Many researchers agree that virtue is an important psychological concept in contemporary psychology. The main purpose in this study was to investigate the relationship between virtues and the personality traits of college students in mainland China. Participants (N = 426) completed the Chinese Virtue Adjectives Rating Scale (CVARS; Mu, 2007) and the Chinese 16PF (Zhu & Dai, 1988). The results indicated that the 16 personality factors most closely related to the virtue factors were emotional stability, dominance, liveliness, rule-consciousness, social boldness, sensitivity, vigilance, abstractedness, apprehension, self-reliance, perfectionism, and tension. Second-order factors of the 16PF most strongly related to the virtue factors were anxiety, extraversion, tough-mindedness, and independence.

The past decades have witnessed the greatest economy growth and social transforms in China, which have brought about radical changes in nearly every way of people’s lives. From the psychological perspective, these changes might have also altered the inner state of individuals, such as shaping their personality generation by generation, or influencing their subjective well-being inconspicuously. In this study we investigated the birth cohort change on big five personality traits among Chinese college students during 2001-2016, and found positive trend of four out of five traits with year, moderated by GDP growth rate of each province. Study 2 focused on a similar meta-analysis on subjective well-being, and found positive changing trend of satisfaction with life and positive affect, which was moderated by subjective socioeconomic status change. Negative affect did not change obviously during the period. Finally, time-lagged correlations showed that personality traits served as antecedent predictors of well-being, instead of the other way around.

The main objective of the present investigation was to analyze the relationship between self-reported schizotypal and borderline personality traits in a sample of 759 college students (M = 19.63 years; SD = 2.03). For this purpose, the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQB; Raine and Benishay, 1995) and Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ; Poreh et al., 2006) were administered. The results showed that schizotypal and borderline features are partially related at subclinical level. The exploratory factor analysis conducted on the subscales revealed a three-factor solution comprised of the following factors: Identity/Interpersonal, Lack of Control and Schizotypal. The canonical correlation analysis showed that schizotypal features and borderline personality traits shared 34.8 % of the variance. The data highlight the overlap between schizotypal and borderline personality traits in nonclinical young adults. Future studies should continue to examine the relationship and the degree of overlap between these traits in community samples.

Abstract Background With the continuous development of the society, the pace of life is accelerating, psychological health has become an important factor affecting people's quality of life. Domestic studies have shown that mental diseases have become an important cause of College Students' sick leave, withdrawal, addiction, crime and suicide. Personality traits and social support factors have been considered to be related to psychological health. Methods In this study, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) of some freshmen in 2020 were randomly selected from the psychological census database of a university in China as the research data. The decision tree algorithm was used to establish a predictive model for psychological health related personality straits and social support factors of college students. In association analysis, we got the most closely effect factors with psychological health or psychological abnormality by analyzing important association rules. According to the distance, all effect factors were classified into different clusters by system clustering, and the relationship between effect factors and mental health was further analyzed. Results Combining the results of the three algorithms, we found that social support and personality traits factors had a certain rule on the effect of college students' psychological health, and social support factors were more important than personality traits factors. Among the social support factors, the most important was family support, followed by friend support and other support. The higher the level of support of the three, the greater the possibility of psychological health. In the personality traits factors, the most important was N, followed by E, and P. The three grades were high or low, may lead to abnormal psychology, and the medium grade was an important condition to maintain psychological health. Conclusion The results provided important references for the analysis of the effect factors on psychological health and important theoretical basis for the formulation of psychological intervention measures for college students.

In this study, we tested a modified academic satisfaction model based on social cognitive career theory in a sample of 757 college students in China. The hypothesized model included personality traits (extraversion and emotional stability), self-construals (independence and interdependence), environmental and person-cognitive variables (supports, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, and perceived goal progress) in the academic domain, and academic and global well-being outcomes. Pathways that consisted of academic supports, self-efficacy, and goal progress partially mediated the effects of personality traits and self-construals on academic satisfaction and/or stress, which were, in turn, predictive of life satisfaction. Although Chinese students perceived outcomes of completing a college degree as favorable, such outcome expectations did not predict progress made in the academic domain. Multigroup analyses showed that the modified academic satisfaction model was applicable to both male and female college students in two major metropolitan areas—Chongqing in Southwest China and Shanghai in East China. With evidence for measurement equivalence, full structural equivalence was present by gender, whereas two of the hypothesized paths differed by location. Results of the study suggest that outreach or intervention programs, which involve gathering supports, boosting self-efficacy, and facilitating goal progress in the academic domain, are particularly beneficial for promoting the well-being of Chinese college students.

Objective – More and more international students choose to study in international programs in Thai universities. While considering the development of international programs, some schools tend to ignore the psychological pressure and happiness of foreign students during their time in the program. I noticed that some students have mental problems which are unable to be resolved. Methodology/Technique – This paper will analyze the factors of subjective well-being in International Chinese college students, including the relationship between cultural intelligence, personality traits, and subjective well-being (SWB). Findings – This paper concludes that neuroticism has a significant negative impact on International Students' SWB, while openness to experience has a positive impact. Behavioral cultural intelligence has a positive effect on SWB, whilst motivational cultural intelligence has no significant effect. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Religion; Cultural Intelligence; Subjective Well-being (SWB); International Chinese College Students; Personality Traits Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Wen, C.
