Impact of Loss Aversion Messaging and Anticipated Regret for Inaction on Exercise Adherence in Older Adults
Conditions: Mobility Disability, Walking Difficulty
Sex: All
Ages: 65 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 148
Sponsor: Milton S. Hershey Medical Center
Location: Penn State College of Medicine Hershey Pennsylvania
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if messages focused on not losing the functional benefits of exercise can help older adults with walking difficulty continue to exercise regularly. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do these messages make people more likely to anticipate regretting it if they do not exercise? Does more anticipated regret make it more likely they will exercise more regularly?
Researchers will compare two versions of messages to see if the content of these one of these message types is more effective than the other.
Participants will complete a daily 5-minute at home exercise program for 4 months and complete regular online surveys to track their progress and report their feelings regarding regret.
