| description | The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of parental academic achievement pressure and physical activity on body image mediated by self-esteem. By examining a total of 1328 South Korean adolescents, this study yielded the following results. First, parental academic achievement pressure negatively affects self-esteem directly. Second, physical activity positively affects self-esteem directly. Third, self-esteem positively influences body image directly. Fourth, parental academic achievement pressure has a negative indirect effect on body image through the mediation of self-esteem. Fifth, physical activity has a positive indirect effect on body image through the mediation of self-esteem. These findings underscore the importance of appropriate physical activity, especially for adolescents under significant academic pressure. Physical activity can directly enhance self-esteem, which in turn improves body image. This study highlights the role of physical activity in mitigating the negative impact of parental academic achievement pressure on body image through self-esteem. |
