This paper investigates the relationship between physical activity and depressed mood, under conditions of family conflict. We analyze data from a representative sample of 7,232 Icelandic adolescents. Analysis of variance was carried out to test for main and interaction effects. The study shows that while family conflict increases the likelihood of depressed mood, among adolescents, physical activity decreases the likelihood of depressed mood. Furthermore, physical activity plays a more important role among those adolescents living in aversive circumstances, than other adolescents, as family conflict and physical activity interact in the effect on depressed mood for adolescents living in such circumstances. The findings highlight the role of physical activity in decreasing mental distress among adolescents, especially those living in aversive circumstances at home.
本研究探讨了家庭冲突背景下，身体活动与抑郁情绪之间的关系。我们分析了来自 7232 名冰岛青少年的代表性样本数据。采用方差分析检验主效应和交互效应。研究表明，家庭冲突会增加青少年抑郁情绪的可能性，而身体活动则会降低抑郁情绪的可能性。此外，在家庭冲突对处于不利环境中的青少年的抑郁情绪产生影响方面，身体活动发挥了更为重要的作用，因为身体活动与家庭冲突之间存在交互效应。这些发现凸显了身体活动在降低青少年心理困扰方面的作用，尤其是对那些在家中处于不利环境的青少年。
