To explore the impact of exercise self-efficacy on college students' emotion management ability and to analyze the mediating effects of exercise behavior and screen media use between exercise self-efficacy and emotion management ability.
This study adopted stratified, whole-cluster, and staged sampling methods, using an online questionnaire that included demographic information, exercise self-efficacy, exercise behavior, screen media use, and other relevant aspects, obtaining a total of 12,687 valid questionnaires.
The study indicated a significant positive correlation between exercise self-efficacy and emotion management ability ( = 0.349, < 0.01). There was also a positive correlation between physical exercise and emotion management ability ( = 0.128, < 0.01). In contrast, smartphone use showed a significant negative correlation with emotion management ability ( = -0.102, < 0.01). Additionally, exercise persistence and electronic health literacy presented significant positive correlations with emotion management ability ( = 0.370, < 0.01; = 0.502, < 0.01). Chain-mediated effect analysis revealed that exercise self-efficacy positively affected emotion management ability by enhancing physical exercise and reducing smartphone use (95% : [0.001, 0.002]). Furthermore, exercise self-efficacy positively influenced emotion management ability by enhancing exercise persistence and e-health literacy (95% : [0.029, 0.042]). These two variables acted as chain mediators, demonstrating the pathways through which exercise self-efficacy affects emotion management ability.
This study deepened the understanding of the interplay between exercise behavior, screen media use, and emotion management ability. It suggested that emotion management ability could be enhanced through strategies of improving exercise persistence, physical exercise, electronic health literacy, and reducing smartphone use while considering differences in gender, academic year, and regional factors in intervention programs.
探讨运动自我效能感对大学生情绪管理能力的影响，并分析运动行为和屏幕媒体使用在运动自我效能感与情绪管理能力之间的中介作用。
本研究采用分层、整群、阶段抽样方法，采用在线问卷，包括人口统计学信息、运动自我效能感、运动行为、屏幕媒体使用等方面，共获得 12687 份有效问卷。
研究表明，运动自我效能感与情绪管理能力呈显著正相关（ = 0.349， < 0.01）。身体锻炼与情绪管理能力呈正相关（ = 0.128， < 0.01）。相比之下，智能手机使用与情绪管理能力呈显著负相关（ = -0.102， < 0.01）。此外，运动坚持和电子健康素养与情绪管理能力呈显著正相关（ = 0.370， < 0.01； = 0.502， < 0.01）。链式中介效应分析表明，运动自我效能感通过增强身体锻炼和减少智能手机使用来积极影响情绪管理能力（95%：[0.001，0.002]）。此外，运动自我效能感通过增强运动坚持和电子健康素养来积极影响情绪管理能力（95%：[0.029，0.042]）。这两个变量作为链式中介，展示了运动自我效能感影响情绪管理能力的途径。
本研究深化了对运动行为、屏幕媒体使用和情绪管理能力之间相互作用的理解。研究表明，通过提高运动坚持度、身体锻炼、电子健康素养和减少智能手机使用等策略，可以增强情绪管理能力，同时考虑干预计划中性别、年级和地区因素的差异。
