- Abstract
The relationship between college students' leisure involvement and subjective well-being is discussed in depth in the context of the COVID-19, and research questions are posed through the mediating roles of fluency experience and leisure satisfaction. A questionnaire survey was administered by convenience sampling on March 6,2023, to 1169 college students who were evaluated using the leisure involvement, fluency, leisure satisfaction, and subjective well-being scales. Simultaneously, we employed descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS Windows software version 26.0 and AMOS, Pearson Correlation, Mediator effect analysis. There was a significant correlation between leisure involvement and subjective well-being among college students (r = 0.663, p < 0.01). Leisure involvement significantly affected the direct path of college students' views of subjective happiness (β = 0.593, t = 7.787, p < 0.01). Meanwhile, leisure involvement positively influence fluency experience (β = 0.766, t = 6.755, p < 0.01) and leisure satisfaction (β = 0.363, t = 2.650, p < 0.01); fluency experience significantly and positively influence subjective well-being (β = 0.252, t = 4.338, p < 0.01); and leisure satisfaction significantly and positively influence subjective well-being (β = 0.305, t = 6.206, p < 0.01). Additionally, college students' fluency experience in sports and leisure satisfaction significantly mediate the relationship between leisure involvement and subjective well-being. The mediating effect consisted of three indirect effects: leisure involvement →fluency experience →subjective well-being, leisure involvement →leisure satisfaction →subjective well-being, and leisure involvement →fluency experience →leisure satisfaction →subjective well-being. The study showed that leisure involvement not only directly influence the subjective well-being of college students but also influence subjective well-being through independent mediating and chain mediating effects of fluency experience and leisure satisfaction.
