Description
PATHWAYS LINKING NEGATIVE SELF-VIEWS OF AGING TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN DAILY LIFE: AN INTENSIVE WITHIN-PERSON APPROACH - PROJECT SUMMARY THIS FIVE-YEAR PLAN FOR A MOSAIC K99/R00 POSTDOCTORAL CAREER TRANSITION AWARD WILL EQUIP DR. ERICA OâBRIEN WITH ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO HELP LAUNCH HER CAREER AS AN INDEPENDENT SCIENTIST IN HEALTH- FOCUSED AGING RESEARCH. THIS QUALIFIED CANDIDATE SEEKS TO FOCUS HER RESEARCH PROGRAM ON UNDERSTANDING THE PSYCHO-SOCIAL AND SOCIAL COGNITIVE DETERMINANTS, MULTI-FACTORIAL PATHWAYS, AND TEMPORAL DYNAMICS UNDERLYING LIFELONG ENGAGEMENT IN HEALTH-PROMOTING BEHAVIORS AND ACTIVITIES. THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN INVOLVES SCIENTIFIC TRAINING AT PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITYâS COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT UNDER THE MENTORSHIP OF WORLD-RENOWNED EXPERTS IN ECOLOGICAL MOMENTARY ASSESSMENTS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AGING/ADULT DEVELOPMENT, AND HEALTH BEHAVIOR RESEARCH.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (PA) SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT BEHAVIORAL PATHWAY TO DELAYED FUNCTIONAL DECLINE, DISEASE, AND MORTALITY AS WELL AS TO IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN OLDER AGE. YET, MANY PEOPLE DO NOT OBTAIN THE RECOMMENDED LEVELS OF PA, WITH INSUFFICIENT PA BEING MORE LIKELY IN OLDER ADULTS. EXISTING STUDIES INCREASINGLY INDICATE THAT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT LOW PA REFLECTS AN EXPECTED AND INEVITABLE PART OF THE AGING PROCESS REPORT LOWER LEVELS OF PA ENGAGEMENT, BUT THE PATHWAYS EXPLAINING THIS RELATIONSHIP ARE UNCLEAR. WHEREAS THEORIES OF AGING SUGGEST THAT NEGATIVE SELF-VIEWS OF AGING (NS-VOA) ADOPTED EARLIER IN LIFE BECOME INTERNALIZED AND SELF-FULLING LATER IN LIFE, HEALTH BEHAVIOR THEORIES EMPHASIZE THE LACK OF MOTIVATION TO ENGAGE IN PA AND POOR SELF-REGULATION OF P
