Psychological Mechanism of Outdoor Physical Exercise in Polluted Weather Based on Social Cognitive Theory
Abstract
Despite improved living standards, many individuals continue to engage in outdoor physical exercise despite air pollution. This study explores the psychological mechanisms that facilitate this behavior in adverse environmental conditions. Using Social Cognitive Theory as a framework, we investigate the reasons individuals choose to exercise outdoors in polluted weather compared to those who prefer cleaner conditions. Our research includes a statistical analysis of demographic data and an examination of psychological and social factors influencing exercise habits. We distributed a structured questionnaire to 300 participants, receiving 290 responses, of which 280 were valid. By analyzing these responses, we aim to uncover the psychological drivers that sustain commitment to outdoor exercise despite pollution challenges. The findings provide valuable insights into the motivations and mechanisms that encourage individuals to maintain their physical activity in less-than-ideal conditions.
