A003: The Relationship Between Personal Values And Leisure-Time Exercise: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study, Guozhuang Chen, Chun Xie, Jiamei Liang, Kun Wang

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Although the benefits of exercise have been firmly established, numerous young people continue to engage in low levels of exercise. In studies of exercise behavior facilitators, exercise motivation has been mostly applied to eliciting an individual's exercise behavior. However, motivation is influenced by various factors and is unlikely to remain stable over time. Consequently, to ensure the sustained participation in exercise of young people, it’s significant to find more stable facilitators of exercise behaviors. This study, grounded in the "self-determined theory" and Schwartz’s personal values model, begins by focusing on a more stable behavioral determinant, personality—personal values—to provide a deeper …

The Tribal Rules Of Evidence, Nicole Morote

American Indian Law Journal

Rules of evidence shape litigation practice across the country. In this sense, they govern the truth as it enters the court. Legal scholarship has yet to study tribal approaches to evidence— an area with tremendous promise for legal practitioners and evidence rulemakers alike.

This Article is the first to do so. It analyzes an array of tribal evidence codes across the United States. It reveals three frameworks that describe tribes’ approaches to the Federal Rules. In doing so, it offers a modest contribution to the nascent intersection between Tribal law and evidence studies: crucial insight into tribal systems’ unique needs, …
