Impact Of Goal Conflict On College Students' Exercise Intention And Behavior And Its Resolution Mechanism

Based on Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB),an integrated model adding Goal Conflict,Coping plan and Goal Prioritisation were conducted for a better understanding of the relationship between intention and colleges' Physical Activity(PA).The first study use the questionnaires contained:Theory of Planned Behavior Scale,Godin Leisure Physical Activity Questionnaire,The Phase Change of Physical Exercise Behavior scale,Prioritation of Physical Exercise Behavior Questionnaire,Goal Conflict Questionnaire and Coping Plan Scale.430 college students participated in the survey.Relation between all variables was tested through structural equation modeling.The second study through experiment study want know whether Coping Plan can solve the bad result arouse from Goal Conflict.The results of the first study showed that(1)the old model is accepted.75%Intention was explained by the three variables.25%Physical Activity was explained by the original model.(2)The developed model which added Goal Conflict was acceptable.32%Physical Activity was explained by the developed model which showed that the Goal Conflict is meaningful in predicting Physical Activity.(3)The model of the Coping Plan 7 factor model is better than the Priority 7 factor model.The Coping Plan can significantly predict the Goal Conflict and Physical Activity,and the Coping Plan can adjust the relationship between the Goal Conflict and the exercise behavior The results of the second study showed that the difference between the amount of exercise in the conflict group was significantly higher than that of the non-conflict group.This indicates that there is a significant decrease in the activity of the Goal Conflict group,and the Goal Conflict control is basically successful.Coping plan significant main effect,the Coping plan and Goal Conflict interaction was not significant.This indicates that there is a significant rise in the exercise behavior of the unplanned group and the Coping plan can effectively improve the adverse effect of Goal Conflict on exercise behavior.The conclusion is that:(1)The original TPB model can explain and predict college students' exercise intention and exercise behavior.The original TPB model has good prediction for college students' exercise intention and low prediction of college students' exercise behavior.(2)The new model can better predict the behavior of the exercise.(3)The Goal Conflict can negatively affect the prediction of exercise intention and exercise behavior,and has a negative effect on the exercise behavior.(4)The Coping Plan can positively predict the Goal Conflict and exercise behavior of college students.Coping plan can effectively improve the adverse effect of Goal Conflict on exercise behavior.
