Introduction: Based on the theory of use and satisfaction, this study explores the impact of esports on adolescents' mental health, and specifically analyzes the three aspects of esports participation, viewing and consumption, as well as the impact of achievement motivation, social motivation and immersion motivation, and sports participation on adolescents' mental health. This study divides adolescent mental health into four dimensions: positive emotion, negative emotion, behavioral symptoms and cognitive function, constructs and validates a model, and reveals the complex influence mechanism of esports, game motivation and sports participation on adolescent mental health. Researchers attempt to explore how to promote adolescent psychological health through esports, gaming motivation, and sports participation. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design and self-report scales, a total of 1037 valid questionnaires were collected from adolescent esports players. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares to calculate the structural equation model proposed by the researchers to test the relevant hypotheses. The research findings were then drafted into an interview outline for further interviews with adolescent esports players, practitioners, and journalists to verify practical phenomena and gain managerial implications. Results: The research results indicate that esports negatively impact the psychological health of adolescents; achievement motivation and social motivation in gaming motivation positively influence the psychological health of adolescents, while immersion motivation negatively affects the psychological health of adolescents; the negative impact of esports on the psychological health of adolescents, in part, is mediated by immersion motivation; under the moderating effect of sports participation, esports can positively influence the psychological health of adolescents. Conclusion: The research findings of this article confirm that individual esports are detrimental to the psychological health of adolescents. We should pay more attention to the moderating effect of sports participation, which contributes to the positive effects of esports on promoting the psychological health of adolescents. Researchers suggest that schools and community organizations conduct regular mental health checks and hold seminars. Schools and community organizations should formulate guidelines and policies to encourage adolescents to participate in sports activities to promote social interaction and teamwork, balancing the negative impact of esports.
