Sport Motivation and Aggression in Undergraduates with Mediation Analysis

485 students aged 18–25 from a public university completed validated scales for sport motivation, emotional intelligence, self-control, and aggression. The dataset includes results from a serial mediation analysis showing sport motivation's association with lower aggression via emotional intelligence and self-control. The data was shared by Lili Wang on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Testing serial mediation models based on the described psychological pathways.
• Analyzing associations between sport motivation and behavioral outcomes based on the survey scales.
• Replicating statistical analyses using percentile bootstrapping as described in the methods.

Strengths

• Includes data from 485 participants, providing a sample for statistical analysis.
• Uses validated Chinese versions of four established psychological scales.
• Analysis controls for sex and age, and includes sensitivity tests with alternative operationalizations.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a cross-sectional self-report study of a specific undergraduate population, limiting causal and generalizability claims.
• The dataset is 51.3 KB, indicating a very limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw survey data.
