| Title: | Mental health profile and health-related behavior among Hong Kong Chinese university students | Authors: | Ma, CMS Lai, CCW |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | Health psychology open, 11 July 2018, v. 5, no. 2, p. 1-8 | Abstract: | To better understand factors that are associated with individuals' engagement in physical activity and other health-related behaviors, this study aimed to identify the psychological well-being profiles among Chinese university students, and explore whether engagement in physical activity and other health-related behaviors vary with different psychological well-being profiles. A battery of self-report questionnaires was completed by 2022 Chinese university students for assessing psychological well-being and health-related behaviors. Four psychological well-being profiles were identified. The vast students were mentally healthy. The students with better mental health displayed lower likelihood of engagement in unhealthy behaviors. Findings and implication of the study were discussed. | Keywords: | Health behavior Latent profile analysis Lifestyle Physical activity Well-being |
