• SSHRC IDG awarded 2023: The purpose of the proposed research is to use ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methods to explore how the dynamic, reciprocal relationships between the affective and cognitive subcomponents of subjective well-being (SWB) (i.e., satisfaction with life, incidental affect, integral affect) and physical activity behaviour change over time, in person specific ways. Using a 21­day EMA mixed­sampling design, our study will involve a gender­balanced community sample of 50 active and 50 low active individuals from the Greater Edmonton Area. Data will be analysed using hierarchical Bayesian continuous­time structural equation modelling (CT­SEM), as well as machine­learning approaches (i.e., CT­SEM trees) to examine what individual characteristics and situational factors meaningfully predict distinct person­specific dynamics between facets of SWB and physical activity.
