Considering the significance of resilience in coping with adversity, how to improve college students’ resilience is worthy of attention. Previous studies have revealed that physical activity can promote resilience; however, few studies examined the mediating factors between them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity on resilience, as well as the mediating effects of competence need, autonomy need, and relatedness need between physical activity and resilience. The study involved 2375 college students (1110 males and 1265 females), with an average age of 20.25 years (SD = 2.04). Participants completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, Basic Needs Satisfaction in General Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Results showed that physical activity was positively associated with resilience, and the three basic needs played significant mediating roles between physical activity and resilience. The indirect effect of competence need was significantly greater than that of autonomy need and relatedness need. To conclude, physical activity plays an important role in resilience among college students, and the satisfaction of competence, autonomy, and relatedness needs mediates the relationship between physical activity and resilience, among which, competence need appears as the strongest mediator.

El papel que adopte el profesor durante las clases de EF es fundamental para conseguir que el alumnado se implique activamente. El objetivo del estudio consistió en validar y adaptar la Escala Docente de Control Psicológico (PCT) al contexto español de EF, con el fin de tener una escala para medir el control psicológico del profesor sobre el alumnado y analizar la relación existente respecto a las cuatro frustraciones de las necesidades psicológicas. Para responder al objetivo del estudio se han empleado dos muestras independientes pertenecientes a varios centros educativos de secundaria. Para analizar las propiedades psicométricas del PCT se ha realizado un análisis factorial confirmatorio, una análisis de invarianza respecto al género y una análisis de fiabilidad. Para analizar la relación entre el control del docente y la frustración de las cuatro necesidades psicológicas se realizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados han apoyado la validez y fiabilidad de la estructura del cuestionario, mostrándose invariante respecto al género. El control psicológico ejercido por el docente actuó como predictor de los factores que integran la frustración de las necesidades psicológicas básicas, estando en línea con los postulados de la teoría de la autodeterminación. Abstract. The role that teachers adopt during PE classes is fundamental to ensure that students are actively involved. The aim of the study was to validate and adapt the Psychological Control Teaching Scale (PCT) to the Spanish context of PE, in order to have a scale to measure teachers’ psychological control over students and to analyze its relationship with the four frustrations of psychological needs. To answer the objective of the study, two independent samples belonging to several secondary schools were selected. To analyze the psychometric properties of the PCT, confirmatory factorial analysis, as well as invariance analysis by gender and reliability analysis were carried out. To analyze the relationship between teachers’ control and frustration of the four psychological needs, a model of structural equations was built. The results supported the validity and reliability of the structure of the questionnaire, the model being invariant by gender. Teachers’ psychological control acted as a predictor of the factors that trigger frustration of basic psychological needs, our outcomes being in line with the postulates of the theory of self-determination.
