ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to investigate a think aloud protocol as a novel way to measure indicators of self-control during acts of physical persistence. Using a within-person design, 35 participants (9 males, 26 females) completed two wall-sit persistence tasks, one employing a think aloud protocol, and the other silent. A two-way mixed ANOVA found no significant differences in persistence between conditions, indicating that using the think aloud protocol during the wall-sit did not have a significant effect on persistence. Think aloud scripts of 34 participants (one participant’s script was inadmissible) revealed that all participants verbalized negative affect, an essential characteristic of a desire-goal conflict. Thirty-two participants (94%) verbalized conflict resolution strategies. A multiple linear regression found that the length of time from the beginning of the task to the first verbalization of negative affect positively predicted persistence on the wall-sit task (β =.61; p < .001), but the length of time to the first verbalization of conflict resolution did not (β =.16; p =.30). This indicates that the time at which negative affect is initially verbalized is a reliable predictor of persistence. The study supports the use of the think aloud protocol in postural persistence tests and other simple physical tasks and supports the possibility that verbalization of negative affect may be an indicator of the initiation of a desire-goal conflict.

在姿势持续性任务中使用“大声思考”协议来衡量目标冲突和冲突解决

摘要

本研究的目的是研究一种大声思考的协议,作为一种在身体持续行为期间测量自我控制指标的新颖方法。使用一个人内设计,35位参与者(9位男性,26位女性)完成了两次坐在墙上的持续性任务,其中一项采用大声思考方案,另一项则保持沉默。双向混合方差分析发现条件之间的持久性没有显着差异,这表明在坐墙不动时使用大声思考协议对持久性没有显着影响。大声思考34名参与者的剧本(其中一位参与者的剧本是不可接受的)显示,所有参与者都表达了负面影响,这是目标与目标冲突的基本特征。三十二名参与者(94%)表达了解决冲突的策略。p <.001),但冲突解决第一次口头化的时间长度却没有(β= .16; p = .30)。这表明最初表达负面影响的时间是持久性的可靠预测指标。该研究支持在姿势持久性测试和其他简单的物理任务中使用“大声思考”协议,并支持口头表达负面影响可能是引发目标与目标冲突的指标的可能性。
