This study, called eMOTION, is looking at how our automatic feelings and thoughts (implicit attitudes) about physical activity can be changed. It's testing a behavioral intervention called "Physical Activity Goals mHealth Intervention" along with two optional enhancements: "TYPE/CONTEXT enhancement" and "SAVOR enhancement." These interventions aim to help inactive adults who are overweight or obese become more physically active. The study will measure changes in implicit attitudes daily for several weeks to see if these changes lead to more physical activity. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, live in the US, have a BMI of 25 or higher, exercise less than 60 minutes per week, own a smartphone, have internet access, and are willing to start an exercise program. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
