As a major public health problem globally, negative risk-taking behavior of college students may be related to their ostracism experience, but the reason for this association is unclear. Based on the limited resource theory, combined with the integrative model of athletic performance, we tested a moderated mediation model in which ego depletion mediated the association between ostracism and risk-taking, and physical exercise moderated the mediation process to examine the mechanisms underlying the association between ostracism and negative risk-taking behavior.
One thousand three hundred seven students (43% female) from four universities in China were recruited using cluster random sampling. The experience of being ostracized, ego depletion, physical exercise level, and negative risk-taking behavior were measured through an anonymous online questionnaire in "www.sojump.com."
After controlling for gender and grade in college, ostracism was positively related to negative risk-taking behavior; ego depletion mediated this relationship; and physical exercise level attenuated these direct and indirect relationships.
The results highlight individual risk and protective factors associated with negative risk-taking behavior, and provide new perspectives on ways to prevent and reduce college students' negative risk-taking behavior.
作为全球主要的公共卫生问题，大学生的消极冒险行为可能与其被排斥经历有关，但这种关联的原因尚不清楚。基于有限资源理论，结合运动表现的整合模型，我们测试了一个有调节的中介模型，其中自我损耗在被排斥与冒险行为之间起中介作用，体育锻炼调节这一中介过程，以检验被排斥与消极冒险行为之间关联的潜在机制。
采用整群随机抽样法，从中国四所大学招募了1307名学生（43%为女性）。通过“www.sojump.com”上的匿名在线问卷测量被排斥经历、自我损耗、体育锻炼水平和消极冒险行为。
在控制了性别和大学年级后，被排斥与消极冒险行为呈正相关；自我损耗介导了这种关系；体育锻炼水平减弱了这些直接和间接关系。
研究结果突出了与消极冒险行为相关的个体风险因素和保护因素，并为预防和减少大学生消极冒险行为的方法提供了新视角。
