Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to predict college students’ physical activity based on a hypotheticallyintegrated model of stages of change for physical activity and theory of planned behavior. Methods: Atotal of 302 college students (male: 70.2%; female: 29.8%; Meanage= 23.6 years old) participated in thesurvey. Attitude scale, the subjective norm scale, perceived behavioral control scale, stages of change scaleand physical activity scale were used. Results: As a result of a path analysis, in the TPB constructs,perceived behavioral control had a statistically significant impact on the stages of change for physicalactivity (.34). In addition, perceived behavioral control had direct impacts on physical activity (.44). Thestages of change for physical activity had an impact on physical activity (.23) Conclusion: The results ofthis study suggest a possibility of a theoretical integrated study on psychological variables with collegestudents. The current study points out that further studies should be carried out to verify theeffectiveness of the integrated model to explain physical activity.
