Sport and Exercise Psychology Faculty Dr. Bradley J. Cardinal and Dr. Vicki Ebbeck serve as the primary faculty members associated with this area of concentration. Dr. Cardinal has investigated a variety of areas including exercise behavior. He has developed self-report measures and tested interventions in an effort to better understand the different stages of exercise involvement. Dr. Ebbeck s research interests are broadly concerned with the exploration of motivated behavior from a lifespan and interdisciplinary perspective. In order to better understand motivation, a more specific line of research is the examination of self-concept.
Research questions address the structure, antecedents, and consequences of self-concept development.
