Dr. Buckworth conducts research on exercise adherence and the psychobiology of exercise and mental health. She is the co-author of Exercise Psychology (2002) with Dr. R.K. Dishman. Dr. Buckworth was the Principal Investigator on an NIH-funded study to explain and predict exercise adherence in college students use the Transtheoretical Model. Some current projects include exercise and depression, increasing adherence to walking in women, and the relationship between motivation, self-efficacy, and exercise. Graduate student research projects target the psychological and physiological correlates and consequences of acute and chronic physical activity. Examples include the application of the Transtheoretical Model to exercise; the influence of personality on behavior change strategies; defining intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for exercise; psychosocial characteristics of runners; and the effects of preferred exertion on mood and enjoyment in depressed women.
