Reaktanz: Missing Link der Bewegungsförderung?
Reactance: The Missing Link in Promoting Physical Activity?
Zusammenfassung
Es besteht eine große Diskrepanz zwischen dem Wissen um den gesundheitlichen Wert der körperlichen Aktivität und der tatsächlichen Umsetzung in der Bevölkerung. Dies gilt in besonderer Ausprägung für das von uns untersuchte Personal in der stationären Altersversorgung. Der sozialpsychologische Ansatz der Reaktanz und die die dazugehörige Theorie hilft uns, dieses Phänomen besser zu verstehen. In dem Beitrag wird dieses Konzept kurz erläutert und seine Bedeutung für die Bewegungsförderung vor dem Hintergrund der Erfahrungen im Modellvorhaben POLKA dargestellt.
Summary
There is a large discrepancy between the knowledge of the health benefits of physical activity and the actual implementation in the population. This is particularly evident in the case of the employees we studied in inpatient care for the elderly. The socio-psychological approach of reactance and the associated theory helps us to better understand this phenomenon. This article briefly explains this concept and the significance for the promotion of physical activity against the background of our experiences in the POLKA project.
