Using a multi-method design, female (N = 308) and male (N = 131) undergraduate and graduate students at a large Midwestern university completed a validated TPB and exercise survey. Interested undergraduate and graduate students then participated in focus groups with questions relating to the TPB constructs. Results included that the TPB constructs of subjective norms and perceived control were significantly different within females and within males for exercise and group exercise as well as between females and males for exercise and group exercise. The construct of attitude was not significantly different for females or males. It can be concluded from the present study that gender, in terms of subjective norms and perceived control, related to exercise preference and actual behavior.
