Engaging in physical activity has been demonstrated to enhance cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength, bone health, and cardiometabolic health. However, it is concerning that more than 80% of students globally do not meet the recommended standard of at least 1 h of physical activity per day. It is imperative to enhance student involvement in physical activities.
This study aims to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence (EI) on undergraduate students' physical activity engagement (PAE), to elucidate the mediating role of achievement motivation (AM) and interpersonal relationships (IR).
A stratified whole-sample was used to survey 810 university students (19.84 ± 1.40 years). The scale items were designed to assess the participants' EI, PAE, AM, and IR based on the correlation scale. SPSS and AMOS were used to analyze the mediating effect.
The results demonstrated a positive effect of EI on AM and PAE ( = 0.29, < 0.001; = 0.28, < 0.001). Furthermore, AM was found to have a positive effect on PAE ( = 0.07, < 0.05). Notably, AM mediated between EI and PAE. In conclusion, our findings provide further insight into the effect of EI on undergraduate students' PAE, and reveal the mediating role of AM.
身体活动已被证明可以提高心肺健康、肌肉力量、骨骼健康和心血管代谢健康。然而，令人担忧的是，全球超过 80%的学生没有达到每天至少 1 小时身体活动的推荐标准。增强学生参与身体活动的积极性势在必行。
本研究旨在探讨情绪智力(EI)对大学生身体活动参与度(PAE)的影响，阐明成就动机(AM)和人际关系(IR)的中介作用。
采用分层整群抽样方法，对 810 名大学生(19.84 ± 1.40 岁)进行调查。根据相关量表设计了量表项目，以评估参与者的 EI、PAE、AM 和 IR。使用 SPSS 和 AMOS 分析中介效应。
结果表明，EI 对 AM 和 PAE 有正向影响( = 0.29， < 0.001； = 0.28， < 0.001)。此外，AM 对 PAE 也有正向影响( = 0.07， < 0.05)。值得注意的是，AM 在 EI 和 PAE 之间起中介作用。综上所述，本研究结果进一步探讨了 EI 对大学生 PAE 的影响，并揭示了 AM 的中介作用。
