Mission accomplished? Physical activity, affect, and self-esteem
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The homeless experience a variety of physical, psychological and social vulnerabilities; physical activity and sport may be one vehicle to help alleviate some of these challenges. Self-esteem can predict intention and moderate the level of control the individual perceives they have over a specific health behaviour such as physical activity. There is evidence that even a single bout of physical activity can positively change affective states. Patrons from a homeless shelter (N = 34) participated in one of four physical activity experiences. Four physical activity experiences were selected based on results from our previous research: bowling, yoga, war canoe and Atlatl, and ball hockey. Self-report exercise behaviour and intentions were assessed prior to activity participation. Self-esteem and physical activity affect were measured before and after each activity. There were no significant changes in self-esteem or affect following physical activity participation. No between group differences were evident for self-esteem or affect. Self-esteem was not a significant predictor of self-reported exercise behaviour. Exercise behaviour was a significant predictor of physical activity affect; F(1, 27) = 5.74, p = .02; with an R2 = .18. Participants who participated more regularly in physical activity had higher ratings of physical activity affect. Acknowledgments: University of Winnipeg Major Research Grant

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
