The purpose of this investigation was to model the relationships between developmental assets, life satisfaction, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among a stratified, random sample (n = 765, 56% response rate) of college students.
Structural equation modeling techniques were employed to test the relationships using Mplus v4.21; Model evaluations were based on 1) theoretical salience, 2) global fit indices (chi-square goodness of fit, comparative fit index: CFI and Tucker-Lewis Index: TLI), 3) microfit indices (parameter estimates, root mean squared error of approximation: RMSEA and residuals) and 4) parsimony.
The model fit the data well: χ2(n = 581, 515) = 1252.23, CFI = .94, TLI = .93 and RMSEA = .05. First, participants who reported increased Family Communication also reported higher levels of life satisfaction. Second, as participants reported having more Non-Parental Role Models, life satisfaction decreased and poor mental HRQOL days increased. Finally increased Future Aspirations was related to increased poor mental HRQOL days. Results were variant across gender.
Preliminary results suggest not all developmental assets are related to positive health outcomes among college students, particularly mental health outcomes. While the findings for Family Communication were expected, the findings for Non-Parental Role Models suggest interactions with potential role models in college settings may be naturally less supportive. Future Aspirations findings suggest college students may harbor a greater temporal urgency for the rigors of an increasingly competitive work world. In both cases, these assets appear associated with increased poor mental HRQOL days.
本研究旨在通过对分层随机样本（n=765，56%的回复率）大学生的发展资产、生活满意度和健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）之间的关系进行建模。
使用 Mplus v4.21 采用结构方程建模技术检验关系；模型评估基于以下几个方面：1）理论意义；2）整体拟合指数（卡方拟合度、比较拟合指数：CFI 和 Tucker-Lewis 指数：TLI）；3）微观拟合指数（参数估计、近似均方根误差：RMSEA 和残差）和 4）简约性。
该模型很好地拟合了数据：χ2（n=581，515）=1252.23，CFI=0.94，TLI=0.93，RMSEA=0.05。首先，报告家庭沟通增加的参与者报告生活满意度更高。其次，随着参与者报告拥有更多的非父母榜样，生活满意度降低，心理健康 HRQOL 天数增加。最后，未来抱负的增加与心理健康 HRQOL 天数的增加有关。结果因性别而异。
初步结果表明，并非所有发展资产都与大学生的积极健康结果相关，尤其是心理健康结果。虽然家庭沟通的结果是预期的，但非父母榜样的结果表明，与潜在榜样在大学环境中的互动可能不太支持。未来抱负的结果表明，大学生可能对日益竞争激烈的工作世界的严格要求有更大的时间紧迫性。在这两种情况下，这些资产似乎都与心理健康 HRQOL 天数的增加有关。
