Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of perceived discrimination on anxiety among college students in physical education (PE) majors, and to determine the longitudinal mediating role of core self-evaluations and redundant thinking, so as to provide reference for preventing and treating anxiety in the population. Methods A total of 2 335 college students in PE majors were selected from six colleges and universities in Jiangxi Province, China, for four surveys by using type sampling. The baseline period was March 2022 (T1), and three follow-up surveys were conducted at 6-month intervals (T2, T3, T4). Students were surveyed at each time period using the Discrimination Perception Scale for College Students in Physical Education, the Core Self-esteem Scale, the Redundancy Reflections Scale, and the Anxiety Self-rating Scale. Cross-lagged models were constructed to analyze the data. Results Statistically significant correlations were found between T1 and T4 discrimination perceptions, core self-evaluations, redundant thinking and anxiety (r=-0.55-0.77, P < 0.01). Perceived discrimination in T2 significantly and positively affected anxiety in T4 (β=0.15, P < 0.01). Perceived discrimination in T1 indirectly affected anxiety in T3 through the mediating effect of core self-evaluations in T2 (mediation effect value of 0.001, mediation effect size of 12.48%), while perceived discrimination in T2 indirectly affected anxiety in T4 through the mediating effect of core self-evaluations in T3 (mediation effect value of 0.001, mediation effect size of 12.48%). Mood (mediation effect value of 0.011, mediation effect size of 13.31%) and perceived discrimination in T1 indirectly affected anxiety in T3 through the mediating effect of redundant thinking in T2 (mediation effect value of 0.015, mediation effect size of 18.12%). Conclusions Core self-evaluations and redundant thinking are identified as mediating variables in the relationship between perceived discrimination and anxiety among college students in PE majors. Focusing on perceived discrimination, core self-evaluations, and redundant thinking among sport majors may help to reduce anxiety.
