| Popis: | Positive affect, exercise, and leaning forward body postures have been shown to play a role in the motivational variables that assist in the goal achievement process. The aim of this study is to analyze whether the manipulation of the body (via posture) and behavior (via exercise) increases approach motivation to achieve a personal goal while individuals are joy-induced through a virtual reality mood-induction procedure (VR-MIP). The sample was composed of 85 volunteers (Mage = 23.92; 76.5% women) who were assigned to three conditions in which their posture and movements were manipulated during a joy VR-MIP: high-approach motivation condition (leaning forward posture plus pedaling); medium-approach motivation condition (reclining backward posture plus pedaling); and low-approach motivation condition (reclining backward posture without pedaling). This study highlights that adopting a leaning forward posture while pedaling during joy induction increases approach motivation to achieve a personal goal, and the role of joy as a moderator in this relationship. |
