Abstract EN
Social networks are a complex system that members communicate, create new connections or destroy existing connections, and further deliver major impacts on each member’s life.
Given the spread of the Internet and increased academic pressure, sedentary and prescreen behaviors are very common among adolescents; meanwhile, sports behaviors are gradually decreasing.
This situation has had an adverse effect on health.
This paper used a questionnaire survey to investigate the influence of social networks on adolescent sports behavior, including the intermediary role of social efficacy and moderating effect of self-presentation.
The questionnaire survey was conducted on 568 students from 6 high schools in Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong Provinces.
After this, factor analysis and weighted least squares method were used for the empirical test.
Based on theoretical and empirical analysis, this paper found the following: (1) Social networks of adolescents have obvious positive predictive effects on their sports behavior.
A single online social network and an offline social network, instrumental network, emotional network, and mixed network have obvious positive predictive effects on adolescent sports behaviors.
However, under the influence of multiple types of social networks, an offline social network has a negative predictive effect, while a mixed network has effects that are not as obvious.
(2) Social efficacy plays an intermediary role in the relationship between social network and adolescent sports behavior.
(3) The moderating effect of self-presentation is not significant.
