青少年性别角色与体质健康的关系:体育行为的中介作用及性别差异

The relationship between gender roles and physical health in adolescents:The mediating role of sports behavior and gender difference

为探究青少年性别角色、体育行为和体质健康的关系,从北京市6所中学选取1051名初二和高二学生进行量表测试和体质测量,采用结构方程模型分析青少年性别角色对体质健康的直接效应和间接效应。结果显示:男性化特质对体质健康的直接效应不显著,女性化特质能够显著正向预测体质健康。男性化特质和女性化特质均可以通过体育行为间接影响体质健康,但青少年性别角色影响体质健康的中介模型不存在显著性别差异。结果表明:青少年的男性化特质不能直接影响体质健康,但可以通过体育行为间接影响体质健康;青少年的女性化特质不仅可以直接影响体质健康,还可以通过体育行为间接影响体质健康。青少年性别角色对体质健康的影响机制在男女生中相一致。

In order to investigate the relationship among gender roles,sports behavior and physical health,a total of 1051 second-grade students in junior high school and in senior high school from 6 schools in Beijing were recruited to participant in questionnaire survey and physical measurement.The structural equation model was used to analyze the direct and indirect effects of gender roles on physical health in adolescents.Results show that:the direct effect of masculine trait on physical health was not significant,but feminine trait can significantly and positively predict to physical health.Both masculine and feminine trait had indirect effects on physical health through sports behavior,but there was no significant gender difference of mediation model that adolescents’gender roles affects physical health.The conclusion is that,as for adolescents,masculine trait had indirect effect on physical health by sports behavior,rather than the direct effect.Feminine trait had direct effect on physical health,as well as indirect effect on physical health through sports behavior.The effect mechanism of adolescent gender roles on physical health were the same for both boys and girls.
