Previous studies have revealed associations between lifestyle factors and well-being. However, few studies have examined these relationships within a network framework that accounts for their interconnections. The present study utilized network analysis to explore the promoting and inhibiting effects of various lifestyle behaviors on well-being.
Using convenience sampling, we surveyed 1,542 college students from seven universities in southern China between July and August 2023. We employed a network model to examine the structure of restorative behaviors (healthy eating and physical activity), deteriorative behaviors (alcohol consumption, cigarette use, and screen time), and well-being (psychological, social, and emotional well-being). This study explored the protective and risk effects of various restorative and deteriorative behaviors on well-being.
The results revealed that healthy eating was positively associated with psychological well-being (PWB; edge weight = 0.14), social well-being (SWB; edge weight = 0.05), and emotional well-being (EWB; edge weight = 0.09); physical activity was positively associated with PWB (edge weight = 0.04), and SWB (edge weight = 0.04); screen time was negatively associated with SWB (edge weight = -0.04). Healthy eating (bridge expected influence = 1.48) was identified as essential bridge nodes in maintaining the structure of the network.
The present study offered a new perspective on the relationship between lifestyle behaviors and well-being using network analysis for the first time. These findings offer preliminary insights for public health strategies aimed at improving students' well-being.
以往研究揭示了生活方式因素与幸福感之间的关联。然而，很少有研究在考虑到这些因素相互联系的网络框架内检验这些关系。本研究利用网络分析来探究各种生活方式行为对幸福感的促进和抑制作用。
采用便利抽样法，于2023年7月至8月对中国南方七所大学的1542名大学生进行了调查。我们采用网络模型来检验恢复性行（健康饮食和体育活动）、恶化性行（饮酒、吸烟和屏幕使用时间）以及幸福感（心理、社会和情感幸福感）的结构。本研究探讨了各种恢复性和恶化性行对幸福感的保护和风险作用。
结果显示，健康饮食与心理幸福感（PWB；边权重 = 0.14）、社会幸福感（SWB；边权重 = 0.05）和情感幸福感（EWB；边权重 = 0.09）呈正相关；体育活动与PWB（边权重 = 0.04）和SWB（边权重 = 0.04）呈正相关；屏幕使用时间与SWB呈负相关（边权重 = -0.04）。健康饮食（桥梁预期影响 = 1.48）被确定为维持网络结构的关键桥梁节点。
本研究首次使用网络分析为生活方式行为与幸福感之间的关系提供了新视角。这些发现为旨在提高学生幸福感的公共卫生策略提供了初步见解。
