The relationship between college students’ autonomous fitness behavior and mental health literacy: chain mediating effect test
Among the surveyed college students, autonomous fitness behavior influences mental health literacy directly and indirectly through the independent mediating effects of self-control and exercise identity, as well as their chain mediating effect. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the mechanism linking autonomous fitness behavior to mental health literacy, which may inform targeted mental health interventions in higher education settings.
