Flourishing: Exploring Predictors of Mental Health Within the College Environment

Abstract

Objective: To explore the predictive factors of student mental health within the college environment. Participants: Students enrolled at 7 unique universities during years 2008 (n = 1,161) and 2009 (n = 1,459). Methods: Participants completed survey measures of mental health, consequences of alcohol use, and engagement in the college environment. Results: In addition to replicating previous findings related to Keyes’ Mental Health Continuum, multiple regression analysis revealed several predictors of college student mental health, including supportive college environments, students’ sense of belonging, professional confidence, and civic engagement. However, multiple measures of engaged learning were not found to predict mental health. Conclusions: Results suggest that supportive college environments foster student flourishing. Implications for promoting mental health across campus are discussed. Future research should build on exploratory findings and test confirmatory models to better understand relationships between the college environment and student flourishing.     

王孟诗派的创作与老庄思想

王孟诗派的部分创作,形象地表现了老庄的基本思想观点。它们和老庄思想一样,充满矛盾,既表现出一种离经叛道的精神、鄙弃功名的出世观念、追求理想社会生活和个性解放的美好愿望,又流露出无可奈何的情绪和追求清静无为、无欲无得的主张。     

李白与齐文化

李白对齐文化始终怀有极大的热情。齐文化在李白诗歌中集中表现为三大主题:纵横捭阖的帝师王臣,倜傥任侠的布衣游士,以及燕齐海滨的神仙道术。李白的文化取向是盛唐士风和时代精神的映射。     

诗歌盛唐气象论

盛唐诗歌以其健康向上的风采、雄浑宽远的境界、恢宏豪放的气质,被后世推崇为“盛唐气象”。雄浑豪放的盛唐气象, 鸣奏着盛唐诗歌的主旋律,应该说它是历史上空前强大的唐帝国文治武功极盛与古典诗歌高度繁荣成熟所结出的硕果。盛唐气象是不可逾越的,因为它毕竟是一个时代的产物和反映。盛唐气象,是盛唐时代的精神外现和性格形象,是盛唐诗歌普遍的基调。     

20世纪的元代文学研究

从学术史角度简要评述了２０世纪元代文学研究的发展概况和基本成就。元代文学是中国文学发展史的一个重要组成部分,但明清以来数百年间人们对它的评价一直偏低,学术研究也相对薄弱。进入２０世纪,这种局面终于有了明显的改变：“西学东渐”给传统的中国古代文学研究带来了新的思想观念和治学方法,元代文学尤其是属于通俗文学的元曲开始受到学术界的普遍重视,研究活动也相应地活跃起来;５０～６０年代中期虽有接连不断的政治运动的干扰,元代文学研究仍取得了比较明显的成绩;７０ 年代末以来,元代文学研究逐步向多元化发展,学术思想的创新,学术视野的开阔,研究领域的拓展,理论水平的提高,都为下个世纪该学科的健康发展打下了良好的基础     

“风清骨峻”的审美理想及其全面实现

刘勰的"风清骨峻"理论无论在<文心雕龙>体系中,还是在中国文论史、美学史上,均占有重要的地位."风清骨峻"的审美理想不仅涵盖了阳刚之美,也包容着阴柔之美,是阳刚和阴柔有机融会共同形成的美学境界.这种美学理想的文学实现不是在素有"建安风骨"之称的建安时期,而是在盛唐时期才得以全面实现.     

近代山东宗法性传统宗教活动的延续与盛行

宗法性传统宗教包括自然崇拜、人物崇拜以及祭祀、占卜、巫术等,它与等级社会制度相始终。近代山东正处于一个君主专制政体逐渐解体的过程中,这种宗法性传统宗教活动也呈现出逐渐衰微的态势。     

穿越大唐的缕缕芳魂——唐诗中的女性形象述略

按照初唐、盛唐、中唐、晚唐的时间顺序,简要论述唐诗中各类女性的形象及其变迁,指出:初唐女性题材诗歌以描写宫廷女性的上官体、历史美女题材为主;盛唐时期,除宫廷女性题材、历史美女题材继续大行其道以外,思妇、怨妇、弃妇、征妇、勇妇题材盛行起来;中唐时期,由于战争频仍,有关思妇、怨妇、弃妇、征妇的诗歌题材更多更广,贞妇烈女及妓女题材也有所表现;晚唐诗人不仅关注女性的外貌之美,更关注女性的内心世界。有唐一代,除男性诗人关注女性,写下了有关女性题材的大量优秀诗作以外,不少才华横溢的女性诗人从关注自身的角度出发,也留下了脍炙人口的不朽诗篇。

Synergists and Qualities Salient to Low-Income Parents' Positive Assessment of Marital Health

Researchers sought low-income couples who considered their marriages to be “good or very good” to inform the process of how individuals and their partners establish and maintain a healthy marriage under significant financial limitations. Twenty married parents participated in semistructured interviews that sought their insights into backgrounds and antecedents that impacted their own and their partners' development and current positive marital assessment. Analysis using grounded theory methods generated a model that posits synergists enhancing the development of qualities that contributed to spouses' positive assessments. The four synergists were sensitizing experiences, a partner-as-rescuer mind-set, acute parental influences, and religious influences. The four requisite high-priority qualities associated with these synergists were love, commitment, appreciation, and child-centeredness.
