Table 3 Multivariate OR and 95% CI of higher SPSI-R and subscales according to physical activity

From: Attitude and practice of physical activity and social problem-solving ability among university students

 

Physical activity

P value for linear trend

Do not exercise

Exercise but not regularly

Exercise regularly

And never think about doing so

But intend to start

Try to exercise

Abbreviations: AS avoidance style, CI confidence interval, DM decision making, GAS generation of alternative solutions, ICS impulsivity/carelessness style, NPO negative problem orientation, OR odds ratio, PDF problem definition and formulation, PPO positive problem orientation, RPS rational problem solving, SIV solution implementation and verification, and SPSI-R Social Problem-Solving Inventory–Revised
  2. The outcomes were higher for SPSI-R, PPO, NPO, RPS, PDF, GAS, DM, SIV, ICS, and AS
  3. Multivariate ORs were adjusted for age in years (continuous variable), sex (men or women), and living alone (yes or no)
  4. The p value for the linear trend was estimated using the five categories of physical activity as a continuous variable
