Individuals' engagement in sports and sport-related entertainment is reported to improve their subjective well-being (SWB). We investigated whether online video sport spectatorship (OVSS) enhances the SWB of college students and whether sport involvement moderates the correlation between OVSS and SWB. For this, a pretest-posttest experimental design with a 3-week-long intervention (OVSS) was adopted. Two groups, intervention and control, were formed. The findings revealed that OVSS improved SWB ( = 0.017). Furthermore, sport involvement moderated the correlation between OVSS and SWB ( = 0.024). Specifically, participants with high levels of sport involvement in the intervention group exhibited better SWB (M = 5.51) than did the corresponding controls (M = 4.69). By contrast, among participants with low levels of sport involvement, only the intervention group showed improved SWB; however, it remained unchanged in the control group. The present study enriches the relevant literature and provides empirical evidence for the psychological benefits conferred by OVSS. Our findings may serve as a reference for designing interventions aimed at improving individuals' overall quality of life.
个人参与体育运动和与运动相关的娱乐活动被认为可以提高他们的主观幸福感(SWB)。我们调查了在线观看视频体育赛事(OVSS)是否会提高大学生的 SWB,以及运动参与是否会调节 OVSS 和 SWB 之间的相关性。为此,我们采用了预测试-后测试实验设计,并进行了为期 3 周的干预(OVSS)。形成了两个组,干预组和对照组。研究结果表明,OVSS 提高了 SWB(=0.017)。此外,运动参与调节了 OVSS 和 SWB 之间的相关性(=0.024)。具体来说,在干预组中运动参与度高的参与者的 SWB 更好(M=5.51),而相应的对照组参与者的 SWB 则较差(M=4.69)。相比之下,在运动参与度较低的参与者中,只有干预组的 SWB 有所提高;然而,对照组的 SWB 没有变化。本研究丰富了相关文献,并为 OVSS 带来的心理益处提供了实证证据。我们的研究结果可以为旨在提高个人整体生活质量的干预措施设计提供参考。
