| Abstract: | While evidence supports the link between physical activity and subjective well-being, fewer studies have explored this influence relationship from a social stratification perspective. The study thus examines whether the impact of physical activity on subjective well-being varies across different social classes, utilizing data from the China Family Panel Studies for the period 2018 to 2020. The results of multivariate logistic regression indicate that physical activity has the most significant impact on subjective well-being in the middle social class, followed by a moderate effect in the lower class, and no discernible effect in the high social class. These findings provide a valuable direction for effectively promoting subjective well-being across different social strata through sports participation. Our study contributes meaningfully to the literature on social stratification and health disparities in the context of physical activity and well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
