The aim of the present study was to examine the impact of the changes in physical self-concept induced by exercise participation on the changes in global self-esteem and mental well-being using a structural model analysis. A total of 189 university students in Seoul, Korea, participated in the present study for two waves. The participants responded through a survey measuring physical self-concept, self-esteem, and mental well-being before and after a six-week exercise course. Regression analysis was used to calculate the amount of change in each variable, and the calculated residual scores were used for correlation analysis and structural model analysis. The amounts of changes in the variables are significantly correlated with each other and there was a complementary mediating effect of the changes in self-esteem on the pathway from the changes in physical self-concept to the changes in mental well-being. Physical self-concept changed by exercise participation might directly and positively influence mental well-being, and it can indirectly influence the changes in mental well-being via the improvement of self-esteem.
本研究旨在通过结构模型分析，考察运动参与引起的身体自我概念变化对整体自尊和心理健康变化的影响。韩国首尔的 189 名大学生参与了本研究的两个阶段。参与者通过一项调查在参加为期六周的运动课程前后测量了身体自我概念、自尊和心理健康。回归分析用于计算每个变量的变化量，计算得到的残差分数用于相关分析和结构模型分析。变量的变化量之间存在显著的相关性，并且自尊的变化在身体自我概念变化与心理健康变化之间具有补充中介效应。运动参与引起的身体自我概念的变化可能直接积极地影响心理健康，并且可以通过自尊的提高间接地影响心理健康的变化。
