This study aimed to examine the gender differences in the prevalence of psychological distress, and in the effects of resilience and perceived social support on psychological distress among Chinese college students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in current study. The psychological distress, resilience, and perceived social support of 1400 university students of China were measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the 12-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, respectively. Multiple group analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling to examine the moderating role of gender in the effects of resilience and perceived social support on psychological distress. The prevalence of psychological distress was 90.86%. Female college students reported a higher prevalence of psychological distress (94.07%) than males (89.11%). Among male college students, the resilience was more strongly associated with psychological distress than perceived social support (-0.18 vs.-0.16). In contrast, among female college students, resilience was not significantly related, but perceived social support was closely related with psychological distress (0.01 vs. -0.31). In conclusion, Chinese female college students are more vulnerable to psychological distress than males. Gender moderates the relationships among resilience, perceived social support, and psychological distress.
本研究旨在探讨心理困扰在中大学生群体中的性别差异，以及韧性和感知社会支持对心理困扰的影响。本研究采用横断面调查方法。使用 Kessler 心理困扰量表、Connor-Davidson 韧性量表的 10 项和多维感知社会支持量表的 12 项分别对 1400 名中国大学生的心理困扰、韧性和感知社会支持进行了测量。采用结构方程模型进行多组分析，以检验韧性和感知社会支持对心理困扰的影响在性别上的调节作用。心理困扰的患病率为 90.86%。女大学生的心理困扰患病率（94.07%）高于男大学生（89.11%）。在男大学生中，韧性与心理困扰的相关性强于感知社会支持（-0.18 对-0.16）。相比之下，在女大学生中，韧性与心理困扰无显著相关性，但感知社会支持与心理困扰密切相关（0.01 对-0.31）。综上所述，中国女大学生比男大学生更容易受到心理困扰。性别调节了韧性、感知社会支持与心理困扰之间的关系。
