Family structure generally refers to the relationship between parents in the family, including single-parent families, reorganized families, families without relatives and normal families. At the same time, from the students' point of view, one-child families and families with many children also belong to the family structure. Different family structures have different effects on students' mental health. However, it should be noted that the influence of family structure on students is not formed after students become students, but at the moment when family structure is formed or even before. For example, in a normal family, the death of mother in junior high school has had a psychological impact on students.
2. The influence of family education
Family education is the main way for students to receive education, which has different functions from school education. School education is mainly to teach students scientific and cultural knowledge, and family education is more to educate students' ideological and moral, behavior habits and so on. However, in the decades since the implementation of the one-child policy, many one-child families have appeared in China. Some children have received education of protection and love since childhood, which makes them psychologically fragile and unable to bear setbacks. When they arrive at university, without the protection of their families, students will naturally have a serious sense of frustration in the face of insurmountable difficulties and setbacks, and then lose themselves and deny themselves.
3. The influence of family atmosphere
Family atmosphere refers to the harmonious relationship between family members, which will have an impact on students from an early age and will get deeper and deeper until they enter the university or even leave. For example, in a family, mom and dad are not good at expressing themselves, and they rarely communicate on weekdays. They always do their own things. In such an atmosphere, college students may form an introverted and inarticulate personality from an early age, and there are psychological communication obstacles. In a family with frequent quarrels, students are influenced by disharmonious factors since childhood, so when they grow up, they will also form a irritable personality, which will lead to problems in their mental health at school.
