Variables predicting the mental health status of Chinese college students
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine variables that affected the mental health of Chinese college students. The variables were ethnicity, gender, age, place of origin, and level of satisfaction with major. Mental health status was classified into Groups A, B, and C, as measured by the University Personality Inventory. Group A referred to students with severe mental health problems necessitating counseling services, Group B students experienced adjustment problems, and Group C students had no symptoms of mental health problems. The results indicated that ethnicity, gender, age, and level of satisfaction with one's major could significantly differentiate Group A and Group C students. The strongest predictor of Group A and Group B relative to the Group C membership was the level of satisfaction with one's major. Implications and directions for future studies were presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
