Abstract
purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between the Individual, interpersonal and
cognitive-social factors with sports participation based on Bandura ' social-cognitive theory. Based on
the proposed model individual and interpersonal factors have failed to determine the sports
participation behavior directly, but it is determined by the mediating role of the social-cognitive
theory.
Methods: 1067 aged sample group consisted of seven provinces were selected using quota sampling
method.
The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire including some items of sports
participation, enjoyment of physical activity, self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, social support, beliefs
and attitudes towards exercise, social interaction, mental health and physical health.
Results: Validity and reliability of this questionnaire was verified using factor analysis. Structural
equation method was used for data analysis. Results showed that the model fits the data well (χ =
3/17, RMSE = 0.04).
Conclusions: Therefore, the results confirmed the important role of cognitive-social domains in the
relationship between individual, interpersonal and cognitive-social factors and sports participation.
