Abstract: |
By the term "attitudes" we mean the predispositions that individuals have to react positively or negatively to an object. Individuals' attitudes are co-shaped by three factors: The cognitive factor, the emotional factor and the behavioral factor. Understanding attitudes to participation in physical activities in general helps to understand people's choices, intentions and interest in sports. Based on the theory, to change people's negative attitudes and increase their interest in exercise so that they adopt a lifelong sports lifestyle, one should focus on strengthening people's "beliefs", which shape their attitudes, the social factor, and behavioral control. In this chapter, all relevant techniques for changing negative behaviors and adopting healthy behaviors are developed, based on the modern and dominant theories of the field.
