The present study examined whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between family social influence and physical activity among youth who have experienced a recent lapse in their physical activity participation. Using a prospective, longitudinal design, participants completed measures of social influence, self-regulatory efficacy and physical activity. Only those participants whose physical activity declined were retained for further analysis. Self-regulatory efficacy partially mediated the relationship between family social influence and physical activity, with self-efficacy mediating 36 percent of the total effect. The results provide support for self-regulatory efficacy as a mediator and provide preliminary insight into the potential mechanisms for preventing lapses in activity from developing into prolonged periods of inactivity within this population.
本研究探讨了自我效能感是否在近期体育活动参与度出现下降的青少年中,介导了家庭社会影响与体育活动之间的关系。采用前瞻性纵向设计,参与者完成了社会影响、自我调节效能感和体育活动的测量。仅保留那些体育活动水平下降的参与者进行进一步分析。自我调节效能感部分介导了家庭社会影响与体育活动之间的关系,自我效能感介导了总效应的36%。研究结果支持了自我调节效能感作为中介变量的作用,并初步揭示了在该人群中防止活动中断发展为长期不活动的潜在机制。
