“…Since the reason for the development of basic psychological needs theory is to verify individual stability, it is a theory that is deeply related to human behavior, such as school life satisfaction, class attitude, and physical efficacy [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 18 ]. This is partly consistent with past studies [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Based on this context, the positive manifestation of basic psychological needs and high physical self-efficacy in adolescents can influence students’ feelings and attitudes toward PE [ 14 ] and facilitate a positive or change in mindset toward perceiving PE [ 15 ]. Additionally, basic psychological needs, physical self-efficacy, and attitudes in class are valuable and sufficient relative to stimulating an individual’s potential inner world [ 16 , 17 ]. As this can directly and/or indirectly affect students’ attitudes toward participating in class, investigating the relationship between basic psychological needs, physical self-efficacy, and attitudes during classroom experiences is a highly compelling task.…”

“…Basic psychological needs significantly affect physical self-efficacy, as they can maintain physical, psychological, and social health and comfort when the essential needs pursued by humans are fulfilled [ 4 , 18 ]. In studies on athletes; children; and middle- and high-school and college students, affirmative responses were found in terms of confidence in and expectations for being able to solve any task and affection with respect to one’s body if basic psychological needs were positive [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Therefore, our first research hypothesis (H1) is as follows:…”

This study explored the effect of basic psychological needs in secondary physical education (PE) classes in South Korea on physical self-efficacy and attitudes toward PE. Data from 296 middle-school students were collected from May to June 2022 in Seoul or Gyeonggi-do. Participants were surveyed via simple random sampling. Confirmatory factor, correlation, and multiple regression analyses were conducted, and reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s α. Basic psychological needs had a significant positive effect on physical self-efficacy. Competence and autonomy positively and significantly affected perceived physical competence (β = 0.535 and 0.320, respectively). Basic psychological needs had a significant positive effect on classroom attitudes toward PE. Autonomy and relatedness positively and significantly affected basic attitudes (β = 0.317 and 0.388, respectively) and social attitudes (β = 0.3498 and 0.213, respectively). Physical self-efficacy had a significant positive effect on PE classroom attitudes. Perceived physical competence and physical self-presentation confidence had a positive and significant effect on basic attitudes (β = 0.258 and 0.166, respectively). The results implied that attitudes toward school life can be improved through physical activity in secondary PE classes.

“…The more students take part in sports, the stronger their resilience becomes, and conversely, the less they participate, the weaker their resilience. Further studies [70][71][72] suggest that increased sports participation can bolster individual willpower and, consequently, enhance psychological resilience among university students. Furthermore, this study found that psychological resilience signi cantly negatively predicts the occurrence of school bullying, meaning that lower levels of psychological resilience increase the risk of experiencing bullying, whereas higher levels decrease it.…”

Objective To provide a reference for undergraduates to develop healthy and confident lifestyles through exploring the effects of Sports participation on school bullying among college students and their inherent mechanism. Methods The undergraduates from two universities in Southwest China region were selected as subjects in the manner of stratified and random sampling, and the data was processed by SPSS 19.0 and AM0S21.0 statistical software. Results 1) Sports participation significantly and negative predicted the school bullying. 2) Psychological resilience played an intermediary role between sports participation and school bullying. 3) Self-esteem plays a regulatory role in the second half of the mediating effect of psychological resilience. With the rises of self-esteem, mediating effect of psychological resilience would gradually increase. Conclusion Sports participation can affect school bullying among college students through both direct and indirect paths, mediated by intermediary role of psychological resilience. Meanwhile, the effects of self-esteem on school bullying among college students are not ignorable. Therefore, self-esteem is believed to be another key factor influencing school bullying among college students in addition to sports participation and psychological resilience.

“…The self-efficacy theory suggests that an individual’s level of Physical activity can influence the development of self-efficacy ( McAuley & Blissmer, 2000 ). A strong positive correlation between PA and self-efficacy has been found in the UK ( Darker et al, 2010 ), Italy ( Latino et al, 2021 ), and the USA ( Wiedenman et al, 2023 ). For example, a six-week walking intervention led to a significant increase in self-efficacy among adult participants ( Darker et al, 2010 ).…”

Background There is a paucity of knowledge concerning the psychological variables that serve to facilitate the connection between physical activity and self-efficacy, and the factors capable of moderating these pathways. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity and self-efficacy among college students, with a focus on the mediating effect of grit and the moderating effect of gender. Methods This study recruited 3,228 undergraduate students from a university in Shanghai, China. They completed the General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Short Grit Scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and the Process v4.0 plugin. Results Physical activity had both a direct effect on self-efficacy (β = 0.07, 95% CI [0.04–0.11]) and an indirect effect through the two dimensions of grit: perseverance of effort (β = 0.06, 95% CI [0.04–0.07]) and consistency of interest (β = 0.03, 95% CI [0.02–0.04]). The mediating effect explained 53.27% of the total effect. Furthermore, gender moderated the relationship between perseverance of effort and self-efficacy, with a stronger effect observed in males (β = 0.08, t = 3.27, p < 0.01). Conclusion The results revealed that grit is an underlying psychological mechanism that links physical activity and self-efficacy. Moreover, gender moderates the effect of perseverance of effort on self-efficacy, with a stronger effect observed in males. These findings have practical implications for educators to design tailored physical activity interventions that foster grit and self-efficacy among college students.
