The Influence and Mechanism of Chinese Martial Arts on Improving Interpersonal Skills in Adolescents: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstrct
Unlike other forms of martial arts, Chinese Wushu can fortify both the physical and mental health of adolescents. However, limited research has been conducted on the social benefits derived from Chinese martial arts. Grounded in the principles of embodied cognition theory, this study employs the technique of a randomized controlled trial to establish a causal link between Chinese martial arts and the development of interpersonal skills in adolescents. It further explores the mediating role of psychological quality and the potential moderating influence of an only-child status. The practice of Chinese martial arts exhibits a substantial positive impact on interpersonal skills (β=0.161, p < 0.01). Additionally, psychological wellbeing fully mediates the relationship between Chinese martial arts and interpersonal skills (β=0.017, 95% CI= [-0.098, 0.146]). Intriguingly, the mediating role of psychological wellbeing is moderated by the factor of only-child status (β=0.216, 95% CI= [0.050, 0.390]). Embodied cognition theory posits that the integration of internal psychological processes with external bodily dynamics leads to a state of harmony and unity. Training in Chinese martial arts enhances psychological well-being through the interaction between the body and its environment. Furthermore, due to the compensation effect and peer influence, Chinese martial arts as a teamwork are particularly advantageous for only children. Training in Chinese martial arts enhances psychological quality by harmonizing internal psychological processes with external bodily dynamics. Furthermore, due to the compensation effect and peer influence, practicing Chinese martial arts as a group activity proves particularly advantageous for only children. The conclusion of this study integrates the principles of Chinese martial arts with embodied cognition theory, providing both a theoretical framework and practical insights. These findings are intended to inform and guide policy formulation regarding Chinese martial arts education by the relevant authorities.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
