Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship among sports motivation, sports attitude and happiness of non-sports major college students in China. Through the analysis and discussion of the relationship and influence between the three, it can help schools to fully understand the needs of students, timely adjust the content of education policies and plans, clarify the key and difficult points of teaching goals, and formulate sports programs that adapt to and meet the needs of students. In this paper, 814 college students were investigated using survey questionnaire, Data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, reliability and validity test, difference analysis and correlation analysis. Through the analysis, we have a deeper understanding of the intrinsic causal relationship between sports motivation, sports attitude and happiness. The results show that there is a significant relationship and positive correlation between sports motivation, sports attitude and happiness, that is, the stronger the sports motivation, the more positive the sports attitude; The higher the motivation of exercise, the higher the level of happiness; Positive attitude towards sports can effectively improve the happiness of college students. Therefore, schools should not only pay attention to students’ academic performance, but also pay more attention to students’ physical and mental health, social interaction and self-realization of happiness. According to the needs of students, the school gives corresponding policies and teaching support, and actively guides college students to participate in sports activities.
