| dc.description.abstract | Health-promoting behaviors such as physical activity and healthy eating are essential for
preventing lifestyle-related diseases. Based on the Basic Psychological Needs theory, this
study examined whether need crafting, the proactive effort to fulfill the psychological needs
of autonomy, relatedness and competence, is related to both physical activity and healthy
eating behavior among emerging adults, and whether this relationship is mediated by need
satisfaction. | |
