"We Are an Active Family": Promoting Child Physical Activity Through Social Identity Formation in the Family System
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Physical Activity, Social Identity
In brief
The purpose of our study is to explore the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) identity formation in the family system as a promotor of long-term PA. The primary research question is: Does a family identity formation condition (with education+planning) result in increased child moderate- to vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA) compared to a standard comparison education and planning condition at six months? Hypothesis: Child MVPA will be higher for the identity formation condition in comparison to the more standard PA education+planning condition at six months.
