Exploring the Impact of Question Formulations on Emotional Responses to Exercise
September 8, 2025 - 05:49
A recent study investigated the influence of question formulations on individuals' affective responses during acute exercise. Utilizing the Feeling Scale, created by Hardy and Rejeski, researchers aimed to understand how the way questions are posed can shape emotional experiences while engaging in physical activity.
Participants were subjected to different question formats to assess their feelings before, during, and after exercise. The findings revealed that the formulation of questions significantly impacted participants' emotional responses. Those who received positively framed questions reported more favorable feelings towards their exercise experience compared to those who encountered neutrally or negatively framed inquiries.
This research highlights the importance of language and communication in exercise settings, suggesting that carefully crafted questions can enhance individuals' emotional responses and overall enjoyment of physical activity. By optimizing how questions are posed, fitness professionals and researchers can potentially improve motivation and adherence to exercise programs, ultimately fostering a more positive relationship with physical activity.
