Abstract: This study aimed 1) to investigate the relationship between social support, academic stress, self-esteem, resilience, mental health literacy, and mental health, and 2) to examine the factors affecting mental health among college students at Yuncheng Preschool Education College. The sample consisted of 362 college students at Yuncheng Preschool Education College selected through stratified random sampling. The research instruments were questionnaires measuring mental health, social support, academic stress, self-esteem, resilience, and mental health literacy. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that 1) social support, self-esteem, resilience, and mental health literacy were positively related to mental health, whereas academic stress was negatively related to mental health, and 2) academic stress, self-esteem, and resilience significantly affected mental health among Chinese college students. The findings suggest that reducing academic stress and strengthening psychological resources can effectively improve students’ mental health and well-being.
