Overview

This research shows chain mediation effects of basic psychological needs and self-efficacy on subjective well-being in college students.

Key Points

  • Physical activity positively influences subjective well-being and is mediated by basic psychological needs and self-efficacy.
  • Data analysis of 389 college students revealed significant positive correlations among physical activity and well-being metrics.
  • A chain mediation model demonstrated that both basic psychological needs and self-efficacy mediate the relationship between physical activity and subjective well-being.
  • Findings suggest that enhancing physical activity may improve well-being by addressing basic psychological needs and fostering self-efficacy.
