Study On The Correlation Between Personality Traits,Trait Mindfulness And Exercise Motivation Of College Students

With the rapid development of social economy and Internet technology,mobile games,online television and so on occupy most of people’s time,people’s physical activities began to decline significantly.Studies have shown that insufficient physical activity increases the risk of illness.As a sensitive group to new things,the strength of the network and the lack of self-control make college students take part in physical exercise activities less and less time,exercise motivation is reduced,resulting in insufficient physical activity and physical health of college students.Therefore,this paper takes Lanzhou college students as a sample to analyze the relationship between personality traits,trait mindfulness and exercise motivation,and further discusses the relationship between personality traits and exercise motivation with trait mindfulness as an intermediary variable.The results can provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for improving college students’ exercise motivation.Using the methods of literature,scale test,partial least square structural equation model and mathematical statistics,this paper uses Chen Shanping’s simplified Chinese version of exercise motivation scale,Zhu Xiaojia’s revised Chinese version of personality trait scale and Chen Si-yi’s revised Chinese version of trait mindfulness scale as the main measuring tools.Among the 32 colleges and universities in Lanzhou City,Gansu Province,7 schools were randomly selected according to the proportion of 20% in each level.Each school randomly distributed 100 students,and the total number of effective tests was 648.Further,using the partial least square structural equation model,the relationship between personality trait,trait mindfulness and exercise motivation of college students,and the relationship between trait mindfulness and exercise motivation as intermediary personality trait and exercise motivation are constructed to clarify the path of improving exercise motivation through personality trait and trait mindfulness.The main findings are:1.The exercise motivation of Lanzhou college students is in the middle level,and the exercise motivation of boys is greater than that of girls.Extroversion,openness and due diligence personality traits accounted for a large number of college students,neuroticism and pleasant personality traits accounted for a small number of the total,and in terms of gender differences,the number of open and extroverted personality traits accounted for a large number of boys,and the number of girls due diligence and open personality traits accounted for a large number.There were significant differences in trait mindfulness between male and female college students,and girls were higher than boys.2.Extraverted personality traits not only have a positive and significant effect on trait mindfulness,exercise motivation and their fun/social motivation dimensions,but also can indirectly affect exercise motivation and its health/fun/social motivation dimensions by increasing the level of trait mindfulness.Agreeableness personality traits have a positive and significant influence on exercise motivation and its health/appearance/fun/ability/social motivation dimensions.The conscientious personality trait not only has a positive and significant impact on the trait mindfulness,exercise motivation and its health/fun motivation dimensions,but can also indirectly affect exercise motivation and its health/fun/social motivation dimensions by increasing the trait mindfulness level.Neuroticism personality traits have a negative and significant impact on trait mindfulness,which can indirectly affect exercise motivation and its health/fun/social motivation dimensions by increasing the level of trait mindfulness.Openness personality traits have a positive and significant influence on ability motivation.Based on the findings,conclusions and recommendations are drawn:Lanzhou college students’ exercise motivation is in the middle level,compared with the higher level of exercise motivation,there is room for improvement.Extroversion personality traits can significantly positively predict Lanzhou college students’ trait mindfulness,exercise motivation and their fun / social motivation dimension;agreeableness personality traits can significantly positively predict Lanzhou college students’ exercise motivation and their health / appearance /fun / ability / social motivation dimension;conscientious personality traits can significantly positively predict Lanzhou college students’ trait mindfulness,exercise motivation and health / fun motivation dimension;neuroticism personality traits can significantly predict Lanzhou college students’ ability and motivation dimension;Openness personality traits can significantly predict Lanzhou college students’ ability and motivation dimension.personality traits(extroversion,conscientious,nervousness)can indirectly influence exercise motivation and its health/fun/social motivation dimensions through trait mindfulness mediation.The recommendations are as follows:1.Lanzhou college students’ exercise motivation is at a medium level,and there is room for improvement compared with the high level of exercise motivation.Therefore,this article suggests that schools should strengthen the creation of physical exercise atmosphere and continue to improve the motivation of college students to exercise.2.Focus on cultivating the personality traits of college students and enhance their motivation to exercise.By cultivating personality traits and improving exercise motivation,the personality traits of extraversion,agreeableness,and conscientiousness are more suitable for training through teacher classrooms,physical activities,and psychological centering.3.Combining the research results of the mediating effect of trait mindfulness on personality traits and exercise motivation,it is valuable to introduce trait mindfulness into college mental health education classrooms.In addition,the introduction of trait mindfulness among the three types of people: extraversion,conscientiousness,and neurotic personality traits is more valuable for college students to improve their motivation to exercise.
