Abstract:

This study explored how participating in physical activities influences the social adjustment of college freshmen, focusing on the role of perceived social support and the chain effects of cognitive reappraisal and psychological resilience. A survey was conducted with 1,061 college freshmen from Zhejiang Province using five scales: the Physical Activity Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Cognitive Reappraisal Scale, Psychological Resilience Scale, and Social Adjustment Capacity Scale. The results showed that physical activity positively enhances social adjustment, with cognitive reappraisal and psychological resilience serving as mediators. Additionally, perceived social support was found to strengthen this chain-mediated relationship. This research provides new perspectives on the link between physical activity and social adjustment in college freshmen and offers practical suggestions for improving physical education programs.
