Brief Summary

This study will investigate the relationship between sedentary behaviour and subjective well-being among a sample of university students. Eligible participants will fill out an online survey with questions assessing their sedentary behaviour, physical activity, subjective well-being, life satisfaction, depression, anxiety, and demographic variables.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Subjective Well-Being (Affect)

  Subjective Well-Being (specifically, affect) will be assessed through the Positive Affect \& Negative Affect Scale (PANAS). The PANAS consists of a number of words that describe different feelings and emotions. Participants indicate the extent to which they feel a particular feeling and emotion over the past week, using a 5-point scale that ranges from 1 "very slightly or not at all" to 5 "extremely". An overall score for both positive and negative affect is calculated by summing up the points for those particular feelings/emotions (e.g., interested for positive affect, distressed for negative affect). Scores for positive affect can range from 10-50, with higher scores representing higher levels of positive affect. Scores for negative affect can range from 10-50, with lower scores representing lower levels of negative affect.

  Baseline

• Subjective Well-Being (Life Satisfaction)

  Subjective Well-Being (specifically, life satisfaction) will be assessed through the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS); a 5-item scale designed to measure global cognitive judgments of one's life satisfaction. Participants indicate how much they agree or disagree with each of the 5-items over the past week, using a 7-point scale that ranges from 7 "strongly agree" to 1 "strongly disagree". An overall score (from 5 to 35) is calculated through summing the responses to the 5-items. Recommended cutoffs for interpretation are: 5-9, extremely dissatisfied; 10-14, dissatisfied; 15-19, slightly dissatisfied; 20, neutral; 21-25, slightly satisfied; 26-30, satisfied; 31-35, very satisfied.

  Baseline

• Subjective Well-Being

  Subjective Well-Being will be assessed through the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). The WEMWBS consists of 14-items that assesses subjective well-being through both hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions of well-being. Participants select the option that best describes their experience with each of the 14-items over the last week (note: the original questionnaire assesses the last two weeks), using a 5-point scale that ranges from 1 "none of the time" to 5 "all of the time". A total score is calculated by summing the 14 individual statement scores. The minimum score is 14 and the maximum is 70, with higher scores indicating greater levels of subjective well-being.
