Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of stress, emotion, and suicidal tendency of students at the Institute of Science and Technology, and to examine the mediating effects of depression and anxiety. 746 students (474 graduate and 272 undergraduate) participated in the survey. Results showed that, first, the levels of stress, anxiety, and suicidal tendency of both groups were all below the normal range with the exception of the level of depression. Second, graduate students reported higher levels of stress and depression than undergraduates. Within undergraduate students, more advanced students expressed higher levels of stress than freshmen. Third, anxiety did not mediate the relationship between stress and suicidal tendency. However, depression served as a partial mediator among undergraduate students, whereas it was a perfect mediator among graduate students. In conclusion, concerted intervention methods to reduce stress and depression are needed, particularly for graduate studentse.
