Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Social anxiety symptoms are common and harmful psychological illness in college students. Although some studies have illustrated that physical activity could reduce social anxiety symptoms, the specific mechanism is still unclear. Based on theoretical studies on resilience and sleep, this study constructed a serial mediation model to explore whether they mediate between physical activity and social anxiety symptoms among college students.
METHODS: This study surveyed 9,530 college students from three colleges in China to explore the mediating effect of physical activity and sleep problems between physical activity and social anxiety symptoms. Participants were investigated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Sleep-related problems, and the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale and the Social Phobia Scale. Correlations between variables were analysed using Pearson correlation analysis and mediation analyses were performed using SPSS PROCESS macro 3.3 software.
RESULTS: The study found that physical activity was negatively associated with social anxiety symptoms and sleep problems, but positively with psychological resilience. After controlling for sociodemographic variables, physical activity can not only indirectly alleviate social anxiety symptoms through the separate mediation of psychological resilience and sleep problems, but also through the serial mediation of psychological resilience and sleep problems.
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that improving physical activity levels could reduce social anxiety scores by increasing psychological resilience and sleep quality. This is of great reference significance for the prevention and intervention of college students\' mental health.

摘要：
背景：社交焦虑症状是大学生常见且有害的心理疾病。尽管一些研究表明，体育锻炼可以减少社交焦虑症状，具体机制尚不清楚。基于复原力和睡眠的理论研究，本研究构建了一个系列中介模型，以探讨它们是否在体育活动和大学生社交焦虑症状之间起中介作用。
方法：本研究对来自中国三所高校的9530名大学生进行调查，探讨体育活动与睡眠问题在体育活动与社交焦虑症状之间的中介作用。参与者用国际身体活动问卷进行了调查，康纳-戴维森弹性量表，与睡眠有关的问题,社会交往焦虑量表和社交恐惧症量表。使用Pearson相关性分析分析变量之间的相关性，并使用SPSSPROCESS宏3.3软件进行中介分析。
结果：研究发现，体力活动与社交焦虑症状和睡眠问题呈负相关，但具有积极的心理韧性。在控制了社会人口统计学变量之后，身体活动不仅可以通过心理弹性和睡眠问题的单独调解间接缓解社交焦虑症状，而且还通过心理弹性和睡眠问题的系列调解。
结论：这些结果表明，提高身体活动水平可以通过提高心理弹性和睡眠质量来降低社交焦虑评分。这对大学生心理健康的预防和干预具有重要的借鉴意义。
