Assistant professor Yuhei Inoue,  Ph.D., will publish an article in Journal of Applied Sport Psychology.

The article, “Relationships between self-determined motivation and developmental outcomes in sports-based positive youth development,” analyzes data based on participants of a youth running program. Inoue and his colleagues found that participants with a higher self-determination toward running reported positive attitudes toward a healthy lifestyle. The results also revealed that those same participants reported lower engagement in threatening behavior and higher general self-efficacy.
