mechanism to affective priming. They reasoned that presentation of a valenced prime should “activate any associated evaluations and, hence, facilitate a related judgement” ( Fazio, 2001 , p. 116). Thus, when a person is confronted with a prime associated with a positive valence (e.g., happy face), it is

Models employed in exercise psychology highlight the role of reflective processes for explaining behavior change. However, as discussed in social cognition literature, information-processing models also consider automatic processes (dual-process models). To examine the relevance of automatic processing in exercise psychology, we used a priming task to assess the automatic evaluations of exercise stimuli in physically active sport and exercise majors (n = 32), physically active nonsport majors (n = 31), and inactive students (n = 31). Results showed that physically active students responded faster to positive words after exercise primes, whereas inactive students responded more rapidly to negative words. Priming task reaction times were successfully used to predict reported amounts of exercise in an ordinal regression model. Findings were obtained only with experiential items reflecting negative and positive consequences of exercise. The results illustrate the potential importance of dual-process models in exercise psychology.

Thus, the stronger the activation of positive targets relative to negative targets following exercise primes (i
