C’, physical activity → Internet addiction; a1b1, physical activity → self-efficacy → internet addiction; a2b2, physical activity → self-control → Internet addiction; a1a3b2, physical activity → self-efficacy → self-control → Internet addiction; a1b1 has the opposite sign of the C’ effect size. And its proportion does not have a good effect size, so it is no longer expressed.
