs on physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) behaviors among parent-adolescent dyads. Findings revealed that perceived competence was more strongly associated with motivation among adolescents compared with parents, and parental motivation influenced both parental PA and adolescent motivation for PA and ST. Adolescent motivation was only associated with parent motivation for PA behavior, and not for ST behavior. Overall, SDT constructs extended acceptably to the dyadic setting, with PA models providing a better fit to the data than ST models in the FLASHE study.
