What are the main factors that affect college students' mental health?

1, environmental change

Psychological research shows that great changes in the individual's environment will also make individuals feel psychological pressure. Although environmental change is also a part of life events, it has a prominent impact on individual adaptation.

2. Academic expectations

The important feature of college students' learning is learning autonomy. Students become the main body of learning activities, and teachers are the guides of learning activities. Therefore, college students are facing great changes in their learning methods, learning contents and learning habits, which also includes a reassessment of their learning ability.

3. Interpersonal relationships

Compared with middle school students, college students' interpersonal relationships are more extensive and profound, and their roles are more diversified. College students from different regions, different educational backgrounds and different economic conditions come to college with their own living habits and academic expectations, and the adaptation of new interpersonal relationships is an important topic for college students. There are not only understanding of the relationship between teachers and students, but also getting along with classmates and dormitories, as well as adapting to heterosexual communication.

4. Self-awareness

University life is always colorful and desirable. However, after college students enter the university, due to the changes in their study life and their own specialties, most people's self-evaluation is gradually changing. These are not only manifested in academic performance and daily life, but also in knowledge, interpersonal communication and personal comprehensive ability. Self-knowledge will also appear bipolar oscillation. It is easy to be conceited when you get some achievements, and easy to feel inferior when you encounter setbacks. It is very important for every college student to constantly adjust their self-cognition.

5. Psychological conflict

Psychological conflict refers to a contradictory psychological state when there are two or more opposing or mutually exclusive motives in individual purposeful behavior. Psychological conflict often leads to partial or total dissatisfaction with motivation, and at the same time hinders the realization of the goal pointed by motivation. Motivation is related to frustration, and it is also an important reason for frustration and psychological pressure. The psychological conflicts of college students are not only the unique psychological conflicts of the only child, poor students and other groups, but also the problems faced by individual development, such as study and employment, study and emotion.

6. Life events

Life events refer to all kinds of changes in social life that people encounter in their daily lives. Life events are not only a method to measure stress, but also an important indicator to predict physical and mental health. A large number of studies show that even moderate stress events, if they continue to occur, will accumulate resistance to individuals, so they are very serious. College students will have obvious psychological discomfort if they experience alienation of interpersonal relationship, failure of evaluation and lovelorn.

7. Family environment

The influence of family mainly includes four aspects: the emotional atmosphere of family, parents' parenting attitude, family structure and family economic situation. Family is the cornerstone of life, and parents are children's first teachers, which have a long-term and far-reaching impact on students' growth and success. The emotional atmosphere of the family is the prerequisite for the formation of good psychological quality. The language and interpersonal atmosphere between family members directly affect the psychology of each family member, which is of special significance to college students with mature personality.
