The variability of emotions, physical complaints, intention, and self-efficacy: an ecological momentary assessment study in older adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many theoretical frameworks have been used in order to understand health behaviors such as physical activity, sufficient sleep, healthy eating habits, etc. In most research studies, determinants within these frameworks are assessed only once and thus are considered as stable over time, which leads to rather 'static' health behavior change interventions. However, in real-life, individual-level determinants probably vary over time (within days and from day to day), but currently, not much is known about these time-dependent fluctuations in determinants. In order to personalize health behavior change interventions in a more dynamic manner, such information is urgently needed.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to explore the time-dependent variability of emotion
