Abstract
There were three purposes to this research. First, we sought to test the differential role of harmonious and obsessive passion in predicting intention and habit for exercise. The second goal of this research was to test the associations between intention, habit and exercise frequency. Last, the third goal was to assess the mediation role of intention and habit in the relationship between both forms of passion and exercise frequency. The sample consisted of 284 participants (140 males, 144 females) aged 18-60 years old (M age = 29.81, SD = 9.16). Regression paths of the structural model indicated significant associations: a) harmonious passion was significantly associated with intentions and habit; b) obsessive passion was significantly associated with habit; c) intentions and habit were significantly associated with exercise frequency. The mediation model variance explained was 17% (p < .001). The total effect via harmonious and obsessive passion was β = .57 (IC95% = .42, .73) and the total indirect effect was β = .11 (IC95% = .02, .24). Having harmonious passion for a fitness activity appears to have the potential to increase regular physical activity among exercisers. Individuals who recognize the significance of physical exercise and participate in activities they enjoy the most can affirm the positive effects on their health from being active.

Assessment in Sport and Exercise Psychology: Considerations and Recommendations for Translation and Validation of Questionnaires. Front Psychol 2022; 13:806176.

Abstract
Translating and validating measurement instruments in sport and exercise psychology is not an easy task. Rather, it is a task that requires effort and time, for the process is not limited to a simple translation to translate words from one language to another, just in order to make valid and reliable measure. All researchers should be aware that the only proper way is to adopt rigorous and robust methodologies to conduct the process from the preliminary stage of translation to reaching the validation stage of the psychological variable. Only so is it possible to avoid creating fragile and inadequate psychological assessment instruments that can jeopardize the entire investigation to be held with its use. Thus, the main objective of this work is to promote reflection and discussion on the subject by presenting some considerations and recommendations about translation and validation of questionnaires for psychological assessment applied to sport and exercise domain.

Keep on running - a randomized controlled trial to test a digital evidence-based intervention for sustained adoption of recreational running: rationale, design and pilot feasibility study. Health Psychol Behav Med 2021; 9:149-164. [PMID: 34104554 PMCID: PMC8158207 DOI: 10.1080/21642850.2021.1885410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This paper describes the rationale, intervention development, study design and results from the pilot feasibility study of the Keep On Running (KOR) trial. KOR aims to test a web-based brief theory-based intervention, targeting maintenance of recreational running behavior over time (i.e. relapse preventing). METHODS Intervention development was based both on Self-Determination Theory and on Self-Regulation Theory. As part of it, a pilot study was implemented (n=18) to measure intervention adherence and participant satisfaction in order to establish the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention toolkit. Furthermore, this pilot study was also used to test the feasibility and acceptability of the questionnaires selected to be part of the later RCT. RESULTS Pilot intervention acceptability was good, but overall adherence was low. Features such as feedback and social sharing should be added to the toolkit. The main trial should lessen questionnaire length and include data from usual monitoring gadgets and apps (APIs). The protocol of the RCT was adjusted to test the efficacy of the refined final version of the intervention, and the RCT that will test it, contributing to the understanding of recreational running sustainability, allowing the optimization of future interventions aimed at physical activity promotion.

Bester MS, Coetzee M, Van Lill X. Exploring the factor structure of the Passion Scale: Are the dualistic types of passion relevant for workers in the South African context? SA JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY 2020.

Abstract
Orientation: It is not clear from research whether the dualistic model holds true across binary ethnic and gender groups in the South African organisational context.Research purpose: The present research aimed to test the validity and reliability of the two-factor Passion Scale and to assess for measurement invariance of the two-factor scale across binary ethnic and gender groups in the South African context.Motivation of the study: The construct of passion helps to better understand some of the psychological attributes that contribute to experiences of either well-being or strain at work and is therefore an important attribute to measure.Research approach, design and method: The study involved a convenience sample (N = 550) of managerial and staff-level South African employees from various industries with a mean age of 34 years (SD = 10.95). Confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory structural equation modelling, t-tests and tests for measurement invariance were performed.Main findings: The results confirmed the validity and measurement invariance of the two-factor structure of the Passion Scale in the South African work context. The observed differences between the ethnic groups and men and women were practically small.Practical/managerial implications: Well-being interventions should consider the use of the Passion Scale as a measure of the psychological attributes that explain differentiating experiences of harmonious and obsessive passion in the workplace.Contribution/value-add: The findings provided encouraging evidence for the relevance and usefulness of the Passion Scale’s dualistic model of passion for people of different binary ethnic and gender groups in South African organisations.
