Abstract | The study investigated the influence of basic psychological needs and time management on volition in exercise among college students in local universities and colleges (LUCs) in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. A convergent mixed methods design was applied to collect quantitative data through surveys and qualitative data using in-depth interviews and focus groups. Results showed that satisfaction with basic psychological needs was high, time-management skills were high, and volition in exercise was moderate. In a singular capacity, psychological needs did not significantly influence the volition in exercise, while time management directly influenced the volition in exercise. Together, these variables directly predict volition. Qualitatively, six emerging themes were revealed regarding the lived experiences of the participants on volition in exercise, namely: navigating life and practical constraints, balancing academic and family responsibilities, health and well-being as intrinsic motivators, social, environmental, and technological influences, self-improvement and confidence building, and structured programs as enablers of consistency. Three essential themes emerged on the role of experiences in shaping the beliefs, attitudes, and commitment of college students such as prioritizing health and well-being, believing in the impact of social support, and embracing exercise as integral to identity, shaped students attitude: cultivating a positive attitude towards exercise, setting and pursuing goal-oriented motivation, and building confidence and self-reflection, and shaped students’ commitment: establishing routine and discipline, using exercise for self-care, and gaining independence and resilience. The extent to which the qualitative data corroborated with quantitative findings is diverse, including converging, diverging, and expanding relationships across the study. |
