Global COVID-19 lockdown measures have led to an apparent decrease in physical activity. This study aimed to explore the explanatory function of self-control's mediating role between self-efficacy and physical activity among college students. The analysis used the data of 1627 university students (aged 19.41 ± 0.66, range 17-28, 40.5% males) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Self-efficacy, self-control, and physical activity were tested, respectively, by the general self-efficacy scale, the new brief self-control scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) scale, which were analyzed by SPSS software. Correlation analysis showed that self-efficacy, self-control, and physical activity were related in pairs. Comparing the two dimensions of self-control, we found that self-discipline mediated the relationship between self-efficacy and PA, and impulse control did not mediate the relationship. Regarding the gender difference according to multi-group analysis, findings showed that females need higher self-discipline from the path of self-efficacy to physical activity improvement than males.
全球范围内的 COVID-19 封锁措施导致人们的身体活动明显减少。本研究旨在探讨自我效能感和身体活动之间的关系,以及自我控制在其中的中介作用。分析使用了上海交通大学 1627 名大学生(年龄 19.41±0.66 岁,范围 17-28 岁,40.5%为男性)的数据。分别采用一般自我效能感量表、新的简明自我控制量表和国际体力活动问卷(IPAQ)量表对自我效能感、自我控制和体力活动进行测试,采用 SPSS 软件进行分析。相关分析表明,自我效能感、自我控制和体力活动两两相关。比较自我控制的两个维度,发现自律在自我效能感和 PA 之间起中介作用,而冲动控制不起中介作用。关于多组分析的性别差异,研究结果表明,与男性相比,女性从自我效能感到身体活动改善的路径需要更高的自律。
