OverviewAI-generated summary
Anqi Deng investigates motivational mechanisms underlying physical activity in adolescents, particularly focusing on underserved youth. Her research examines how social support, social affiliation, and intrinsic motivation contribute to increasing physical activity levels. Deng's work also explores the relationship between occupational stress and physical activity among staff in afterschool programs, with motivation acting as a mediating factor. She has investigated cognitive load and energy balance knowledge in high-school physical education settings, studying how tasks with varying cognitive demands influence in-class physical activity. Her scholarship includes developing and validating scales for measuring social motivational orientations in sports. Deng holds a h-index of 6 with 24 total publications and 66 total citations.
