Brief summary

The aim of this study is to adapt the Cravings for Rest and Volitional Energy Expenditure (CRAVE) scale to Turkish society and to make its validity and reliability in Turkish. The CRAVE scale developed by Stults-Kolehmainen et al assesses the intrinsic motivation required for sedentary behavior and participation in physical activity. It has 13 questions. CRAVE scale questions and questions in the data collection form will be prepared through the google surveys and will be sent to the participants via Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram and e-mail. Participants will fill out the survey forms online. 130 participants will be included in the study. In order to evaluate the validity of the CRAVE, the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2), which can measure exercise behaviors and intrinsic motivation and has been validated in Turkish, will be used. Scales will be repeated after 15 days to assess test-retest reliability.

Detailed description

The reliability and validity of the scale will begin with language equivalence and cultural adaptation. The scale will be translated from English to Turkish by two people who are fluent in Turkish and English. A single Turkish translation will be obtained from these two Turkish translations with a common opinion. The scale, which has been translated into Turkish, will be translated into English by two other people who are fluent in Turkish and English. The scale translated into English will be compared with the original. If the developer of the scale, miguel blacutt and Stults-Kolehmainen approves the translation of the scale, participants will be recruited for the study. In the pre-trial phase, a pre-assessment will be conducted with 15 participants to test the intelligibility of the scale. Based on the results of the pre-test phase, the final version of CRAVE will be able to be modified. RAVE scale questions and questions in the data collection form will be prepared through the google surveys and will be sent to the participants via Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram and e-mail. Participants will fill out the survey forms online. 130 participants will be included in the study. In order to evaluate the validity of the CRAVE, the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2), which can measure exercise behaviors and intrinsic motivation and has been validated in Turkish, will be used. Scales will be repeated after 15 days to assess test-retest reliability.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
exercise motivationbaselineExercise motivation will be assessed with CRAVE scale. It consists of 13 items in total. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-10, ranging from never to more than ever. The scale includes two sub-categories: rest motivation and intrinsic motivation to move. There are 5 questions in the resting category and 5 questions in the moving category, and 3 questions are not scored. The score of each category is calculated by dividing the total score of the questions in that category by the number of questions.
exercise behaviourbaselineExercise behaviour will be assessed with BREQ-2 Scale. It comprises 19 items with ratings on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not true for me) to 4 (very true for me). It measures amotivated (e.g., I think exercising is a waste of time), external (e.g., I exercise because other people say I should), introjected (e.g., I feel guilty when I don't exercise), identified (e.g., it's important to me to exercise regularly), and intrinsic (e.g., I find exercise a pleasurable activity) regulations of exercise behavior.
