Abstract
The present study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between physical activity behaviors and affective control among college students. The study adopted a quantitative research design. In order to obtain a representative sample, the study will use a stratified random sampling method to select a certain number of respondents from students of different grade levels. The sample included a total of 386 college students from the College. By investigating the basic profiles of the student respondents in terms of gender, age, grade level, and college affiliation, as well as their behaviors in terms of frequency, intensity, duration, and type of physical activity, the associations between these factors and the level of affective control were examined. The study also assessed students' performance in terms of emotional intensity, emotional stability, emotional expression, and emotional regulation strategies and explored possible associations between these aspects and physical activity behavior. In the mental health support and counseling services for university students, special attention should be paid to the emotional expression of students of different age groups, and corresponding mental health education and support should be provided. It is recommended that relevant policies and programs should be formulated to encourage all university students to participate in physical exercise in order to promote the health and vitality of the whole campus. It is recommended that the ability to control emotions should be incorporated into students' comprehensive quality development programs, so as to enhance students' confidence in their own learning and life.
