A Study on the Relationship between Physical Activity,Basic Psychological Needs,and Mental Health of College Students
This paper is to explore the correlation between physical activity and mental health of college stu-dents,and the mediating role of basic psychological needs between physical activity and mental health of college students.A total of 1200 college students were measured by stratified cluster random sampling,and the measure-ment tools include physical activity scale,basic psychological needs scale and mental health scale.Results show that:(1)Physical activity was positively correlated with basic psychological needs(β=0.53,p<0.01)and mental health(β=0.13,p<0.01),and basic psychological needs were positively correlated with mental health(β=0.35,p<0.01);(2)The mediating effect between physical activity and mental health of college students was significant(95%CI:0.14,0.24),and the direct effect and mediating effect accounted for 41.94%and 58.06%,respectively.Conclusions are drawn that:(1)There was a significant positive correlation between physical activity,basic psy-chological needs and mental health of college students,and physical activity could significantly positively predict mental health;(2)Basic psychological needs play a significant mediating effect between physical activity and mental health.
