The Influence Of College Students' Exercise Self-efficacy On Sports Participation: The Mediating Role Of Sports Motivation And Exercise Effect Cognitio

Research purposes: The physical fitness and health level of college students is declining year by year,which will have a serious impact on the production and life of college students.Using the perspective of social psychology,this study investigates the direct factors that affect the physical health of college students—college students’ sports participation,explores the relationship between exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,exercise effect cognition and sports participation,and explores the ways to improve college students’ sports participation.The path aims to put forward reasonable guidance and suggestions for improving college students’ participation in sports.Research significance: 1)To explore the changing rules of college students’ sports participation;2)To explore the mechanism and influence path of exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,and exercise effect cognition on exercise participation;3)To predict the changes of college students’ exercise participation under different variable levels 4)To provide corresponding theoretical basis for revealing the correlation mechanism among exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,exercise effect cognition and exercise participation.Research object: This study takes Chongqing college students’ exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,exercise effect cognition,and exercise participation as the research object and the relationship between the four variables.A total of 700 students from three colleges including Chongqing Electronic Engineering Vocational College were investigated.Research methods: 1)Documentation method lays a solid foundation for this study;2)Questionnaire survey method provides data support for this study;3)Mathematical statistics method uses SPSS26.0 software to analyze the data obtained.Modeling with Amos21.Effect size analysis using Process4.1.Use Origin2020 for image drawing.Research result:1)There are significant differences in the level of exercise self-efficacy in the variables of gender,school,and whether or not they are only children.2)Sports motivation and its various dimensions have significant differences in gender variables.3)There are significant differences in the level of sports participation in gender variables.4)There are significant differences in gender variables in the four dimensions of exercise pleasure,ability effect,social effect,and exercise effect cognition.5)There is a certain degree of positive correlation among exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,exercise effect cognition,and exercise participation.6)The standardized direct effect value of exercising self-efficacy on sports participation is 0.38,and the mediating effect value of sports motivation is 0.317.The mediation effect accounted for 0.455 of the total effect.7)In the path of cognitive regulation of exercise effect and exercise self-efficacy affecting sports participation,the slope of the high exercise effect cognitive group was significantly higher than that of the low exercise effect cognitive group,and both were >0.In the path of exercise effect cognition regulating exercise motivation and sports participation,the slope of the high exercise effect cognition group was significantly higher than that of the low exercise effect cognition group,and both were >0.Analysis conclusion:1)There are significant correlations among the dimensions of exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,exercise participation,and exercise effect cognition,and all the correlations are positive.2)In the three-factor model of exercise self-efficacy,exercise motivation,and exercise participation,the indirect effect value is 0.318,the mediation effect accounts for 45.5%,and the direct effect accounts for 54.5%.3)Exercise effect cognition positively regulates exercise self-efficacy directly affects the path of exercise participation,and the adjustment effect value is 2.917.Exercise effect cognition positively regulates the path that exercise motivation directly affects exercise participation,and its moderating effect value is 3.451.
