METHOD:Arandomizedtrialwasconductedamong465Dutchadults,comparingthreewebbasedcomputer-tailoredPAinterventionsbasedonMI:1)includingexclusivelyopen-endedquestions, 2) including exclusively multiple choice questions, 3) including both multiplechoice questions and open-ended questions. Measurements included motivation-relateddeterminants of PA and process variables, measured at baseline, directly following the intervention and one month postintervention.
RESULT(S): Results suggest that open-ended questions represent an important element inweb-based MI in terms of effect on autonomous motivation and appreciation of theintervention.In order to optimizeappreciation of the intervention,a combination of bothopen-endedandmultiplechoicequestiontypesseemstoholdmostpromises.
