Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The prevalence of academic stress among college students necessitates a comprehensive exploration of its detrimental effects on mental health. In this study I investigated the association between academic stress and mental health, while concurrently examining the moderating influence of resilience. The research sample consisted of 303 Chinese college students, who participated in a paper-based survey. I employed hierarchical multiple regression analysis to assess the proposed hypotheses. The findings revealed a negative association between academic stress and mental health, highlighting the significant role of resilience as a protective factor mitigating this adverse impact. By enhancing understanding of the link between academic stress and mental health in college students, this study extends prior research and provides valuable insights into this domain.
