Parental and peer support has been documented as an important factor in physical activities among high school students. Likewise, coach support has an important impact on physical activity among high school students. Meanwhile, many studies show that basic psychological needs have an essential effect on perceived autonomy and physical activity. As such, this study, using self-determination theory, aimed to explore the mediating role of basic psychological needs on physical activity among high school students in China. The Sport Climate Questionnaire, Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale-Physical Activity, and the three-item Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 were employed to gauge responses from 736 high school students (15-18 years old). A structural equation model was employed to test the mediating effect. The researchers found a significant positive effect of perceived coach support on basic psychological need satisfaction. Basic psychological need satisfaction was also found to be a significant predictor of physical activity. Surprisingly, the results showed that perceived coach support negatively influences physical activity. As such, an indirect mediating effect is established. Basic psychological needs had an indirect mediating effect and could reduce the negative effect of coach support on physical activity engagement.
父母和同伴的支持已被证明是高中生体育活动的一个重要因素。同样，教练的支持对高中生的体育活动也有重要影响。同时，许多研究表明，基本心理需求对感知自主性和体育活动有至关重要的影响。因此，本研究运用自我决定理论，旨在探讨基本心理需求在中国高中生体育活动中的中介作用。采用运动氛围问卷、运动中心理需求满意度量表 - 体育活动以及三项体育活动评分量表 -3 对 736 名高中生（15 - 18 岁）的反应进行测量。采用结构方程模型来检验中介效应。研究人员发现，感知到的教练支持对基本心理需求满意度有显著的正向影响。基本心理需求满意度也被发现是体育活动的一个重要预测指标。令人惊讶的是，结果表明，感知到的教练支持对体育活动有负面影响。因此，建立了一个间接中介效应。基本心理需求具有间接中介效应，并且可以减少教练支持对体育活动参与的负面影响。
