ABSTRACT

This study aims to construct a structural equation model utilizing data from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) for the years 2014-2015, with the objective of examining the factors influencing adolescent peer relationships from the perspective of the school physical education environment. The methodology involves data screening, organization, and structural equation modeling analysis conducted using STATA 16.0 software. The findings reveal a significant pathway (coefficient = 0.99) from the school physical education environment to adolescent peer relationships, validating a direct and positive impact of the school physical education environment on these relationships. Additionally, the mediating effect of sports participation is confirmed (mediation coefficient = 0.23). In conclusion, both the school physical education environment and the extent of sports participation exert both direct and indirect influences on adolescent peer relationships, with specific attention drawn to the prominent role of school sports facilities in shaping these interactions.
