| College students' problems of mental health are becoming thefocus of much attention and these researches have uncovered many moreproblems. These researches have made great achievements in understanding,methods and instruments; the concepts, standards, level and educationalsystem of mental health. But some researches are deficient, such as theresearch from the point of development; the correlation between collegestudents' mental health and interpersonal trust, the tendency ofcreativity, shyness and loneliness, social intercourse, the characterof will, self-control, study achievement and so on.In order to identify the conditions of freshmen's mental health,we have meta-analyzed the reports concerning SCL-90 of freshmen duringthe past 10 years, and analyzed the conditions and development tendencyof freshmen's mental health on a local college during the past 3 years,then we have discussed the correlation between college freshmen' smental health and interpersonal trust, social loneliness, emotionalloneliness, social avoidance, social distress, shyness, studyachievement, the tendency of creativity. And based on these studies, wehave put forward some measures for the education of freshmen's mentalhealth.The following are the results of my research.1. Compared with the norm of college students', the average effectof 9 factors was -0.32 and the average effect sizes of each factor ranged from -0.21 to -0.50, which indicated that the exiting reports did notshow the college freshmen had serious psychological problems.2. The sampling- quantity effect and economic level effect weresignificant, whose R~2 were 0.302. It mean that the reports of freshmen'sSCL-90 should show the sampling- quantity effect and economic leveleffect; The meta-analysis indicated that freshmen's score of localcollege is obviously higher than big cities in somatization,obsessive-compulsive, depression, anxiety.3. Freshmen's mental health was on a decline trend eachyear, andthe freshmen's mental health was in decline with time prolonged, Thefemale freshmen had lower level of mental health than the male, andfurthermore the difference of mental health between the male and femalewas becoming much greater.4. Mental health had significantly negative correlation withinterpersonal trust, significantly positive correlation with socialloneliness and no correlation with emotional loneliness. Freshmen' sinterpersonal trust and social loneliness had significantly predictiveeffect on mental health, and interpersonal trust had significantlypredictive effect on social loneliness.5. Freshmen's mental health had significantly positive correlationwith shyness, social avoidance and social distress, and shyness hadsignificantly positive correlation with social avoidance and socialdistress. Freshmen's shyness had significantly predictive effect on mental health; social avoidance and social distress had no predictiveeffect on mental health, while significantly on shyness.6. Freshmen's mental health had no significant correlation withfinal academic achievement, but significant predictive effect oncomprehensive appraisal. Freshmen's maladjustment had significantpositive correlation with mental health, and significant negativecorrelationwith creativity tendency. And maladjustment had significantpredictive effect on creativity tendency and mental health.Therefore, it is very important to pay more attention to mentalhealth education. Based on existing work, we must fully knowpsychological characteristic of local university and set up harmoniousdevelopment view; We can use "goal-oriented incentive mechanism" tohelp freshmen to find their occupational development direction, and thenbuiid up their developing goals. Furthermore we should strengthen theeducation of view of human nature and values, and also provide thetraining for adaptation of the college life, Stimulates students'self-education consciousness, Carry on emotional education to thestudents and treat the student with method of emotional concern, and alsopay more attention to female students.
