Basic Psychological Needs - The Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale. |
Basic Psychological Needs will be assessed using the The Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (Wilson et al., 2006). This 18-item scale assesses the satisfaction of the psychological needs for exercise using a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (false) to 6 (true) (Wilson et al., 2006). A mean can be calculated for each psychological need (6-items each for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) with a higher score representing greater satisfaction of that need. |
Change in Basic Psychological Needs will be assessed at three time points: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 |

Social Support - Sallis' social support questionnaire |
Social support will be measured using a modified version of Sallis' social support questionnaire (Sallis et al., 1987). The 7-item survey uses a 6-point Likert-type scale and assesses emotional support (3 items) and practical support (4 items). A higher score means individuals feel a greater sense of social support. |
Change in Social Support will be assessed at three time points: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 |

Autonomous and Controlled Motivation - The Treatment Self-Regulation for Exercise Scale |
Motivation will be assessed by the The Treatment Self-Regulation for Exercise Scale. The 15-item scale uses a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all true) to 7 (very true) to assess why one would engage in exercise activities (Levesque et al., 2007). A higher score is more autonomous motivation. |
Change in Motivation will be assessed at three time points: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 |

The questionnaire uses a scale from 1 to 7 with 1 being strongly disagree, and 7 being strongly agree. |

The scale is completed separately for each life domain with 12-items. Participants will be asked to complete the scale for the exercise and sport domains only, for a total 24 items. Participants respond using a 7-point Likert type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) and 7 (strongly agree). |
Change in Quality of Physical Activity Participation will be assessed at three time points: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8 |
