Purpose To explore the relations among personality traits, sports commitment, and exercise behavior of Chinese college students. To test whether sports commitment plays an intermediary role in the process of personality traits affecting exercise behavior. To explore the factors that affect Chinese college students’ exercise behavior from the psychological level, to promote college students to actively participate in physical exercise. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on 1200 students from 6 universities using the “Personality Trait Scale”, “Sports Commitment Scale” and “Exercise Behavior Scale”. SPSS was used to analyze the differences between genders and urban and rural areas; and correlation analysis was conducted on the personality traits, sports commitment, and exercise behaviors of college students. Finally, AMOS was used to establish a structural equation model to test the mediating role of sports commitment. Results There are significant differences between different genders in each factor of personality traits ( P <0.05); there is no significant difference between different genders in the participation opportunities of sports commitment ( P =0.734), and there are significant differences in other factors. There were significant differences in each factor of exercise behavior ( P <0.05). There were no significant differences in personality traits, sports commitment, and exercise behavior between urban and rural students ( P > 0.05). There was a significant correlation among personality traits, sports commitment, and exercise behavior ( P < 0.01). The direct effect of personality traits on exercise behavior was not significant ( P > 0.05), but there was only the mediating effect of sports commitment. Conclusion There is a significant correlation among Chinese college students’ personality traits, sports commitment, and exercise behavior. Sports commitment plays an intermediary role between personality traits and sports commitment. Improving the level of sports commitment can encourage Chinese college students to participate in physical exercise.

“…Researches showed that successful school adaptation positively enhance students' academic achievement (Zysberg and Schwabsky, 2021), interpersonal skills (Kiuru et al, 2020), life perspectives (Zhou, 2012), and positive character traits (Nikooyeh et al, 2017). Therefore, for junior high school students, adapting to school life is a crucial early developmental task (Li et al, 2023), an essential component of their social adaptability (Hou et al, 2022), and a significant indicator of their overall health and development level. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that puberty, along with significant physiology (Henriques-Neto et al, 2023), psychological (Vijayakumar et al, 2023), and socio-emotional changes (Ding et al, 2023), brings various pressures impacting academic performance and interpersonal relationships (Tan et al, 2022).…”

BackgroundAs a crucial juncture in students’ educational journey, junior high school presents challenges that profoundly influence well-being and academic performance. Physical activity emerges as a pivotal factor shaping the holistic development of junior high school students. Beyond its recognized impact on physical and mental health, engaging in regular physical activity proves effective in augmenting students’ adaptability to school life. Despite its importance, the mechanisms through which physical activity influences school adaptation in junior high school students remain understudied in academic research.ObjectiveIn exploring the potential mechanisms, this study aims to validate the mediating roles of resilience and coping styles by examining the association between physical activity and school adaptation among junior high school students.MethodsThis study employed cross-sectional survey approach among junior high school students in China. Through the convenience sampling, 1,488 participants aged from 12 to 16 years old (Average age = 13.59, SD = 1.017) from two Junior high schools in Changsha City, Hunan Province were recruited to complete the Physical Activity Scale, School Adaptation Questionnaire for Junior High School Students, Resilience Scale for Adolescents, and Simple Coping Styles Questionnaire. For data analysis, the SPSS 26.0 and Amos 26.0 were used for statistical processing.ResultsThe results showed that physical activity exhibited a significant correlation with school adaptation (r = 0.656, p < 0.001). Resilience, positive coping style and negative coping style played partial mediating roles between physical activity and school adaptation, with the effect size were 0.229, 0.170, 0.171. The chain mediation effect size of resilience and positive coping style was 0.042, while the chain mediation effect size of resilience and negative coping style was 0.050.ConclusionPhysical activity positively predicts Chinese junior high school students’ school adaptation through resilience and coping styles, suggesting that junior high school students should engage in regular physical activity, so as to improve their resilience and positive coping styles, mitigating negative coping styles, thus promoting their school adaptation.
