Title: Emotionfocused coping and mental health of junior high school students:a crosslagged regression analysis
Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between emotionfocused coping styles and mental health of junior high school students. Methods A total of 95 junior high school students were measured repeatedly with an interval of 5 months with the Coping Style Scale of Middle School Students and Mental Health Inventory of Middle School Students,and the data were analyzed with the crosslagged regression analysis method. Results The four emotionfocused coping styles were all positively correlated with the total average score of mental health in both measurements.The scores of emotionfocused coping styles of subjects in the high mental disorder group were significantly higher than those in the low mental disorder group.The crosslagged analysis indicated that the mental health condition could reasonably predict emotionfocused coping styles whereas emotionfocused coping styles could not predict mental health.Conclusions Sometimes mental health may be the cause of coping styles which are influenced by many factors.
