Abstract

The college years are a critical period for students to adopt and strengthen health behaviors, such as physical activity (PA), that support their physical and mental health. This exploratory study examines the relationship between students' perceptions of a caring and task-involving climate (CTIC) at their campus recreation center (CRC) to their feelings of thriving, effort, and enjoyment. Students (N = 161) at a large Midwestern university volunteered to complete a brief survey. A canonical correlation analysis indicated students' perceptions of a CTIC were significantly and positively related to thriving (vitality and learning), effort, and enjoyment. Although future research is needed to further examine thriving in PA settings, the construct may be key in understanding college students' experiences at CRCs and the benefits that may result from experiencing a supportive environment, allowing individuals to focus on their personal effort and improvement as measures of success.

大学生对校园娱乐中心氛围的感知与体育活动的关系
大学期间是学生采取和加强健康行为的关键时期,如体育活动,以支持他们的身心健康。这项探索性研究考察了学生在校园娱乐中心(CRC)对关爱和任务氛围(CTIC)的感知与他们的成长、努力和享受感之间的关系。中西部一所大型大学的学生(N=161)自愿完成了一项简短的调查。典型相关分析表明,学生对CTIC的感知与茁壮成长(活力和学习)、努力和享受显著正相关。尽管未来的研究需要进一步检验在PA环境中的蓬勃发展,但这一结构可能是理解大学生在CRC的经历以及体验支持性环境可能带来的好处的关键,使个人能够专注于个人的努力和进步,以此作为衡量成功的标准。
