Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the level of the participation in and the attitude towards school physical education, and the relationship with the academic stress, ego-resilience and psychological wellbeing of high school students. First, the participation in and attitude toward school physical education of youth showed a positive correlation with ego-resilience and psychological wellbeing, but a negative correlation with academic stress. Second, high academic stress was observed in the cluster with low participation and a negative attitude, and in the cluster with medium participation and a neutral attitude toward school physical education. Third, ego-resilience demonstrated the highest levels in the cluster with high participation and a positive attitude. Finally, the highest psychological wellbeing was found among those with high participation and a positive attitude.
