摘要

Objective: Drawing on self-determination theory, this study examined the association between physical activity quality and psychological resilience among adolescents, and tested the sequential mediating roles of basic psychological need satisfaction and exercise enjoyment as well as the moderating effect of problematic screen use. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 687 junior secondary school students. Measures included physical activity quality, basic psychological need satisfaction in exercise, exercise enjoyment, psychological resilience, and problematic screen use. Data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 26.0, including descriptive statistics, common method bias testing, reliability and validity testing, confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling, bootstrap mediation analysis, interaction-term regression, and simple slope analysis. Results: Physical activity quality was significantly and positively associated with psychological resilience. Basic psychological need satisfaction and exercise enjoyment mediated this association both independently and sequentially, forming a pathway from physical activity quality to basic psychological need satisfaction, exercise enjoyment, and psychological resilience. Further analysis indicated that problematic screen use had a significant negative moderating effect on the association between exercise enjoyment and psychological resilience; that is, higher problematic screen use was associated with a weaker positive association between exercise enjoyment and psychological resilience, but did not completely offset the positive value of exercise enjoyment. Conclusion: The association between adolescent physical activity and psychological resilience is reflected not only in activity frequency and duration, but also in adolescents’ perceived autonomy, competence, relatedness support, and positive emotional experiences during physical activity. School physical education should therefore emphasize the optimization of sport experience quality and coordinate physical activity promotion with guidance on digital behavior management.
