The study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of exercising self-efficacy on physical education learning engagement through mediator flow experience.
Based on a questionnaire survey, using the Exercise Self-efficacy Scale, Flow Experience Scale, and Physical Education Learning Engagement Scale, a survey was conducted among 568 university students from five universities in Guangdong Province, China.
① There were significant positive correlations between exercise self-efficacy, flow experience, and physical education learning engagement; ② Exercise self-efficacy positively influenced physical education learning engagement; ③ Flow experience played a mediating role between exercise self-efficacy and physical education learning engagement.
This study fills the theoretical gap of flow experience application in the context of physical education, and uses the variable of exercise self-efficacy, which combines individual self-efficacy with the field of physical exercise, to enhance the depth and strength of explanation and prediction. The findings of this study contribute to physical education instructors' understanding of the psychological mechanisms at play in college students' physical education learning process. Additionally, the examination of the pivotal mediating role of flow experience offers fresh perspectives for enhancing the efficacy of physical education instruction.
本研究旨在通过中介变量心流体验来考察运动自我效能感对体育学习投入的直接和间接影响。
基于问卷调查，使用运动自我效能量表、心流体验量表和体育学习投入量表，对来自中国广东省五所大学的568名大学生进行了调查。
①运动自我效能感、心流体验和体育学习投入之间存在显著的正相关；②运动自我效能感对体育学习投入有正向影响；③心流体验在运动自我效能感和体育学习投入之间起中介作用。
本研究填补了心流体验在体育背景下应用的理论空白，并使用运动自我效能感这一变量，将个体自我效能感与体育锻炼领域相结合，增强了解释和预测的深度与力度。本研究结果有助于体育教师理解大学生体育学习过程中的心理机制。此外，对心流体验关键中介作用的考察为提高体育教学效果提供了新的视角。
