Parents influence their children's behavior. We examined parental influence on youth participation in physical activity (PA) in- and out-of-school, directly and/or indirectly, via self-efficacy beliefs and enjoyment of PA.
Cross-sectional analyses using self-reported data from 595 youth (Mage = 13.4 years).
A path model linking youth perceptions of parental support and parental control to their participation in PA indirectly via self-efficacy beliefs and enjoyment of PA provided good fit to the data: χ(2)(7) = 27.63; RMSEA = .07 [90%CI = .04, .10]; CFI = .98; SRMR = .04. Perceived parental control was negatively associated with youth self-efficacy beliefs (β = -.12, p = .01) and enjoyment of PA (β = -.15, p = .01). Perceived tangible parental support was positively associated with self-efficacy beliefs (β = .28, p < .01) and enjoyment of PA (β = .13, p < .01), and perceived intangible parental support was positively associated with enjoyment of PA (β = .18, p = .04). Self-efficacy beliefs and enjoyment of PA were positively associated with participation in PA in- and out-of-school (β = .11-.27, p ≤ .01).
Interventions targeting parents to promote PA warrant investigation.
父母会影响孩子的行为。我们研究了父母通过自我效能信念和对体育活动的喜爱,直接和/或间接地对青少年在校内外参与体育活动(PA)的影响。
采用来自595名青少年(平均年龄 = 13.4岁)的自我报告数据进行横断面分析。
一个路径模型将青少年对父母支持和父母控制的认知,通过自我效能信念和对体育活动的喜爱,间接与他们参与体育活动联系起来,该模型与数据拟合良好:卡方(2)(7) = 27.63;近似均方根误差(RMSEA)= 0.07 [90%置信区间 = 0.04, 0.10];比较拟合指数(CFI)= 0.98;标准化残差均方根(SRMR)= 0.04。感知到的父母控制与青少年的自我效能信念呈负相关(β = -0.12,p = 0.01)以及与对体育活动的喜爱呈负相关(β = -0.15,p = 0.01)。感知到的父母实际支持与自我效能信念呈正相关(β = 0.28,p < 0.01)以及与对体育活动的喜爱呈正相关(β = 0.13,p < 0.01),并且感知到的父母无形支持与对体育活动的喜爱呈正相关(β = 0.18,p = 0.04)。自我效能信念和对体育活动的喜爱与在校内外参与体育活动呈正相关(β = 0.11 - 0.27,p ≤ 0.01)。
针对父母促进体育活动的干预措施值得研究。
