To explore the predictive factors of student mental health within the college environment.
Students enrolled at 7 unique universities during years 2008 (n=1,161) and 2009 (n=1,459).
Participants completed survey measures of mental health, consequences of alcohol use, and engagement in the college environment.
In addition to replicating previous findings related to Keyes' Mental Health Continuum, multiple regression analysis revealed several predictors of college student mental health, including supportive college environments, students' sense of belonging, professional confidence, and civic engagement. However, multiple measures of engaged learning were not found to predict mental health.
Results suggest that supportive college environments foster student flourishing. Implications for promoting mental health across campus are discussed. Future research should build on exploratory findings and test confirmatory models to better understand relationships between the college environment and student flourishing.
探讨大学环境中影响学生心理健康的预测因素。
2008年（n = 1161）和2009年（n = 1459）在7所不同大学就读的学生。
参与者完成了心理健康、饮酒后果以及在大学环境中的参与度的调查测量。
除了重复先前与凯斯心理健康连续体相关的研究结果外，多元回归分析还揭示了几个大学生心理健康的预测因素，包括支持性的大学环境、学生的归属感、专业信心和公民参与度。然而，未发现多种参与式学习测量方法能预测心理健康。
结果表明支持性的大学环境促进学生茁壮成长。讨论了在校园内促进心理健康的意义。未来的研究应基于探索性研究结果并测试验证性模型，以更好地理解大学环境与学生茁壮成长之间的关系。
