In China, since the rural labor, leaving their children in the hometown to other caregivers is a trend that has been increasing, and the impact of parental absence on the well-being of left-behind children is increasingly drawing attention in the Chinese society. However, there is a lack of study on the potential impacts of being left behind on later psychosocial outcomes in adolescence and associated protective factors.
This study was conducted on a large sample of Chinese college students to test the moderating effect of resilience between left-behind experience and mental health problems.
The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Symptom Checklist as well as a self-reported questionnaire about left-behind experience designed by the authors were adopted for a survey with 2,968 Chinese college students as respondents.
Totally, 1,063 students (35.8%) had 1 year or more left-behind experience. Compared to those who had no left-behind experience, the students who had left-behind experience were rated lower on resilience score and higher on mental health problem score. Mental health problems had a negative correlation with resilience. Regression analysis showed that resilience moderated left-behind experience and mental health problems.
Individuals with left-behind experience are more vulnerable to mental health problems. Promoting resilience may be helpful for prevention of mental health problems in college students with left-behind experience.
在中国，农村劳动力将子女留在老家交由其他照顾者照顾的趋势日益增加，父母不在身边对留守儿童福祉的影响在中国社会越来越受到关注。然而，对于留守经历对青少年后期心理社会结果的潜在影响以及相关的保护因素，缺乏研究。
本研究在一个较大的中国大学生样本中进行，旨在检验韧性在留守经历与心理健康问题之间的调节作用。
采用 Connor-Davidson 韧性量表和症状检查表以及作者设计的关于留守经历的自我报告问卷，对 2968 名中国大学生进行了调查。
共有 1063 名学生（35.8%）有 1 年或以上的留守经历。与没有留守经历的学生相比，有留守经历的学生在韧性评分上较低，在心理健康问题评分上较高。心理健康问题与韧性呈负相关。回归分析表明，韧性调节了留守经历和心理健康问题之间的关系。
有留守经历的个体更容易出现心理健康问题。促进韧性可能有助于预防有留守经历的大学生的心理健康问题。
