As a result, a formal scale is devised after three testing processes that consist of 134 items. The scale primarily consists of three subscales: adaptation, distress, and resilience. The adaptation subscale covers six points: interpersonal relationships, learning, career choice, emotions, self-adaptation, and satisfaction. The distress subscale includes seven aspects: depression, anxiety, somatization, compulsion, Internet addiction, withdrawal and aggression. The resilience subscale consists of four features: self-confidence, positive cognition, problem-solving, and social support. The results show that all three subscales have good reliability and validity. This scale covers the shortcomings of existing tools and can function as a scientific assessment tool for mental health assessment and scaling in colleges and universities.</p> Jing Liu Jinhong Wu Moqian Tian Shixiang Liu Copyright © 2025 Jing Liu, Jinhong Wu, Moqian Tian, Shixiang Liu https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-10-31 2025-10-31 7 4 1 11 10.30564/jpr.v7i4.11529
