客观的。邻里劣势 (ND)、不文明行为和犯罪对少数族裔妇女的影响尤为严重，阻碍了体育活动 (PA)。社会支持 (SS) 是促进少数民族妇女 PA 的文化工具。社会支持环境可能会促进弱势社区的 PA，但很少有研究调查社会支持在少数族裔妇女中的中介作用。本研究考察了 SS 在 ND、不文明行为、犯罪和 PA 之间的中介作用。方法。健康就是力量研究旨在提高德克萨斯州休斯顿和奥斯汀的非裔美国人和西班牙裔拉丁裔女性 (N = 410) 的 PA。 ND 和犯罪数据取自国家邻里犯罪研究。使用行人环境数据扫描（PEDS）来测量不文明行为。 SS 使用家人和朋友支持运动习惯量表进行测量，体力活动使用国际体育活动问卷进行测量。线性回归分析用于按照 Baron 和 Kenny 方法检验 SS 作为中介变量。结果。 ND 与 PA 和 SS 呈负相关。 SS 不是中介因素，因为它与 ND、犯罪和不文明行为 (F-(3,F-264) = 2.02, p > .05) 或 PA (F-(1,F-266) = 3.8 p = .052) 没有显着相关。结论。 ND 显着抑制 PA 并限制 SS。未来的研究应侧重于制定克服这些负面环境因素的策略。由爱思唯尔公司出版
Objective. Neighborhood disadvantage (ND), incivilities, and crime disproportionately impact minority women, discouraging physical activity (PA). Social support (SS) is a cultural tool promoting PA in minority women. Socially supportive environments may promote PA in disadvantaged neighborhoods, yet few studies have investigated the mediating role of social support among minority women. This study examined SS as a mediator among ND, incivilities, crime, and PA.Methods. The Health Is Power study aimed to increase PA in African American and Hispanic Latina women (N = 410) in Houston and Austin, TX. ND and crime data were taken from the National Neighborhood Crime Study. Incivilities were measured using the Pedestrian Environment Data Scan (PEDS). SS was measured using the Family and Friend Support for Exercise Habits scale and physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Linear regression analysis was used to examine SS as a mediator following the Baron and Kenny method.Results. ND was negatively associated with PA and SS. SS was not a mediator as it was not significantly associated with ND, crime, and incivilities (F-(3,F-264) = 2.02, p > .05) or PA (F-(1,F-266) = 3.8 p = .052).Conclusion. ND significantly discourages PA and limits SS. Future research should focus on developing strategies to overcoming these negative environmental factors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
