The purpose of the talk is to provide an overview of studies that I have conducted over the last 10 years in an effort to understand the role of personal and contextual motivational factors in promoting (or undermining) physical activity engagement, weight management, and psychological well-being. I will be drawing primarily from Self-Determination Theory to illustrate how significant others (e.g., fitness instructors, physical education teachers, romantic partners) can impact on decisions to engage in physical activity and healthy diet. Evidence from survey and experimental work will be presented. I will also reflect on practical issues with regard to the implementation of self-determination theory-based interventions for delivering optimal motivational strategies.
