【Objective】 Correlations between student-life related stress and coping behaviors in mental health of high school students were investigated to obtain data for preventive interventions designed to improve students’ mental health.
【Methods】 An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was conducted senior high school students (N＝847). The questionnaire included items on participants’ attributes including sex, age, school year, student-life related stress, anger coping behaviors, and mental health. Among the data, those without missing values were used for statistical analysis (n＝787). The mediation model below was assumed: student-life related stress that is directly and indirectly mediated by coping behaviors affects mental health. Furthermore, correlations between goodness of fit and each variable were examined using Structural Equation Modeling.
【Results】 Results indicated that the assumed causal model was statistically significant (CFI＝0.969, RMSEA＝0.042). Moreover, a statistically significant positive correlation was shown between student-life related stress and mental health, between student-life related stress and coping behaviors. In this model, the ratio of contribution to mental health was 51.0%.
【Conclusions】 The results of this study suggest that cognition of student-life related stress and appropriate anger coping behaviors are effective as preventive interventions aiming to improve high school students’ mental health. In the future, it would be important to develop an educational program for emotional control, improve skills as a peer supporter, and utilize support resources when necessary.
