The Establishment Of The Norm Of Shanxi College Students' SCL-90

As a special social group, college students' mental health condition has been causing the concern of the whole society. To help the college students with their mental health, we must try to find the mental health condition of the college student as early as possible.SCL-90 is one of the most popular scales which are used to measure the people's mental condition. The norm of it was established in 1986. This research firstly summarized and analyzed the application of SCL-90 in China from 1986 to 2002 and concluded that the old norm is not updated enough to measure the mental health condition of people after about 16 years. Therefore it is quite necessary to establish a new norm. By testing 910 college students in Shanxi province with SCL-90, the research established the grade and sexual norms of Shanxi college students' SCL-90, hoping to be used as a part of the future norm for the normal people in the whole country.
