In your interview on NPR January 1, 2010 you mentioned a study about exercise changing a variety of behaviors. What was the study & where can I access it?
Thanks,
Murray Neale
You’re probably thinking of: Oaten, M., & Cheng, K. (2006). Longitudinal Gains in Self-Control from Regular Physical Exercise. British Journal of Health Psychology, 11, 717-733.
There’s lots of other evidence for the benefits of exercise on self-control — my book covers it in a few chapters and provides citations.
Best,
Kelly
Thank you!
I just watched your talk at the Stanford Happiness Conference 2011 on youtube and it was very fascinating. I’m currently writing a thesis on self-compassion and several of the studies you mention would be helpful for my literature review. However, I couldn’t read who the research was done by. Do you happen to have a link to those studies? Many thanks, and I look forward to studying your work more.
Check out Kristin Neff’s self-compassion research webpage. Not only does it list all the studies, but includes the actual PDFs of almost every study! Best of luck with your thesis on a really important topic. Kelly
