Temporal Discounting and its Effect on exercise behavior in elders Linda M. Tate, PhD, APrN
I’m never going to do research • It starts with a passion to LEARN and possibly CHANGE something that you feel could be better • EXPLORE • COMMUNICATE • SHARE • DISCUSS • MAKE A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE (DO THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE)
Background • In the USA, 2020 the over 65 group will grow by 18% • 80% of person >65 have at least one chronic illness • As this number rises so will the rates of chronic illness • Exercise is one of the most important health behaviors to prevent chronic disease and disability in elders • Elders need to increase exercise participation and healthcare providers must understand how to successfully engage them
Significance • Multiple studies have looked at exercise in elders • The Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) has been used as a guide for multiple research inquiries and is a good predictor but does not take into account time • Measuring Delay(Temporal) Discounting along with the model will give us a temporal (time) concept and may add to the predictability of the TPB
Knowledge gap • Gaps in the literature exist regarding exercise in elders and temporal discounting • Only two studies were found that addressed temporal discounting in elders • No published studies that included temporal discounting and the TPB
Conceptual framework • Use the TBP as a conceptual guide to measure attitudes, subjective norm, perceived control, and intention • Measure temporal discounting along side the model to investigate possible effects on exercise behavior and the prediction of exercise

Specific aims • Determine if additional variable, discounting rate, affects the predictability of the TPB among elders. • Determine if discounting rates vary between exercising and non-exercising elders.
Methods • Cross sectional design with 137 community dwelling elders (60 years of age or older) • Little to no cognitive impairment based on the Six-item Memory Screener (Score of 4 or greater) • Must be able to exercise based on the (EASY) tool • Recruited from 11 churches in rural Arkansas • Church leaders were contacted and permission was obtained to attend older adult bible studies • Initial meeting, informational handouts were given and the study was explained • Second meeting, potential participants were screened and those eligible completed the remaining questionnaires • The number of Non-exercisers was obtained much quicker, then asking about exercise became part of the screening • 68 Exercisers and 69 Non-exercisers
Instruments • Six-item Memory Screener • Exercise and Screening for You (EASY) tool • Demographic form • Yale Physical Activity Survey (YPAS) • Fitness attitude scale • Expectations of others scale • Perceived behavioral control scale • Intention to exercise scale • Kirby Delay-discounting Monetary Choice Questionnaire (MCQ)
Analysis • Specific Aim # 1 • Determine if discounting rates affect the predictability of the TPB among elders • Path analysis • Specific Aim # 2 • Determine if discounting rates vary between exercising and non-exercising elders • t-test (Mann-Whitney), Correlation (Chi square), ANCOVA

findings Correlations with Temporal Discounting
REsults • T-test was used to compare discounting rates between exercisers and non-exercisers • t = 4.028, p = 0.000, 95% CI = (0.023, 0.069) • Mann-Whitney was used to compare discounting rates between exercisers and non-exercisers • W = 1679, p = 0.004 • ANCOVA was used to control for covariates • Mean discounting rates was 3.32 times higher for non-exercisers (95% CI 1.90, 5.93, p < 0.001)
Limitations • Scales for measurement • Purposive sampling • Generalizability
Implications • Reinforcement of TPB for exercise prediction • Focus on overlap of temporal discounting and behavioral intention for future studies • Non-exercising adults that discount at higher rates may require different strategies or rewards for participating in exercise behavior • Future research on discovering rewards that work • Other methods
