A Study Of The Effects And Mediating Effects Of Basketball Sports Intervention On Aggressive Behavior Of College Students

Objective:This study investigated the relationship between basketball and college students’ self-efficacy,self-control and aggression by taking basketball intervention experiments,fitted the model that self-control and self-efficacy play a chain mediating role between sports intervention and aggression,and provided reference for research related to aggression.Methods:A convenience sample of 89 students from a university in Yangzhou City was used as experimental subjects,divided into an experimental group（26 female and 30 male）and a control group（30 female and 22 male）,and the experimental group was given a basketball exercise intervention of moderate intensity（excluding preparation activities and stretching and relaxation）twice a week for 12 weeks;the control group was given no exercise intervention and other activities The control group had no exercise intervention and other activities were consistent with the experimental group.The Self-Control Scale for College Students,the Aggressive Behavior Scale for College Students,and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used as group measures before and after the experimental intervention,respectively.Results:（1）After the 12-week basketball sports intervention,the post-test levels of aggressive behavior,the post-test levels of self-efficacy,and the post-test levels of self-control were significantly lower（P<0.05）and higher（P<0.05）than the pre-test among college students.（2）Basketball sports intervention can not only directly affect college students’ aggressive behavior,but also indirectly affect interpersonal skills through three pathways:basketball sports intervention→self-efficacy→aggressive behavior,basketball sports intervention→self-control→aggressive behavior,and basketball sports intervention→self-efficacy→self-control→aggressive behavior.Their mediating effects accounted for 52.38%,9.52%,and 19.04%,respectively.Conclusion:（1）Basketball sports can reduce college students’ aggressive behaviors and enhance their self-efficacy and self-control.（2）Basketball intervention can directly reduce college students’ aggressive behaviors and also reduce aggressive behaviors by enhancing individual self-efficacy and self-control,and self-efficacy and self-control play a chain mediating role between basketball and aggressive behaviors.
