■大学生的心理健康(MH)长期以来一直是家庭关注的重点,教育机构,和社会。广泛的研究证明了运动动机在塑造MH中的重要作用。然而,有必要进一步调查,以确定哪些类型的运动动机可能对大学生的MH有更大的影响。本研究检查了五种不同类型的运动动机的直接影响,即健康动机(HM),外观动机(APM),有趣的动机(FM),能力动机(ABM),和MH上的社会动机(SM)。此外,该研究探讨了体育锻炼(PE)在这些关系中的潜在中介作用。
■采用横断面研究设计。共有433名中国大学生参与了这项研究,并完成了我们的调查问卷,其中包括运动动机量表(EM量表),体育锻炼量表(PE量表),和心理健康量表(MH量表)。
■研究结果揭示了所有五类运动动机与大学生MH之间的显着正相关关系。具体来说,发现FM对MH的影响最明显,其次是HM,ABM,SM,和APM,按影响力降序排列。此外,HM的影响,FM,ABM,发现MH上的SM部分由PE介导。然而,APM和MH之间的关联完全由PE介导。
■本研究有助于增强对与PE和MH相关的不同运动动机背后的潜在机制的理解。此外,它为制定改善大学生MH的干预策略提供了实践启示。
UNASSIGNED: The mental health (MH) of college students has long been a crucial concern for families, educational institutions, and society. Extensive research has demonstrated the influential role of exercise motivation in shaping MH. However, further investigation is warranted to ascertain which types of exercise motivation may have more influence on the MH of college students. The present study examined the direct effects of five distinct types of exercise motivation, namely health motivation (HM), appearance motivation (APM), fun motivation (FM), ability motivation (ABM), and social motivation (SM) on MH. Additionally, the study explored the potential mediating role of physical exercise (PE) in these relationships.
UNASSIGNED: An cross-sectional study design was employed. A total of 433 Chinese college students participated in the study and completed our questionnaires, which included the Exercise motivation scale (EM scale), the Physical exercise scale (PE scale), and the Mental health scale (MH scale).
UNASSIGNED: The findings revealed a significant and positive relationship between all five categories of exercise motivation and the MH of college students. Specifically, FM was found to have the most pronounced impact on MH, followed by HM, ABM, SM, and APM, in descending order of influence. Furthermore, the impacts of HM, FM, ABM, and SM on MH were found to be partially mediated by PE. However, the association between APM and MH was entirely mediated by PE.
UNASSIGNED: The present study contributes to enhancing the comprehension of the underlying mechanisms behind different exercise motivations in relation to PE and MH. Additionally, it offers practical implications for developing intervention strategies for improving the MH of college students.
