“…The reason for the significant difference in subjective well-being among university students of different ages and educational levels is easy to understand, because university students with higher ages and educational levels have better life experience, rich knowledge reserves and are more likely to feel warmth and goodwill from the outside world, and are also able to satisfy themselves quickly, which helps them to obtain higher subjective well-being. There are significant differences among university students with different exercise levels, possibly due to the exercise benefits brought by different exercise levels and the differences in exercise intensity, frequency, and time at different exercise levels [ 46 ]. Compared to the lack of benefits at low levels of exercise and the over-commitment at high levels of exercise, moderate levels of exercise brought the best subjective well-being to university students, which is consistent with the results of the previous study [ 47 ].…”

Background: Regular physical activity is an effective means to enhance university students’ subjective well-being. However, current research needs to understand how physical activity enhances the subjective well-being of Chinese university students. Therefore, the study investigated the mechanism of physical activity’s impact on university students’ subjective well-being and the mediating roles of cognitive reappraisal and resilience in this mechanism. Methods: The physical activity scale, subjective well-being scale, cognitive reappraisal scale and resilience scale were used to investigate 1350 university students, and the relationship between physical activity, cognitive reappraisal, resilience and university students’ subjective well-being was verified through correlation analysis, regression analysis and a Bootstrap method. Results: (1) There is a significant positive correlation between physical activity, cognitive reappraisal, resilience and university students’ subjective well-being (p < 0.01); (2) physical activity, cognitive reappraisal and resilience all have a significant positive effects on university students’ subjective well-being (p < 0.01); (3) cognitive reappraisal and resilience have significant mediating roles in the process of physical activity affecting university students’ well-being, with mediating-effect values of 0.052 and 0.285; (4) the chain-mediating role of cognitive reappraisal and resilience in the process of physical activity affecting university students’ well-being is significant, with the chain-mediating effect value of 0.062. Conclusion: Promoting university students’ participation in physical activity not only directly enhances university students’ subjective well-being but also indirectly improves university students’ subjective well-being through cognitive reappraisal and resilience.

“…Lifting self-competency, thereby lifting self-esteem and resilience, would also be beneficial to ISs' mental health conditions. Professionals suggested ISs increase participation in physical activities and elevate the host language proficiency to improve their mental well-being because both were able to effectively mitigate psychological distress on ISs' mental health in general [13,15,23]. When confronting stress, psychological barriers to seeking help from professionals due to stigma are also problematic for ISs' mental well-being and have yet been addressed in this article.…”

Mental disorders are pervasive among global students enrolled in postsecondary education institutions, and the mental health conditions of international students (ISs) are seizing additional attention from professionals due to their unique challenges. This review aims to address three categories of psychosocial factors that are particularly affecting ISs’ mental health conditions, including 1) acculturative stress, 2) explicit and implicit discrimination and 3) interpersonal relationships/intercultural social efficacy. High mindfulness level, low perceived cultural distancing, high host language proficiency, and sufficient psychoeducation of educators and ISs are protective of ISs from acculturation-related distress. Low perceived host language proficiency, loneliness, and anxiety mediate the relationship between ISs’ mental health and discrimination. Possessing, maintaining, and enhancing existing healthy interpersonal relationships and social connectedness to the host culture provides ISs with social support to overcome psychological distress. Correspondingly, the article discussed interventions that have shown effectiveness and potential practical application value from both personal and institutional perspectives. In sum, mental health conditions are as noteworthy as academic competency among ISs, and it requires more investigations into the intervening process targeting psychosocial stressors.
