Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients between the health behavior motivation scale (HBMS) subscales and different dimensions of AI23 and SSPP, Study 2.

HBMS subscales	AI23 subscales		SSPP subscales
	Health aspiration	Intrinsic aspiration	Promotion orientation	Prevention orientation	Motivation strength
Intrinsic regulation	0.493**	0.323**	0.336**	0.108*	0.227**
Identified and integrated regulation	0.427**	0.187**	0.325**	0.151**	0.177**
Introjected regulation	0.292**	0.168**	0.134**	0.272**	−0.039
External regulation	−0.048	−0.146**	−0.079	0.214**	−0.175**
Amotivation	−0.174**	−0.245**	−0.218**	0.035	−0.295**

^** p < 0.01;

^*p < 0.05 (one tailed); intrinsic aspiration coefficients are Rho-Spearman, all the other coefficients are r-Pearson.
