Abstract:
Objective: To explore the relationship between college freshmen’s future time perspective and their mental health in the present and one year later, and the role of stress perceptions in this context, based on the dual model theory of mental health. Methods: A total of 1593 college freshmen were surveyed using the General Health Questionnaire, Life Satisfaction Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Future Time Perspective Questionnaire in August 2022 (T1), and followed up mental health surveys were conducted in October 2023 (T2). Results: Future time insight was significantly associated with mental health in T1 (rgeneral psychological problems=-0.57, p<0.001; rlife satisfaction=0.45, p<0.001), which was partially mediated by stress perception (β general psychological problems=0.68; β life satisfaction=-0.49), respectively. Future time insight was significantly associated with psychological well-being at T2 (rgeneral psychological problems=-0.27, p<0.001; rlife satisfaction=0.25, p<0.001), in which stress perceptions fully mediated (β general psychological problems=0.39; β life satisfaction=-0.35), respectively. Conclusion: College freshmen’ mental health maybe related to future time perspective and stress perception plays a mediating role between them.
目的:基于心理健康双模型理论,探讨大学新生未来时间洞察力与当下及一年后心理健康的关系,以及压力知觉在其中的作用。方法:2022年8月(T1)采用一般健康问卷、生活满意度量表、知觉压力量表和未来时间洞察力问卷,调查了天津市某高校的1593名大一新生,并在一年后(T2)对心理健康(一般健康问卷、生活满意度量表)进行追踪测评,探讨未来时间洞察力对当下和未来心理健康的预测及压力知觉的中介路径。结果:未来时间洞察力与T1心理健康显著相关(r一般心理问题=-0.57,p<0.001;r生活满意度=0.45,p<0.001),压力知觉分别在其中起部分中介作用(β一般心理问题=0.68;β生活满意度=-0.49)。未来时间洞察力与T2的心理健康显著相关(r一般心理问题=-0.27,p<0.001;r生活满意度=0.25,p<0.001),压力知觉分别在其中起完全中介作用(β一般心理问题=0.39;β生活满意度=-0.35)。结论:未来时间洞察力与当下和未来的心理健康相关,压力知觉在两者间起中介作用。
