Physical activity and happiness of college students: chain mediating role of exercise attitude and sleep quality by Kehan Li, Roxana Dev Omar Dev, Wenhao Li

“…In addition, the effect of physical activity on happiness is most significant through exercise attitude. (3) Although sleep quality did not significantly mediate the relationship between physical activity and happiness alone, it played a positive role in the chain mediation path of “physical activity → exercise attitude → sleep quality → happiness.”DiscussionThe discovery of the chain mediation path shows that physical activity not only affects happiness, but also indirectly affects college students’ happiness through the combined effects of psychological and physiological factors.…”
