On The Relations Among College Students, Learning Stress, Resiliency And Mental Health

Resiliency is such a personal characteristic that one behaves well under pressure or adverse circumstances. It acts as the mediator buffer variable between external pressure and mental health. Resiliency has a significant theoretical and practical significance to the increasingly severe college students'mental health crisis. Therefore, the present thesis tries to conduct an empirical study on the relations among college students'learning stress, their ego-resiliency and mental health.By adopting self-compiled Learning Anxiety Event Scale, Adult Resiliency Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale and Self-rating anxiety scale, the present research is intended to examine college students'learning stress, resiliency and the general situation of their mental health. It further explores the correlations among learning stress, resiliency and mental health (depression and anxiety) with Correlation Analysis and Regression. Finally a specific path model for resiliency to regulate mental health under the existence of learning anxiety is constructed. 734 undergraduate students including 40 graduate students participated the research as subjects.The findings are presented as follows: 1) There exist significant differences among learning strees, resiliency, and two dimensions of mental health (depression and anxiety) in the aspects of certain Demographic Variables. 2) Learning stress has a significant positive correlation with mental health, and a significant negative correlation exists between resiliency and mental health; 3) Learning stress and resiliency have high prediction value to mental health. 4) Resiliency exerts the medium effect between learning stress and mental health: resiliency is the mediator variable between learning stress and mental health; 5) The resarch results show, college students are such a group with high learning stress, and there exists a close correlation among their resiliency, learning stress and mental health; resiliency is the mediator buffer variable between learning stress and mental health.
