Abstract

Abstract Self-efficacy has recently become a topic of interest in mental health research. We examined the relationships among physical activity (PA) self-efficacy, general self-efficacy, and stress through the longitudinal study design. In the first year (Y1), 322 older adults who lived in Taichung City, Taiwan, participated in our study. Two years later (Y2), 161 of them again responded to the same questionnaire, which included PA self-efficacy, general self-efficacy, and stress scales. The questionnaire data were analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis. We observed that PA self-efficacy was significantly and positively correlated with general self-efficacy and that both were significantly and negatively correlated with stress at Y1 and Y2. Therefore, enhancing PA self-efficacy can be an effective element of programs designed to reduce stress in older adults.

台中市活跃老年人两种自我效能感类型与压力的纵向关系

自我效能感是近年来心理健康研究的热点之一。本研究采用纵向研究设计，探讨体育活动自我效能感、一般自我效能感与压力之间的关系。在第一年(Y1)， 322名居住在台湾台中市的老年人参与了我们的研究。两年后(Y2)，其中161人再次回答了同样的问卷，包括个人自我效能感、一般自我效能感和压力量表。通过层次回归分析对问卷数据进行分析。我们观察到，PA自我效能感与一般自我效能感呈显著正相关，两者与Y1和Y2的压力呈显著负相关。因此，增强老年人自我效能感是老年人减压计划的有效组成部分。
