Table 4 The association of behavioral context patterns with motivational-volitional patterns expressed as transition probabilities and odds ratios

From: The interaction of behavioral context and motivational-volitional factors for exercise and sport in adolescence: patterns matter

 

Motivational-volitional patterns (N = 1146)

 

1. The intention- and plan-less (n = 61; 5.32%)

2. The low motivated with low volition (n = 152; 13.26%)

3. The moderately motivated with moderate volition (n = 414; 36.13%)

4. The plan-less motivated (n = 42; 3.67%)

5. The highly motivated with high volition (n = 477; 41.62%)

  1. OR odds ratios, Reference categories are the mostly inactive for the behavioral context patterns and the intention- and plan-less for the motivational-volitional patterns; OR > 1 indicate a higher probability than expected and OR < 1 indicate a lower probability than expected compared to the reference categories. 95% CI = 95% Confident interval for odds ratios
  2. *p < .05 indicates significant OR
