Motivation is an important factor for the promotion of physical activity behavior, and motivation to perform a given task can derive from various sources (Katz & Kahn, 1966; Ryan & Deci, 2000). One source of motivation is the use of rewards. This dissertation addresses two different characteristics of motivating rewards grounded in self-presentational theory: (a) the time-based nature and (b) the image-based nature of a reward; and how they are associated with physical activity motivation and behavior. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not linking an exercise task to an immediate reward in the form of a charitable giving opportunity influences the amount of effort expended in a single bout of exercise on a stationary cycle ergometer. The secondary purpose was to examine the effect of adding an image-based reward component in the form of making results public (e.g., posted on social media) on effort expended in a cycling bout. Two studies were conducted using experimental designs where participants were randomly assigned to four different treatment conditions: (a) Private pro-health (i.e., control group-delayed reward, potential health benefit), (b) Private prosocial reward (i.e., immediate reward - cycling for a monetary donation to charity), (b) Public self-presentational reward (i.e., immediate reward -- cycling results posted on social media), and (d) Both Public prosocial and self-presentational reward (i.e., immediate reward, cycling and charity donation results posted on social media). The first study was a pilot study (N=30) to test the research process and protocol and also to identify variables of interest. The second study, grounded in self-presentation theory, replicated the basic task, elaborating the theoretical framework and methodology with a larger sample size. In Study 2, college students ( N = 108) completed questionnaires for assessment of previous physical activity levels, completed exercise eligibility forms, and performed a single bout of cycling. The dependent variable was time spent (minutes) cycling during a session. Analyses using current physical activity levels and altruistic personality as covariates showed there was a significant difference in a way that more time was spent cycling when immediate rewards such as charity donations and Facebook posts were used. In addition, self-efficacy beliefs increased when immediate rewards were involved. The findings from this study support the possibility that using motivating rewards (time and image based) is positively associated with increased physical activity levels.
