The Mediating Effect of Emotional Self-regulation on the Relationship of perceived benefits of Dance Exercises/Physical Activity and Psychological Well -being

Abstract

 Students' emotional and mental well-being, as well as their artistic development, are crucial components of a well-rounded education in colleges and universities. Higher education now places a greater emphasis on the total enhancement of students' personal qualities, reflecting both the progression of human beings and the ongoing development of the social economy. The main objective of the study is to investigate how the level of psychological well-being influenced by dance exercises or physical activity and the function that emotional self-regulation plays as a mediator in this relationship. Based on the findings, the perceived benefits of dancing do influence the level of psychological well-being, which supports the other literature suggesting that dancing or any physical activity has a potential effect on psychological well-being. And, the researcher found out that emotional self-regulation indeed mediates the relationship between the perceived benefits of dancing and physical exercise.
