ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the complex interplay between college sports and campus social life, seeking to elucidate the reciprocal influences they have on each other. Through a combination of field surveys and literature reviews, the study examines the multifaceted impacts of college sports activities on campus social life, as well as the feedback effect of social dynamics on sports participation. The research uncovers a nuanced relationship between college sports and campus social life, revealing both positive and negative effects. On one hand, college sports can promote a sense of community, teamwork, and school spirit, enriching campus social life. On the other hand, excessive emphasis on sports can lead to academic neglect, social exclusion, and heightened competition, potentially detracting from the overall well-being of students. Furthermore, the study highlights the feedback effect of campus social life on college sports, suggesting that the social environment can influence students' motivation to participate in sports activities. For example, a vibrant social scene may encourage more students to engage in sports, while a negative social atmosphere could deter participation. Overall, the findings suggest that the relationship between college sports and campus social life is dynamic and multifaceted, with implications for students' physical and mental health, as well as their social interaction skills. The research underscores the importance of promoting a balanced approach to sports and social activities on college campuses, ensuring that both aspects contribute positively to students' overall college experience.
