Based on the panel data of 20,594 fourth- and fifth-grade students in the western provinces A and B in China, this paper analyzed the effect of boarding at school on the mental health of students using a combination of the propensity score matching (PSM) and difference-in-differences (DID) methods. The results showed that boarding had no significant effect on the mental health of students, but the tendency of loneliness among boarding school students was increased. Heterogeneity analysis found that fifth-grade students whose parents had both left home to work were more likely to have poorer mental health when boarding. This paper has essential policy significance for guiding rural primary schools to improve the mental health of boarding school students, especially left-behind children.
基于中国西部省份 A 和 B 的 20594 名四、五年级学生的面板数据，本文采用倾向得分匹配（PSM）和双重差分（DID）相结合的方法，分析了住校对学生心理健康的影响。结果表明，住校对学生的心理健康没有显著影响，但增加了寄宿学生的孤独感倾向。异质性分析发现，父母均外出打工的五年级寄宿生心理健康状况更差。本文对于指导农村小学提高寄宿生，尤其是留守儿童的心理健康水平具有重要的政策意义。
