This study examines the correlation between physical exercise and social adjustment in Chinese university students (<i>N</i> = 672), with peer attachment and self-esteem acting as significant mediators. The analysis revealed a significant indirect effect through peer attachment (effect = 0.0376, 95% CI [0.0091, 0.0588]), self-esteem (effect = 0.2101, 95% CI [0.2730, 0.3690]), and a sequential mediation pathway (effect = 0.0055, 95% CI [0.0023, 0.0224]). Physical activity promotes social ties by encouraging peer bonding, which subsequently facilitates social adaptation. Moreover, self-esteem, a crucial element of psychological resilience, mediates the relationship between physical exercise and social adaptation. Importantly, a sequential mediation pathway-peer attachment-self-esteem-social adjustment-was supported, suggesting that peer relationships enhance self-esteem, which in turn improves social adaptation. This ordering aligns with theories emphasizing the influence of social feedback on self-concept (e.g., Reflected Appraisals Theory, Sociometer Theory). These findings underscore the comprehensive advantages of physical activity and support efforts to promote exercise in academic settings to facilitate student well-being and psychosocial development.</p>","PeriodicalId":12525,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Psychology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1525811"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12106527/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144157883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also contributes to increased conflict and heightened feelings of jealousy within relationships. These findings underscore the far-reaching implications of Pphubbing on both individual and relational well-being.

The review involved a comprehensive search of 12 databases in English, Spanish, and Turkish, with the last search conducted on June 2nd, 2024. Studies included were true experimental or quasi-experimental designs featuring direct CL interventions in PE, covering students of both genders from primary school to university levels. The standardized Cochrane methods were used to identify eligible records, collect and combine data, and assess the risk of bias. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) v4 software package was used to yield a summary of quantitative results. Hedges's <i>g</i> was used as the effect size (ES) measure, calculated from pre- and post-tests in both experimental and control groups. Forty-three studies (comprising 60 reports) were initially included, but three studies were excluded as outliers, leaving 40 studies (56 reports) with a total of 3.985 participants for analysis. The random effects model revealed a moderate positive overall effect of CL interventions (ES = 0.459, 95% CI = [0.324, 0.592], <i>p</i> < 0.001), indicating that CL enhances PE students' learning across four domains.

This study proposes a novel formulation of these emotions using two types of information gain derived from the principle of free energy minimization: Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD), representing free energy reduction through recognition, and Bayesian surprise (BS), representing free energy reduction via Bayesian updating. Conventional Gaussian models predict an infinite divergence in information gain (KLD and BS) as prediction error increases, which contradicts the known limits of human cognitive resources. The key novelty of this study lies in a simple yet impactful modification: incorporating a uniform distribution into the Gaussian likelihood function to model neural activity under conditions of large prediction error. This modification yields an inverted U-shaped relationship between prediction error and both KLD and BS, producing a finite peak in information gain that better reflects cognitive realism. Based on this convexity, we propose that alternating the maximization of BS and KLD generates an ideal inquiry cycle that fluctuates around an optimal arousal level, with curiosity and interest driving this process. We further analyze how prediction uncertainty (prior variance) and observation uncertainty (likelihood variance) affect the peak of information gain. The results suggest that greater prediction uncertainty (reflecting open-mindedness) and lower observation uncertainty (indicating focused observation) promote higher information gains through broader exploration. This mathematical framework integrates the brain's free energy principle with arousal potential theory, providing a unified explanation of the Wundt curve as an information gain function and proposing an ideal inquiry process driven by epistemic emotions.</p>","PeriodicalId":12525,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Psychology","volume":"16 ","pages":"1438080"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12109038/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144157874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
