Results suggest that one pathway through which subjective caregiving experiences, especially negative caregiving appraisals, impact caregivers' physical activity goal pursuit is through future self-views. Thus, this study offers a deeper theoretical understanding of caregivers' self-regulatory health behavior and new empirical information on how caregiving might impact lifespan developmental motivation.
