Abstract:
Objective: This study examined the relationships among Chinese national community consciousness, mental health, and ego identity in college students, and explored the mediating role of ego identity in the relationship between Chinese national community consciousness and mental health. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to survey 612 college students with the Chinese National Community Consciousness Scale, the College Students’ Mental Health Scale, and the Ego Identity Scale. Mediation effect models were employed to analyze the relationships among Chinese national community consciousness, mental health, and ego identity. Results: (1) Chinese national community consciousness was positively correlated with mental health (r= 0.12, p< 0.01) and ego identity (r= 0.57, p< 0.01); ego identity was also positively correlated with mental health (r = 0.19, p< 0.01) . (2) Ego identity played a mediating role in the association between Chinese national community consciousness and mental health [0.43, 95% CI (0.16, 0.78)]. Conclusion: Chinese national community consciousness indirectly promotes mental health by enhancing ego identity. It is suggested that university educators optimize interventions for college students’ mental health by strengthening both Chinese national community consciousness and ego identity development.
目的:研究中华民族共同体意识、大学生心理健康与自我同一性之间的关系,以及自我同一性在中华民族共同体意识和大学生心理健康关系中的中介作用。方法:采用中华民族共同体意识量表、大学生心理健康量表和自我同一性量表,通过方便取样方法,对612名在校大学生进行调查。运用中介效应模型分析中华民族共同体意识、大学生心理健康与自我同一性之间的关系。结果:(1)中华民族共同体意识与大学生心理健康呈正相关(r=0.12,p<0.01),与自我同一性呈正相关(r=0.57,p<0.01);自我同一性与大学生心理健康呈正相关(r=0.19,p<0.01)。(2)自我同一性在中华民族共同体意识与大学生心理健康间存在中介效应[0.43,95%CI(0.16,0.78)]。结论:中华民族共同体意识通过提升自我同一性间接促进心理健康水平。建议高校教育工作者通过强化中华民族共同体意识与自我同一性培养,优化大学生心理健康干预策略。
