چکیده مقاله :
The present study was designed and implemented with the porpouse of examining the mediating role of physical literacy in the relationship between mental health literacy and social problem-solving ability in 2022. The statistical population consisted of female students of Marvdasht Azad University who had chosen general physical education in 2022. Due to the limited statistical population, the entire statistical population (250 people) was selected as a sample and tested. Then, the subjects completed the physical literacy, mental health literacy, and social problem-solving ability questionnaires. The information obtained was analyzed and examined in two parts: 1- In the descriptive findings section, the mean and standard deviation and 2- In the inferential findings section, the hypotheses were analyzed using a causal-structural model test using the path analysis method. The research data were analyzed using two software SPSS version 24 and AMOS version 22. The results showed that the mental health literacy variable was able to predict the social problem-solving ability variable and the physical literacy variable directly (positively). The physical literacy variable was able to predict the social problem-solving ability variable directly (positively). The mental health literacy variable had a positive indirect effect on social problem-solving ability through the physical literacy variable as a mediator. It can be concluded that the physical literacy variable as a mediator showed a stronger role in predicting social problem-solving ability.
