The Relationship Between Physical Exercise And Social Physique Anxiety Among College Student

The "Healthy China 2030" blueprint outlines that the construction and standardized management of mental health service systems will be strengthened in the next 15 years,and interventions for common mental disorders and psychological behavior problems such as depression and anxiety disorders will be enhanced.Social physique anxiety is a subtype of anxiety that is experienced when others make observations and evaluations of one’s physique.Physical exercise,as an economical and environmentally friendly intervention,has great benefits for alleviating social body anxiety.As a key population for psychological problem prevention,the findings of the study on social physique anxiety among college students can provide theoretical references for related work to properly guide the social physique anxiety group to participate in physical exercise and improve the physical and mental health of all people.In this study,1200 students were randomly selected from colleges and universities in Guizhou province by using questionnaires,and the relationship between physical exercise and social physique anxiety was studied based on theoretical studies at home and abroad,with selfobjectification and body image satisfaction as mediating variables.After recovering and organizing the data,SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the reliability of the scale,and descriptive analysis,independent sample t-test,and correlation analysis were performed on the data.And Model 6 in Process macro plug-in was used for mediating effect test.The conclusions were as follows:(1)The amount of physical exercise among college students was at a moderate level,the intensity of physical exercise was at a moderately low level,the duration and frequency of physical exercise were at a relatively high level,self-objectification was at a slightly high level,and body image satisfaction and social physical anxiety were at a controllable level.(2)In terms of physical exercise,there were significant differences in the factors of physical exercise intensity,time and exercise volume among college students of different genders,grades and majors,while there were no dramatic variance in exercise frequency.There were significant dissimilarity in self-objectification,body image satisfaction and social physical anxiety among college students of different genders,grades and majors.(3)The correlations between physical exercise,social physique anxiety,self-objectification and body image satisfaction among college students were vital.(4)Physical exercise negatively demonstrate social physique anxiety and self-objectification,and positively indicate body image satisfaction;self-objectification in a good manner suggest social physique anxiety and passively signify body image satisfaction;body image satisfaction inactively show social physique anxiety.(5)Both self-objectification and body image satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between physical exercise and social physique anxiety in college students.The chain mediating effect of "physical exercise→self-objectification→body image satisfaction→social physique anxiety" was established.
