Abstract
Physical exercise adherence (PEA) is multifaceted and significantly influenced by elements such as physical prowess, personality traits, psychosocial traits, and demographics. At present, there are problems such as the low degree of PEA in college students. Studies have shown that exercise adherence (EA) can be improved by adjusting psychological factors. Social abilities are one of the important manifestations of mental health, so this study aims to explore the intrinsic influence mechanism of social abilities on college students' PEA. Shanghai Sports University consistently ranks first among Chinese institutions that specialize in sports in the list of the best Chinese institutions. Therefore, this study decided to survey Shanghai University students. Valid data were collected from 1278 students from 6 universities in Shanghai using a questionnaire survey method. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression analysis technique was utilized in the study. The study has shown that (1) boys have stronger social abilities than girls; (2) the exercise attitude and exercise persistence of junior students are better than those of freshmen and sophomores; (3) social abilities, emotion regulation strategies, exercise needs satisfaction, exercise attitude, and EA were significantly positively associated with each other. Emotion regulation strategies and exercise attitude had a negative predictive effect on PEA, and exercise needs satisfaction and social abilities had a significant predictive effect on exercise adherence. (4) Exercise needs satisfaction and exercise attitude were used as mediating variables to regulate the influence of college students' social abilities on EA.
体育锻炼依从性(PEA)是多方面的,受体能、个性特征、社会心理特征和人口统计学等因素的显著影响。目前,大学生的体育锻炼依从性较低等问题时有发生。研究表明,可以通过调整心理因素来提高运动依从性(EA)。社交能力是心理健康的重要表现之一,因此本研究旨在探讨社交能力对大学生 PEA 的内在影响机制。在中国最佳院校排行榜中,上海体育大学一直位居中国体育专业院校之首。因此,本研究决定对上海大学的学生进行调查。本研究采用问卷调查法,从上海 6 所高校的 1278 名学生中收集了有效数据。研究采用了普通最小二乘法(OLS)回归分析技术。研究结果表明:(1) 男生的社交能力强于女生;(2) 大三学生的运动态度和运动持久性优于大一和大二学生;(3) 社交能力、情绪调节策略、运动需求满足度、运动态度和 EA 呈显著正相关。情绪调节策略和运动态度对 PEA 有负向预测作用,运动需求满意度和社交能力对运动坚持性有明显的预测作用。(4)以运动需求满意度和运动态度为中介变量,调节大学生社交能力对 EA 的影响。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities reports on the scholarly progress of work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate health disparities based on race and ethnicity. Efforts to explore underlying causes of health disparities and to describe interventions that have been undertaken to address racial and ethnic health disparities are featured. Promising studies that are ongoing or studies that have longer term data are welcome, as are studies that serve as lessons for best practices in eliminating health disparities. Original research, systematic reviews, and commentaries presenting the state-of-the-art thinking on problems centered on health disparities will be considered for publication. We particularly encourage review articles that generate innovative and testable ideas, and constructive discussions and/or critiques of health disparities.Because the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities receives a large number of submissions, about 30% of submissions to the Journal are sent out for full peer review.
