(Department of Physical Education,Luoyang Institute of Technology,Luoyang 471023,China) Abstract: By employing the physical exercise scale, the negative emotion scale, the self-efficacy scale and the re-silience scale to investigate 1 408 college students selected through a stratified cluster sampling, and SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 were adopted to analyze mediating effect and moderating effect. The results show that: (1) Physical ex-ercise can positively predict self-efficacy and mental resilience (individual power), and negatively predict de-pres-sion, anxiety and stress, as well as self-efficacy and mental resilience (individual power) can negatively predict de-pression, anxiety, and stress; (2) the mediating effects of self-efficacy and mental resilience (individual power) be-tween physical exercise and negative emotion accounted for 26.78% and 31.33% of the total effect, respectively, and that played a significant and partial mediation role between them, respectively; (3) the amount of R2 changes for the interaction between physical exercise and family support of mental resilience (supporting force) reached a sig-nificant level, and family support played a significant and negative moderating role between physical exercise and negative emotion, while the interaction from interpersonal assistance and physical exercise may not be signifi-cant and moderate the relationship between physical exercise and negative emotion.
