Cross-lagged panel relationship between physical activity atmosphere, psychological resilience and mobile phone addiction on college students

Abstract Mobile phone addiction (MPA) is widespread on university campuses and has many negative effects on individuals. A good physical activity atmosphere (PAA) has been shown to be effective in improving individuals’ mental health, including psychological resilience (PR), but it is not clear whet...

description Abstract Mobile phone addiction (MPA) is widespread on university campuses and has many negative effects on individuals. A good physical activity atmosphere (PAA) has been shown to be effective in improving individuals’ mental health, including psychological resilience (PR), but it is not clear whether it can alleviate MPA. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of both on MPA through a longitudinal study and provides a theoretical basis for reference. A total of 964 international students from different countries were selected from 8 colleges and universities in Beijing, and 2 longitudinal follow-up surveys were conducted using the Physical Activity Atmosphere Scale, the Psychological Resilience Scale, and the Mobile Phone Addiction Scale. Correlation and path model analyses were conducted using Pearson and cross-lagged panel model (CLPM). The correlation results showed that T1-PAA, T2-PAA were significantly positively correlated with T1-PR, T2-PR (r = 0.577, 0.306, P < 0.001) and T1-PR, T2-PR were significantly negatively correlated with T1-MPA, T2-MPA (= -0.225, -0.236, P < 0.001). CLPM results showed that college student PAA stably positively predicted PR (t = 0.518, P < 0.001). PAA (t = -0.131, P < 0.001) and PR (t = -0.159, P < 0.001) negatively predicted MPA levels. (1) Improving PAA not only alleviates MPA in college students, but also improves PR levels. (2) PR also has an inhibitory effect on MPA, so increasing PR will enhance the effect of PAA. (3) PAA negatively predicts MPA and positively predicts PR in college students.
