Full Title
Fueling Future Fitness: The Effects of Episodic Future Thinking on Choice for Physical Activity
Description
This study looks at whether thinking about positive events in your future can help you choose to be more active. This kind of thinking is called Episodic Future Thinking (EFT). We would like to see if EFT helps you choose to do a physical activity and then see how long you do that activity. In this study, you will:
Do either EFT or a different type of activity
Over the span of 20 minutes, choose to do either a physical activity or a more relaxed activity
This could help us learn new ways to encourage healthy habits.
Eligibility:
18 or older
Live a lifestyle where you are sitting a lot
Want to change your lifestyle to become more physically active
Compensation: Yes
?
Compensation may include cash, checks, gift cards, debit cards, or incentives like gift baskets, technology items, or merchandise.

Participants who are pregnant/breastfeeding, have recently participated in a similar study, have physical/medical ailments that would limit their ability to safely participate in physical activity, and those with various psychopathologies will be excluded from the study.
