| Research purpose: To investigating the physical activity level,body self-esteem and anxious emotion of sixth grade students in Chengdu,the current situation and differences of physical activity level,body self-esteem and anxious emotion of sixth grade students in Chengdu were understood,and the correlation and mediating effect of physical activity level,body self-esteem and anxious emotion were analyzed.Research methods: The physical activity level,physical self-esteem and anxious emotions of 793 sixth grade students in Chengdu were investigated by the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents,the Physical Self-esteem Scale for Children and the Screening Table for Children with anxiety Emotional Disorders,and the data were analyzed by SPSS23.0 statistical software.Research results:(1)Analysis results of physical activity level,body self-esteem and anxiety of sixth grade students in Chengdu: A.Physical activity level: the proportion of middle physical activity level of sixth grade pupils in Chengdu was the highest,48.93%;There were significant differences between male and female students in different physical activity levels(p<0.01),59.64% of male students concentrated on high intensity physical activity,62.62% of female students concentrated on medium intensity physical activity.B.Physical self-esteem: Physical exercise,sense of achievement and discipline of sixth grade students in Chengdu had significant gender differences(p<0.05),there were no significant gender differences in appearance,ability,merit and helpfulness(p>0.05).C.Anxious emotion: The anxiety rate of sixth grade girls(25.74%)was higher than that of boys(13.37%).There was no significant gender difference in school fear(p>0.05),the other factors had significant differences in sex(p<0.01).(2)Analysis of the differences of physical self-esteem and anxiety among sixth grade students at different physical activity levels in Chengdu The physical appearance,physical activity,ability,sense of accomplishment,merit and helping others of sixth grade students in Chengdu had significant differences in different physical activity levels(p<0.01),while the discipline had no significant differences in different physical activity levels(p>0.05).The factors of anxiety emotion of sixth grade students in Chengdu had significant differences at different levels of physical activity(p<0.01).The six dimensions of body self-esteem of male students were significantly different at different levels of physical activity(p<0.01).The discipline of girls had no significant difference in different physical activity levels(p>0.05),and the other 5 dimensions had significant difference in different physical activity levels(p<0.01).The factors of anxiety emotion in male students were significantly different at different levels of physical activity(p<0.01).There were significant differences in social fear factor among girls at different levels of physical activity(p<0.01),but there were no significant differences among the other 4 factors at different levels of physical activity(p>0.05).(3)Correlation analysis results of physical activity,body self-esteem and anxiety among sixth grade students in Chengdu: A.Correlation between physical activity and body self-esteem: In Chengdu,the total physical activity of sixth grade pupils and girls was positively correlated with appearance,physical activity,ability,sense of achievement,merit and helping others,and total physical self-esteem,with correlation coefficients between 0.198—0.463 and 0.168—0.327(P<0.01),but no correlation with discipline(P>0.05).The physical activity level of male students was positively correlated with body self-esteem in a medium to low degree,and the correlation coefficient was between 0.168 and 0.467(P<0.01).B.Correlation between physical activity and anxiety emotion: The total physical activity of sixth grade students and the physical activity of male students in Chengdu had a low negative correlation with the factors of anxiety emotion,and the correlation coefficients were between-0.228 — 0.125 and-0.177 — 0.133(P<0.01).Physical activity of girls was negatively correlated with generalized anxiety,dissociative anxiety and social fear,and the correlation coefficient was between-0.197 and-0.110(P<0.01),while there was no correlation with somatization/panic and school fear(P>0.05).C.Correlation between body self-esteem and anxiety emotion: total anxiety emotion and total body self-esteem of sixth grade students in Chengdu were moderately negatively correlated,and the correlation coefficient was-0.404(P<0.01);The factors of male and female anxious emotions were negatively correlated with appearance,sports,ability,merit and helping others,and the correlation coefficient was between-0.472 and-0.073(P<0.01).The discipline of male students was negatively correlated with generalized anxiety and fear of school(P<0.05).There was no correlation with somatization/panic,dissociative anxiety and social fear(P>0.05).There was a low negative correlation between school fear and discipline(P <0.01),but no correlation between discipline and other factors(P>0.05).(4)Results of mediating effect test: Body self-esteem plays a mediating role in the process of physical activity affecting anxiety emotion to a certain extent,and gender has no regulating effect on physical activity and body self-esteem.Research conclusion:(1)The physical activity of Grade 6 pupils in Chengdu is mostly at the middle level,and the physical activity level of boys is higher than that of girls;Physical self-esteem and anxiety were not objective,especially in girls.(2)Physical self-esteem of 6th grade students in Chengdu was positively correlated with physical activity,but negatively correlated with anxiety,which was negatively correlated with physical activity,namely,physical activity was a positive factor for improving physical self-esteem and relieving anxiety of 6th grade students in Chengdu.(3)The mediating effect of body self-esteem is greater than that of anxiety emotion,that is,body self-esteem plays a mediating role in the process of physical activity affecting anxiety emotion to some extent.The level of physical activity can not only directly affect anxious mood,but also affect anxious mood by improving physical self-esteem. |
