TI  - Correlates of adherence and contamination in a randomized controlled trial of 
      exercise in cancer survivors: an application of the theory of planned behavior 
      and the five factor model of personality.

AB  - In this study, we examined correlates of adherence and contamination in a 
      randomized controlled trial (RCT) of exercise in cancer survivors using the 
      theory of planned behavior and the Five Factor Model of personality (FFM). We 
      randomly assigned cancer survivors in group psychotherapy classes to either a 
      waiting-list control group (n = 45) or a home-based, moderate intensity exercise 
      program (n = 51). At baseline, participants completed measures of the theory of 
      planned behavior, the FFM, past exercise, physical fitness, medical variables, 
      and demographics. We then monitored exercise over a 10-week period by weekly 
      self-reports. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that the 
      independent predictors of overall RCT exercise across both conditions were past 
      exercise (beta = .36, p < .001), assignment to experimental condition (beta = 
      .34, p < .001), sex (beta = .30, p < .001), and intention (beta = .14, p < .10). 
      For exercise adherence in the exercise condition, the independent predictors were 
      sex (beta = .38, p < .01), extraversion (beta = .30, p < .05), normative beliefs 
      (beta = -.27, p < .05), and perceived behavioral control (beta = .23, p < .10). 
      Finally, the independent predictors of exercise contamination in the control 
      condition were past exercise (beta = .70, p < .001), sex (beta = .20, p < .05), 
      and intention (beta = .17, p < .10). We conclude that the correlates of exercise 
      adherence and contamination differ in kind as well as in degree. Explanations for 
      these findings and practical implications for conducting exercise RCTs in this 
      population are offered.
