ABSTRACT

Nowadays, the psychological problems of contemporary college students are becoming more and more prominent, and the factors affecting their depression psychology have gradually attracted attention from all walks of life. Family factors are involved in different mental resilience models, which shows that family function plays an important role in the mental resilience model. At the same time, the model also proposes that if family factors enable individuals to meet their psychological needs, they will promote their physical and mental health. Therefore, this report takes Guangzhou University Town as an example to explore the influence path of family functional intimacy and adaptability on college students' depression and the mediating effect of mental toughness by constructing a structural equation model. The results of the study show that psychological resilience has a completely mediating effect between family intimacy and adaptability and depression. Among them, intimacy and adaptability are highly correlated, and the difference between the effects of the two on mental toughness is small. This report hopes that the research can provide feasible suggestions for better exerting family functions to improve college students' mental toughness, promote college students' mental health, and better carry out the psychological guidance and adjustment of college students' depression, and call on all sectors of society to pay attention to college students' mental health problems.
