Examining Group Components on Exercise Adherence in Older Adults
No full textOlder adults remain the least active population despite the well-known benefits of regular exercise (Beauchamp et al., 2007; Rúa-Alonso et al., 2023). Researchers examining exercise adherence in older adults have determined two modalities of training—individual and group—with individual training being the preferred mode of exercise for older adults (Beauchamp et al., 2007). However, previous research has failed to evaluate the various components of group exercise before making a comparison with individual exercise to determine which form best predicts older adults’ adherence to exercise (Hawley-Hague et al., 2014). As such, the purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of the instructor, age-related characteristics of a group, social support, and program characteristics on group exercise adherence in older adults, so that a proper comparison with individual training can be made to predict exercise adherence. Participants (N = 50) were older adult exercisers participating in Eastern Illinois University’s Adult Fitness Program. Participants within the group fitness classes completed four validated questionnaires related to each of the four group components. Adherence from both individual and group modalities were measured using attendance records. A multiple regression analysis was used to explore which component of group exercise would have the greatest effect on adherence to exercise in older adults. A linear regression model was used to determine which form of exercise (i.e., individual or group) best predicted exercise adherence. Results indicated that when taken together, the component of group exercise did not significantly predict exercise adherence in older adults. However, when examined individually, age-related characteristics of the group significantly predicted adherence. The findings of this research may guide practitioners to focus on individual-specific preferences of exercises to maximize adherence to exercise in older adults

Buscando El Paraíso: Imposter Syndrome Amongst First-Generation Latino/a/x Students at Predominately White Institutions
No full textAs more first-generation Latino/a/x college students enter universities across the United States, it is essential to understand the various challenges this population may face. One major challenge these students may face is the psychological phenomenon known as imposter syndrome. This study was conducted to understand the causes of imposter syndrome in first-generation Latino/a/x college students as they attend a predominantly White institution (PWI). Using a semi-structured phenomenological design, data was collected from six participants at a medium-size PWI in the Midwest. Qualitative analysis revealed that there is a connection between Latino/a/x students and imposter syndrome being developed both prior to and during the time at their institution. The lack of support, pressure from family (specifically parents), and being the only Latino/a/x student in the classroom create a recipe for this phenomenon to present itself in this population. These findings highlight how institutions play a crucial role in providing support, resources, and a stable environment to better support Latino/a/x students to thrive both academically and personally
