Background and objective: Subjective well-being stands as a pivotal and comprehensive psychological indicator reflecting an individual's quality of life, often intertwined with physical activity. However, the intricate mechanisms through which physical activity influences an individual's subjective well-being remain less explored. Currently, scant research delves into the impact of physical activity on subjective well-being concerning cardiac dimensions such as basic psychological needs and self-efficacy. Consequently, this study aims to investigate the influence of physical activity on the subjective well-being of college students, examining the chain-mediated effects of basic psychological needs and self-efficacy. Methods: A total of 389 college students participated in this study, and data collection involved utilizing the Physical Activity Rating Scale, Subjective Well-Being Scale, Basic Psychological Needs Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0 to explore the chain mediating roles of basic psychological needs and self-efficacy in the effects of physical activity on college students' subjective well-being. Results: The findings revealed a significant positive correlation among physical activity, subjective well-being, basic psychological needs, and self-efficacy. Notably, physical activity influences college students' subjective well-being through the mediating roles of basic psychological needs and self-efficacy, with each playing a chain mediating role independently. Conclusion: Basic psychological needs and self-efficacy as integral chain mediators in elucidating the effects of physical activity on the subjective well-being of college students.

BackgroundInternet addiction poses a significant threat to the health of college students worldwide, but physical activity, as a highly safe and effective rehabilitative measure, has shown promise for alleviating this issue nowadays. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the mediating processes in this association remained unclear. This study aims to explore the impact of physical activity on internet addiction among college students and the mediating role of subjective well-being.MethodsA survey was conducted on 216 eligible college students using the physical activity level scale, the internet addiction test, and the subjective well-being scale. For data analysis, independent sample t-tests, correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis, and mediating effect tests were in turn carried out in this work.ResultsThe study revealed noteworthy gender disparities in physical activity and internet addiction among college students (β = −0.356, p < 0.01; β = 0.140, p < 0.05). Compared to females, male students manifest elevated levels of physical activity and lower scores in internet addiction. Physical activity and subjective well-being exerted a significantly negative predictive influence on internet addiction (β = −0.162, p < 0.05; β = −0.508, p < 0.001). What’s more, subjective well-being assumed a crucial mediating role in the relationship between physical activity and internet addiction, with the mediating effect accounting for 72.81% of the total effect.ConclusionThis study deepens the understanding of how physical activity reduces internet addiction risk while emphasizing that enhancing subjective well-being is an effective strategy for college students to cope with Internet addiction.

“…Smartphone addiction is most likely to occur when an individual’s three basic psychological needs are less satisfied in the real world and more satisfied in the virtual world. It has been shown that physical exercise has a significant positive predictive effect on basic psychological need satisfaction in college students [ 51 ]. Physical exercise reduces the possibility of smartphone addiction in college students by enhancing the satisfaction of their basic psychological needs.…”

Smartphone addiction is widespread among college students. Physical exercise and core self-evaluation are two potential factors that may influence smartphone addiction. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical exercise and college students’ smartphone addiction, as well as the mediating effect of core self-evaluation. Here, 643 undergraduate university students are surveyed via questionnaire using the Physical Activity Rating Scale, the Smartphone Addiction Scale for College Students, and the Core Self-Evaluations Scale. The participants include 363 males (56.5%) and 280 females (43.5%), with ages ranging from 17 to 25 years old (mean = 19.68, SD = 1.40). The obtained data are analyzed using SPSS26.0 and the PROCESS plugins. The main findings of the study are as follows: (1) There is a significant negative correlation between physical exercise and smartphone addiction (r = −0.30, p < 0.01), a significant positive correlation between physical exercise and core self-evaluation (r = 0.25, p < 0.01), and a significant negative correlation between core self-evaluation and smartphone addiction (r = −0.52, p < 0.01). (2) There is a mediating effect of core self-evaluation between physical exercise and smartphone addiction. The current study can provide new evidence for the impact of physical exercise on smartphone addiction and highlights the importance of core self-evaluation. Moreover, research ideas and methodological guidance are provided for the following interventions and treatments targeting college students’ smartphone addiction.
