“…Moreover, group exercise strengthens social ties among adolescents and also indirectly enhances self-esteem by increasing the sense of belonging and social identity through teamwork and the realization of common goals 34 . In addition, the experience of success and the overcoming of challenges in sports competition provide adolescents with important opportunities to validate their self-worth and competence, further strengthening self-esteem 35 . Based on the above analysis, the third hypothesis of this paper is formulated as follows.…”

Externalizing problem behaviors can significantly negatively impact adolescents' current learning, life, and future socialization processes. Although it is suggested that physical exercise inhibits adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors, the extent of the effect and the mediating mechanisms remain unclear. Based on the survey data of 2,468 Chinese adolescents from 2018, this study employed multiple linear regression, propensity score matching, and quantile regression to investigate the effects of physical exercise on adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors and its heterogeneity. Furthermore, this study explored the mediating mechanisms of physical exercise’s influence on adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors through Bootstrap mediation analysis. The results indicated that physical exercise significantly inhibited adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors, particularly in adolescents with less severe externalizing problem behaviors. Physical exercise also indirectly reduced adolescents' externalizing problem behaviors through enhancements in the parent-child relationship, self-esteem, and self-control. These findings offer significant theoretical and practical implications for developing effective strategies for adolescent health promotion and provide a robust scientific foundation for further research and practical interventions.

“…In relation to social identity theory, after experiencing a defeat of the national team, sport fans counter threat to their self-esteem by concealing their association with the defeated team. In this way they increase the psychological distance from the losing team to sustain their self-esteem at the prevailing levels (Lanter & Blackburn, 2015).…”

The present study theoretically advances the social identity threat construct, with the terrorist attacks of March 4, 2009, in the backdrop, by providing a compelling evidence on how international sporting isolation acts as a social identity threat due to emphatic consequences on spectator’s team identification and national collective self-esteem (CSE). Moreover, the study adheres to the rejection identification model, which accentuates profound identity by the socially devalued in-group members for preservation of self-esteem in instance of negative portrayal by an out-group. A total of 210 respondents were randomly assigned to one of the two experimental conditions. The results show that national team identification produced positive change in the CSE in threat condition making respondents assert significance to their group membership, self-concept, and private CSE. The two experimental conditions in this research delineate two diverse perspectives regarding identity level while adding useful contributions to the literature.

“…College students can also reap personal benefits because popular athletic teams can imbue a campus with a stronger sense of community (Mangold et al , 2003; Warner et al , 2011) and improve university culture (Brand, 2006). For enrolled students, other effects of intercollegiate athletic teams include enhancements to various measures of well-being, including university identification (Katz and Heere, 2016), persistence (Hickman and Meyer, 2017), graduation rate (Stinson et al , 2012) and self-esteem of first-year students (Lanter and Blackburn, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore relationships among three primary variables: sports spectatorship of intercollegiate football, university brand equity and student satisfaction. The primary purpose is to understand the extent to which athletic programs influence campus culture, sense of community and the satisfaction of undergraduate students. A secondary purpose is to probe the factor structure, reliability and validity of a recently developed sports spectatorship scale. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data through an online survey of 419 undergraduate students enrolled at three separate Midwestern universities, using previously developed and validated survey scales. Findings Relationships between brand equity and student satisfaction suggest that athletic programs provide a benefit to universities by improving students’ psychological sense of community and emotional connection to the institution. Furthermore, correlations between sports spectatorship and brand equity measures suggest an internal advertising effect. Originality/value The results contribute to the understanding of the role of intercollegiate athletic programs, in this case from the perspective of enrolled undergraduate students. Additionally, the findings recommend ways that universities might maximize some of the benefits by emphasizing the emotional connection of the student body to the teams. The paper also contributes to the validation of the sports spectatorship scale as a tool for further research.
