Motivational profiles for physical activity among adults with type 2 diabetes and their relationships with physical activity behavior
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Using self-determination theory, the aim of this study was to examine motivational profiles toward physical activity among adults with type 2 diabetes and how these profiles predict physical activity. In total, 381 adults with type 2 diabetes (188 or 49.3% women, M age = 61.39, SD = 7.29) completed a questionnaire assessing their physical activity motivation and behavior. First, results of a multiple regression analysis showed that intrinsic and identified motives were positively associated with leisure-time physical activity over the past three months while results of a multivariate analysis of covariance revealed that higher levels of intrinsic and identified motives were associated with observing physical activity recommendations for type 2 diabetes (i.e. practicing 150 min of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week). Then, results of a cluster analysis distinguished four distinct motivational profiles: self-determined, controlled, moderate, and non-self-determined. Participants reporting the highest physical activity participation level and observing physical activity recommendations were more likely to present a self-determined profile. The present study highlights the benefits of using both a variable-centered and a motivational profile approach. They also highlight the importance of examining the type of motivation associated with physical activity practice among adults with type 2 diabetes since autonomous forms of motivation positively influence both the frequency of leisure-time physical activity and the observance of physical activity recommendations for type 2 diabetes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
