The sample included 734 children aged between 10 and 12 years of age from the province of Granada (Spain). A multi-group structural equation model was used, with an excellent fit (CFI = 0.964; NFI = 0.954; IFI = 0.964; RMSEA = 0.048). The results showed a positive relationship between the problematic use of video games, victimisation and violent behaviors, associating negatively with the task climate. Likewise, the task-oriented motivational climate was indirectly related to victimisation situations and violent behavior, while the ego climate did so positively with special emphasis on children who did not perform physical activity. As a main conclusion it is shown that adherence to the practice of physical activity, and particularly within a task-oriented motivational climate, can act as a protective factor against the problematic use of video games.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Motivation}, keywords = {New technologies}, keywords = {Leisure time}, keywords = {Bullying}, title = {Motivational Climate Is Associated with Use of Video Games and Violence in Schoolchildren: A Structural Equation Model According to Healthy Behaviors}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph17041272}, author = {Castro Sánchez, Manuel and Lara Sánchez, Amador Jesús and García Mármol, Eduardo and Chacón Cuberos, Ramón}, }
