To investigate the mediating role of sports learning interest and procrastination behavior between exercise self-efficacy and exercise participation among college students.
A questionnaire survey was conducted with 500 Chinese university students using the Physical Activity Rating Scale (PARS-3), the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale, the Sport Learning Interest Scale, and the Procrastination Behavior Scale.
Pearson correlation analysis showed that exercise self-efficacy, interest in sport learning, procrastination behavior and exercise participation were correlated with each other. The results of path analysis indicated that exercise self-efficacy was not a significant direct predictor of exercise participation. The results of mediation effects analysis indicated that sport learning interest and procrastination behavior fully mediated the relationship between exercise self-efficacy and exercise participation; the chain mediation effect of sport learning interest and procrastination behavior was significant. There were both separate mediating effects of sport learning interest and procrastination behavior between exercise self-efficacy and exercise participation, and a chain mediating effect that influenced procrastination behavior through sport learning interest, which in turn influenced exercise participation.
Increased exercise self-efficacy promotes individual interest in sport learning, which leads to a decrease in procrastination and an increase in exercise participation.
探讨体育学习兴趣和拖延行为在大学生运动自我效能感与运动参与之间的中介作用。
采用体育活动等级量表（PARS - 3）、运动自我效能量表、体育学习兴趣量表和拖延行为量表，对500名中国大学生进行问卷调查。
Pearson相关分析表明，运动自我效能感、体育学习兴趣、拖延行为和运动参与之间相互关联。路径分析结果表明，运动自我效能感不是运动参与的显著直接预测因素。中介效应分析结果表明，体育学习兴趣和拖延行为完全中介了运动自我效能感与运动参与之间的关系；体育学习兴趣和拖延行为的链式中介效应显著。体育学习兴趣和拖延行为在运动自我效能感与运动参与之间既有单独的中介效应，又有通过体育学习兴趣影响拖延行为进而影响运动参与的链式中介效应。
运动自我效能感的提高促进个体对体育学习的兴趣，进而导致拖延行为减少和运动参与增加。
