中国大学生心理健康风险中的压力、脆弱性与保护：一项有根据的理论研究

Many correlates of poor mental health at university are known, but not why students in the same cohort fare so differently. This study aimed to derive a testable account of how mental health risk forms among university students. A grounded theory study combining Strauss–Corbin coding procedures with a constructivist stance was conducted at three universities in China in 2025. Forty participants (19 students, 14 school psychological counsellors and 7 student affairs counsellors) were interviewed in Mandarin (1253 min), and transcripts were coded at open, axial and selective levels in NVivo 12.
