| description | Introduction
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between leisure physical activity and high-risk behaviors with personality mediating role in students of University of Isfahan.
Method
The research method was descriptive-correlational and in terms of purpose was part of applied research that was conducted in the field. The statistical population of the study consisted of all students of University of Isfahan in the academic year 2020-2021(16,563 people) 375 people were selected as a sample by stratified sampling method using the Krejcie and Morgan’s table. A researcher-made checklist of leisure-time physical activity, high-risk behaviors, and personality questionnaires were used to collect data. The validity of the research tools and their reliability (by Cronbach's alpha test) were evaluated. Research data were collected in library and field sections. To analyze the research data, descriptive and inferential statistics was used.
Finding
The results showed that high-risk behaviors are less in the leisure time of active students. In addition, with increasing physical activity in leisure time, high-risk behaviors decrease. On the other hand, the more psychotic students are, the more high-risk behaviors are likely to happen. In addition, the separate relationships between leisure-time physical activity and personality with high-risk behaviors were significant.
Discussion
However, the results showed that when the personality variable was included in the relationship between leisure physical activity and high-risk behaviors, the relationship between the two variables became insignificant. Therefore, in order to reduce high-risk behaviors among students, it is better for university officials to increase the possibility of students participating in leisure-time physical activities by holding extracurricular sports classes and easy access to sports facilities. |
