Table 1 Overview of the self-regulation techniques implemented in the MyDayPlan app
Self-regulation Technique | Implementation mode |
|---|---|
Goal setting | Participants set a step goal each morning. |
Action planning | Participants select or formulate specific actions to achieve their step goal. |
Barrier identification/problem solving (=coping planning) | Participants select and/or formulate specific barriers and possible solutions to overcome these barriers. |
Self-monitoring of behaviour | Participants can monitor their steps using the Fitbit activity tracker. |
Prompting review of behavioural goals | Participants reflect on whether they achieved their step goal or not. They also reflect on what helped to achieve the goal or on what hindered them not to reach their goal. |
