ABSTRACT
Exercise is one of the most important health behaviors to reduce and prevent the severity of many chronic diseases. The purpose of the current study was to determine if adding temporal discounting (TD) would affect the predictability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in exercising among older adults. One hundred thirty-seven older adults were recruited from 11 churches in rural Arkansas using a cross-sectional design. Information regarding participants' exercise behavior, constructs of the TPB, TD rates, and demographics was collected. Path analysis was used to examine the relationships between and among each of the concepts of the TPB and TD. TD was not a significant predictor (p = 0.413) for exercise behavior after adjusting for intention. Adding TD to the existing TPB did not significantly affect the predictability of the model negatively or positively. [Res Gerontol Nurs. 2017; 10(6)252-259.].
