The theory of motivation suggests that individual motivation is moderately stimulated to drive individuals to engage in the behaviors for which they are motivated. It is therefore that the moderate stimulation of exercise motivation will likely lead to the enhancement of college students' participation in exercise.
Investigate the effect of exercise motivation on college students' self-efficacy, reveal the mediating role of leisure satisfaction and mental toughness, and provide empirical evidence improving college students' self-efficacy through exercise motivation.
A stratified whole-sample approach was employed to survey 715 college students, based on a correlation table with good reliability and validity. Scale items were designed to collect subjects' exercise motivation, self-efficacy, leisure satisfaction, and mental toughness in the study context. Mediation effect analyses were carried out using SPSS and AMOS.
A significant positive effect of exercise motivation on self-efficacy ( = 0.18, < 0.001), leisure satisfaction ( = 0.50, < 0.001), and mental toughness ( = 0.45, < 0.001). Leisure satisfaction and mental toughness had a significant positive effect on self-efficacy ( = 0.40, < 0.001; = 0.30, < 0.001). Furthermore, leisure satisfaction and mental toughness significantly mediated in exercise motivation and self-efficacy. In conclusion, our findings further explored the effects of exercise motivation on college students' self-efficacy and revealed the mediating roles of leisure satisfaction and mental toughness.
动机理论表明,个体动机受到适度刺激会促使个体参与其有动机去做的行为。因此,适度激发运动动机可能会增强大学生的运动参与度。
探讨运动动机对大学生自我效能感的影响,揭示休闲满意度和心理韧性的中介作用,并为通过运动动机提高大学生自我效能感提供实证依据。
采用分层整样本方法对715名大学生进行调查,所依据的相关量表具有良好的信效度。在研究中设计量表项目以收集受试者的运动动机、自我效能感、休闲满意度和心理韧性。使用SPSS和AMOS进行中介效应分析。
运动动机对自我效能感(β = 0.18,p < 0.001)、休闲满意度(β = 0.50,p < 0.001)和心理韧性(β = 0.45,p < 0.001)有显著正向影响。休闲满意度和心理韧性对自我效能感有显著正向影响(β = 0.40,p < 0.001;β = 0.30,p < 0.001)。此外,休闲满意度和心理韧性在运动动机与自我效能感之间起显著中介作用。总之,我们的研究结果进一步探讨了运动动机对大学生自我效能感的影响,并揭示了休闲满意度和心理韧性的中介作用。
