“… Xu et al (2021) discovered that exercise increased people’s resilience by satisfying fundamental psychological demands. Similarly, Lin et al (2022) found a positive association between physical activity and self-esteem, psychological resilience, and interpersonal flexibility indicators in Chinese adolescents. A substantial body of empirical research supports the proposition that consistent participation in physical activity is positively associated with psychological resilience.…”

The rapid advancement of modern technology has significantly driven progress in various IT-related activities, resulting in a substantial increase in internet penetration rates, particularly among college students. The utilization of the internet has become one of the most essential tools in our modern society. However, internet addiction (IA) has emerged as a serious concern, particularly among college students, adversely affecting academic performance and having significant psychological and psychiatric implications. The aim of the current study was to determine the impact of physical exercise, gender and academic year on IA among college students. In the present study, we investigated internet usage, engagement in sports activities, and academic performance among college students from Western, Middle, and Eastern regions of Chinese universities. It’s noteworthy that most of the respondents were freshmen. Our findings indicate that freshmen students were more susceptible to experiencing IA. Approximately 75% of students engaged in leisure sports activities, revealing an inverse correlation between sports activity and IA. This correlation aligns with the level of sports involvement, emphasizing the potential benefits of physical activity in mitigating IA. However, our study did not uncover any correlation between geographic location and the occurrence of IA, nor did it find differences between medical and non-medical students. Furthermore, our study revealed no significant variations in IA among students from different ethnic backgrounds. The underlying mechanism of IA is being currently determined. Our data suggest that physical exercise, gender, and academic year have a significant impact on IA among college students.

“…Researchers have classi ed college students' adjustment into four dimensions [13], including academic adjustment, personal emotional adjustment, organizational adjustment, and social adjustment. Interpersonal adjustment is an essential component of college students' social adjustment [14], which is the process by which an individual in an interpersonal relationship adjusts their behaviors to cater the behaviors of others [15], and can signi cantly predict depression [16][17][18].…”

Background With the high incidence of college student suicides due to depression, it is critical to understand the factors that influence depression in college students. This study addresses the interconnected relationships among interpersonal adjustment, depression, core self-evaluation and gender among college students. Objectives This study aims is to explore how college students’ interpersonal adjustment is to influence and provide due insights for effective interventions for college students’ depression. Methodology We used the Interpersonal Adjustment Scale for College Students, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scales, and the Core Self-Evaluation Scale, and recruited 1920 college students to fill out the questionnaire, and finally obtained 1748 valid participants. Results The results showed that college students’ interpersonal adjustment and core self-evaluation negatively predicted depression, and core self-evaluation mediated the relationship between college students’ interpersonal adjustment and depression. While gender moderated the relationship between college students’ interpersonal adjustment and core self-evaluation. Conclusions and implications Interpersonal adjustment and core self-evaluation can serve as significant predictors of depression in college students. Moreover, interpersonal adjustment has a significantly higher effect on depression among female college students than male college students. Based on the results of the study, we proposes to enhance the college students’ interpersonal and core self-evaluation adaptability to cope with the problem of college students’ depression, and we should pay more attention to female college students.
