Mediation analysis demonstrates that physical education teacher support increases sport participation in college students, indicating motivation and self-efficacy drive engagement.

Key Points

To examine the relationship between physical education teacher support and sport participation among college students, specifically testing the mediating roles of learning motivation and self-efficacy.
Evaluated measurement validity and reliability using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin testing, Bartlett's test of sphericity, average variance extracted, composite reliability, and confirmatory factor analysis.
Analyzed associations and mediation pathways using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and PROCESS Model 6.
Physical education teacher support, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and sport participation demonstrated significant positive correlations with one another.
Teacher support indirectly enhanced sport participation through three significant pathways: solely via learning motivation (mediating effect: 0.146), solely via self-efficacy (mediating effect: 0.166), and via the combined chain of motivation and self-efficacy (mediating effect: 0.129).
