Summary

The purpose of this study is to increase regular physical activity among students by fostering self-management competencies. The intervention was implemented as paper-pencil intervention. The aim of this research project is to evaluate a motivational and volitional intervention in comparison to a control intervention.

Study participants will be recruited in lectures at Freie Universitaet Berlin and followed up twice (two and ten weeks after baseline).

The motivational intervention is expected to increase unmotivated participants' intention to be physically active. The volitional intervention is expected to promote physical activity among motivated but inactive participants. Both interventions are hypothesized to improve self-management competencies over time.
