Fitness-related self-conscious emotions (SCEs) have been proposed as antecedents of exercise addiction (EA). However, the potential mechanisms underlying such a relationship remain unexplored. The present study examined the relationship between fitness-related SCEs and risk of EA, as well as the mediating role of passion for exercise. A total of 296 male runners (M = 40.35 years, SD = 10.69) completed a survey assessing weekly exercise frequency/hours, fitness-related SCEs, passion for exercise, and the risk of EA. The relationships between the study variables were examined using structural equation modeling. After controlling for age and weekly exercise frequency/hours, fitness-related SCEs of shame, guilt, and hubristic pride were positively associated with risk of EA. However, while guilt had direct effects on risk of EA, shame and hubristic pride showed indirect effects via obsessive passion. The results of the study are discussed, and some practical implications and future research directions are presented.

与健身相关的自我意识情绪（SCE）被认为是运动成瘾（EA）的前因。然而，这种关系背后的潜在机制仍有待探索。本研究探讨了与健身相关的 SCE 与 EA 风险之间的关系，以及运动热情的中介作用。共有 296 名男性跑步者（M  = 40.35 岁，SD  = 10.69）完成了一项调查，评估每周运动频率/小时、与健身相关的 SCE、运动热情以及 EA 风险。使用结构方程模型检查研究变量之间的关系。在控制年龄和每周锻炼频率/小时后，与健身相关的羞耻、内疚和傲慢骄傲等 SCE 与 EA 风险呈正相关。然而，虽然内疚对 EA 风险有直接影响，但羞耻和傲慢的骄傲却通过强迫性热情表现出间接影响。讨论了研究结果，并提出了一些实际意义和未来的研究方向。
