Studies in the Psychology of Physical Activity focus on the determinants and outcomes of psychological factors and physical activity in broad contexts and across a variety of populations. The faculty in this area draw from many specialty areas of psychology, including behavioral, clinical, cognitive, developmental, experimental, psychophysiological, and social. Faculty also have an appreciation for the psychology of physical activity in the context of the broader public health domain. Particular themes of research include the role of various psychological processes (attention, motivation, self-regulation, interpersonal) in the performance of movement skills, behavioral and psychophysiological indices of motor learning, the influence of physical activity on the psychological well-being and brain functions of individuals over the life-span, theoretically-developed physical activity and health behavior change interventions, measurement of physical activity and psychological health, and examining the community, environmental and policy level factors associated with physical activity behavior.
