Measurements

Anxiety, depression, Internet addiction, emotional intelligence, health-promoting lifestyles, and learning adaptability were measured using the Chinese version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Internet Addiction Test, Emotional Intelligence Scale, Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, and Learning Adaptability of Undergraduate Students, respectively.
