Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Using Self-Motivating Messages to Encourage People to Exercise More
The investigators are interested in using personalized, self-motivating messages to motivate people to exercise more.
The investigators are interested in using personalized, self-motivating messages to motivate
people to exercise more. Through a partnership with a university, the investigators are
running a large-scale, randomized field controlled trial aimed at increasing exercise
frequencies during a 100-day challenge. The primary purpose of this study is to test whether
sending people motivating messages they wrote to themselves in the past can keep them
engaged in the challenge and motivate them to exercise more frequently. One week into the
challenge, employees who have signed up for the challenge will receive an email inviting
them to participate in a short activity. Employees who click on the link will be directed to
a survey. Once they finish reading the first introductory page and click "next", they will
be randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the control group, employees will be
encouraged to write down what they think will motivate them to walk more after 20, 50, and
90 days into the Challenge. These employees will receive standard reminders on the 20th,
50th, and 90th day of the challenge. In the treatment group, employees will be encouraged to
write down motivating messages that they will receive on the 20th, 50th, and 90th day of the
Challenge.
All employees who are exposed to either the control or the treatment condition will be
included in the analysis.
The investigators plan to explore moderators based on (a) employees' demographics (age,
gender, ethnicity, position), (b) employees' participation in previous challenges, and (c)
employees' health condition and fitness level prior to the challenge (such as how actively
they have been participating in other wellness activities, their health statistics).
