Table 1_Daily physical activity associated with suicidal ideation in college students: an

A Chinese university sample of 208 undergraduate students with elevated suicidal ideation provided data via a 14-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) study. The dataset, created by Yimeng Ma and last updated in May 2026, contains daily self-reports of physical activity and suicidal ideation. It was used to examine day-level associations and the moderating role of childhood maltreatment.

Use Cases

• Modeling day-level associations between physical activity and suicidal ideation based on within-person EMA data.
• Investigating the moderating effect of childhood maltreatment on the relationship between activity type and mental health outcomes.
• Comparing the effects of individual versus team-based physical activity on same-day evening suicidal ideation.

Strengths

• Data was collected using a two-stage design including a baseline survey and a 14-day ecological momentary assessment (EMA) phase.
• Analyses are based on a final sample of 208 participants with elevated suicidal ideation, providing a focused study population.
• The dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and verification.

Limitations

• The study was conducted at a single Chinese university, which may limit generalizability to other populations.
• Data relies on self-reported daily physical activity and a single-item EMA measure of suicidal ideation.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
