Résumé

The present research focused on the phenomenon of motivational contagion while being physically active. It can be assumed that communication with significant others impacts upon a person's behavior in situations where communication or interaction is not explicitly intended to change behavior. Specifically, the purpose of the two present studies was to examine the effect of positive (i.e., intrinsically connoted) and negative (i.e., extrinsically connoted) self-disclosure from a confederate on the motivational state of an individual simultaneously exercising with the confederate. These studies sought to replicate the experimental study of Scarapicchia, Andersen, & Bengoechea (2013). In addition, to test the further assumption that the relationship impacts upon contagion processes, we included a short team-building intervention involving our confederate and the participant in order to manipulate the relationship quality (Study 1) and to compare friends with strangers (Study 2). Our results show that the participants who were exposed to the intrinsic cues (e.g., "I enjoy riding the bike, it's great that there is a study about it") reported greater interest and enjoyment while exercising on the bicycle ergometer than those who were exposed to extrinsic cues (e.g., "I don't enjoy cycling at all. I'm only participating because my teacher told me to do so"). The relationship between the confederate and participant was not found to affect the main effect.
