ABSTRACT:
The purposes of this research were to determine if runners experience greater dysphoria on NO RUN days compared to RUN days, and to test the Sachs and Pargman model of runners' motivation. The model involves the variables Commitment (cognitive/intellectual motivation) and Dependence (psychobiologic motivation). Levels of High and Low Commitment and Dependence define runner groups: A,B,C,& D. The 61 runners completing the Profile of Mood States on ten RUN days and 2-5 NO RUN days showed more dysphoria on all dependent measures on NO RUN days. Fifty-nine of these subjects were then tested to see if RUN / NO RUN mood state changes were a function of Commitment, Dependence or runner group. Neither Commitment nor Dependence alone were found to be associated with changes in mood state. Suprisingly, Group A, the addicted runner (High Commitment, High Dependence) was the least withdrawal prone. Group B runners (Low Commitment, High Dependence) were the most withdrawal prone.
