Adolescent developmental issues, such as mental health problems, substance abuse, and egocentric behavior, of university students are examined. This conceptual review generally shows that although there are related issues among university students deserving greater attention, there is a general lack of systematic prevention or positive youth development programs adopting the principle of universal prevention. In contrast to the abundance of universal adolescent prevention and positive youth development programs specifically designed for high school students, similar programs are grossly lacking in the university educational context. This paper highlights the factors contributing to such negligence in university education and the possible strategies that can be adopted to help university students develop in a holistic manner.
本文探讨了大学生的青少年发展问题,如心理健康问题、药物滥用和自我中心行为。这一概念性综述总体表明,尽管大学生中存在一些值得更多关注的相关问题,但普遍缺乏采用普遍预防原则的系统性预防或积极的青少年发展项目。与专门为高中生设计的大量普遍青少年预防和积极青少年发展项目形成对比的是,在大学教育背景下,类似的项目严重缺乏。本文强调了导致大学教育中出现这种疏忽的因素,以及可以采用的有助于大学生全面发展的可能策略。
