Research on the Relationship between Physical Exercise, Psychological Flexibility and Positive Emotion of College Students Based on Computer Mathematical Model

Abstract

In the 1970s and 1980s, the study of mental resilience emerged in the field of psychology in the United States and quickly became a hot topic in the field of international psychology. The field studies the psychological adaptation and development of children, adolescents (and later adults) in adversity. The extensive research on the psychological resilience of college students can enlighten the complexity of their psychological development. Throughout life, people inevitably encounter setbacks and adversities, and are under pressure from all sides at all times. With the development of society and the intensification of competition, college students are facing more and more pressure. Some college students can adapt to pressure and grow up healthily, while others cannot adapt to adversity, which leads to psychological problems. In the era of computer big data, relevant experience shows that physical exercise has certain help in forming mental resilience and positive emotions. Therefore, this paper analyzes the relationship between physical exercise, mental resilience and positive emotions of college students by using computer technology and mathematical model, so as to provide help for college students to form healthy psychology.

Physical Activity and Resilience among College Students: The Mediating Effects of Basic Psychological Needs

“…Consistent with the previous studies [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], we found that physical activity was positively associated with resilience in our college student sample. The result is also supported by Hjemdal et al, who have argued that physical activity serves an important function in promoting psychological resilience [ 47 ].…”

“…Evidence exists that physical activity is positively and significantly associated with resilience [ 13 ]. Secer and Yildizhan have suggested that the level of physical activity is an important variable that influences the psychological resilience level of university students [ 14 ].…”

“…San Román-Mata et al have found that the more that college students participate in physical activity, the greater are their levels of resilience [ 16 ]. Xia et al have suggested that physical activity is an effective way to foster college students’ resilience, which can improve their problem-solving ability, interpersonal communication ability, self-confidence, emotional regulation, and positive cognition [ 13 ].…”

“…Although some studies have revealed that physical activity is positively related to resilience [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], few studies have explored the mediating factors in the relationship between physical activity and resilience. Drawing from basic psychological needs theory may help us to understand the association between them.…”

The Influence of Chinese College Students’ Physical Exercise on Life Satisfaction: The Chain Mediation Effect of Core Self-evaluation and Positive Emotion

“…From the perspective of positive emotion, physical exercise can also promote the production of individual positive emotion. When individuals experience more positive emotion, the proportion of negative emotions is significantly reduced, which helps individuals form positive and optimistic attitudes, have a greater sense of hope, and show higher life satisfaction ( Ligeza et al, 2019 ; Bo et al, 2020 ). The results also showed that the mediation path of positive emotion has the greatest influence on the total mediation effect, indicating that the influence of physical exercise on life satisfaction is largely played by positive emotion.…”
