Abstract
A Study of Risk Factors, Protective Factors, and Resilience among
College Students
By Elizabeth Soyeon Ahn
The effects of various risk and protective factors were studied
using the 2007 Healthy
Minds survey on a sample of 5,689 undergraduate and graduate
students in colleges and
universities. The effects of the risk and protective factors were
further combined to study
resilience. Analysis has confirmed that risk factors, such as
racial discrimination, non-
heterosexuality, academic competitiveness, and financial
difficulties, are positively correlated
with a negative outcome, such as a diagnosis of depression and
anxiety. The study also
confirmed that protective factors, such as religiosity, social
supports from family and friends, and
positive mental health, are negatively correlated with the
diagnosis of mental illness. Finally,
these protective factors also help the college students to be
resilient despite the exposure to high
levels of the risk factors.
