A TWO-FACTOR MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH OF COLLEGE STUDENTS

Abstract

The measurement of psychological health of college students provides a good reference for mental health education in colleges. However, most of the existing methods rely on psychopathological indicators, failing to accurately reflect the psychological health of college students. To solve the problem, this paper measures and evaluates the psychological health of college students from two dimensions, namely, positive psychology and negative psychology, constructs a two-factor mathematical model for the measuring the psychological health of college students, and proposes the mindfulness-based cognitive intervention based on the model. Experimental results show that college students generally have a good psychological health, which is affected by various factors; the two-factor mathematical model provides a clear contrast between positive and negative factors of the psychological health of college students; the mindfulness-based cognitive intervention can significantly improve the psychological health of college students. The research results provide new insights into the mental health education of college students.
