Brief Summary

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and acceptability of wearable activity trackers with self-regulatory techniques for promoting physical activity (PA) in older adults. In addition, this study aimed to investigate the impact of a multicomponent PA intervention on life satisfaction, happiness, eudaimonic well-being, and depressive symptoms, reflecting different dimensions of psychological well-being, in older adults.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Baseline Depression

  Depression was measured using the 10-item Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Inventory on a 4-point Likert scale. The level of depressive symptoms was reflected by summing the responses of the ten items, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depressive symptoms.

  Baseline (the week before the intervention)

• Baseline Happiness

  Happiness was measured using the 4-item Subjective Happiness Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The mean score of all items was calculated to indicate the level of happiness with higher scores indicating greater happiness.

  Baseline (the week before the intervention)

• Baseline Life Satisfaction

  Life satisfaction was measured using the 5-item Satisfaction With Life Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The sum of all items provides a composite score, with higher scores representing higher levels of life satisfaction.

  Baseline (the week before the intervention)

• Baseline Eudaimonic Well-Being

  Eudaimonic well-being was assessed using the 18-item Psychological Well-Being Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. An overall score was computed by averaging the scores of all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of eudaimonic well-being.

  Baseline (the week before the intervention)

• Posttest Depression

  Depression was measured using the 10-item Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Inventory on a 4-point Likert scale. The level of depressive symptoms was reflected by summing the responses of the ten items, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depressive symptoms.

  Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)

• Posttest Happiness

  Happiness was measured using the 4-item Subjective Happiness Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The mean score of all items was calculated to indicate the level of happiness with higher scores indicating greater happiness.

  Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)

• Posttest Life Satisfaction

  Life satisfaction was measured using the 5-item Satisfaction With Life Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The sum of all items provides a composite score, with higher scores representing higher levels of life satisfaction.

  Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)

• Posttest Eudaimonic Well-Being

  Eudaimonic well-being was assessed using the 18-item Psychological Well-Being Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. An overall score was computed by averaging the scores of all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of eudaimonic well-being.

  Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)
