摘要

关于教育和心理健康的研究主要集中在较高教育水平的好处上。教育的其他方面，如大学选择性，也可能与心理健康有关，而更高的主观社会地位（SSS）是将大学选择性与心理健康联系起来的潜在途径。本研究利用国家青少年与成人健康纵向研究的数据，（a）独立于社会经济地位的客观衡量标准，考察大学选择性是否影响心理健康，（b）评估SSS在这种关系中的作用。在大学毕业生中，上选择性更强的大学与更高的SSS评分有关，而SSS评分又与更少的抑郁症状和更低的压力和焦虑感有关。这些发现有助于我们理解大学选择性和SSS在年轻人心理健康中的作用。

College Selectivity, Subjective Social Status, and Mental Health in Young Adulthood

Research on education and mental health has focused primarily on the benefits of higher levels of educational attainment. Other aspects of education, such as college selectivity, may also be associated with mental health, and higher subjective social status (SSS) is a potential pathway through which college selectivity and mental health could be linked. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this study (a) examines whether college selectivity influences mental health independent of objective measures of socioeconomic status and (b) assesses the role of SSS in this relationship. Among college graduates, attending a more selective college is associated with higher ratings of SSS, which in turn are associated with fewer depressive symptoms and lower perceived stress and anxiety. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of college selectivity and SSS in the mental health of young adults.
