“…Most previous studies have focused on the effect of square dance exercise on improving individuals' mental health [48,49]. However, square dance is more oriented to daily exercise in groups, which can provide middle-aged and older adults with a relaxed and enjoyable exercise atmosphere and opportunities to expand their social interactions during group exercise [50].…”

(1) Background: Aging is a global phenomenon, and China’s aging is extensive and rapid and already at the middle to upper level worldwide. Promoting social interaction and increasing positive psychological qualities in individuals are key components in helping people adapt to the physical and mental changes of the aging process. Among them, how middle-aged and older adults improve their physical and mental health through physical activity is of great concern. (2) Methods: This study measured the physical activity of 2721 middle-aged and elderly square dance participants across China, and structural equation modeling was applied to explore the relationship between square dance exercise and group cohesion as well as the role of perceived social support and psychological capital. (3) Results: The results showed that (a) square dance exercise positively predicts group cohesion among middle-aged and older adults. (b) Perceived social support and psychological capital mediate the relationship between square dance exercise and group cohesion, and the mediating role consists of three pathways: perceived social support alone, psychological capital alone, and perceived social support-psychological capital chain mediation. (c) The mediating effect of psychological capital alone is greater than the mediating effect of perceived social support alone and the mediating effect of the perceived social support-psychological capital chain. (4) Conclusions: This study provides support for the theory and practice of square dance exercise and intervention guidance for increasing positive psychological qualities and group dynamic levels in middle-aged and older adults.

“…One hypothesis proposes that physical activity improves coping by enhancing self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to accomplish a specific task and reflects their confidence in coping with challenging, demanding, or limiting situations ( Bandura, 2012 ). Existing literature connects self-efficacy levels with physical activity in the general MS population ( Baird et al., 2022 ; Casey et al., 2017 ; Streber et al., 2016 ). According to Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory ( Bandura, 1995 ), the associations between personal factors such as self-efficacy and behaviors such as physical activity are bidirectional.…”
