“…dimension received lower scores than other dimensions. In terms of the magnitude of change, the overall trend of changes in the mental health levels of physical education college students was consistent with the changing trends of mental health levels among general college students (Xin et al, 2012), poor college students (Zhang et al, 2018) and medical college students (Xin et al, 2019) in China.…”

“…With this method, it is possible to analyze the changes in psychological variables related to a large time span from a macroscopic perspective; that is, this method can reveal the changing trends of psychological variables over time. In China, since Xin and Chi (2008) introduced this method, there have been a large number of studies on college students' mental health (e.g., Xin et al, 2012Xin et al, , 2019Zhang et al, 2018). These studies revealed that the mental health levels of different types of college students show an obvious upward trend over time.…”

To explore the changes in the mental health levels of Chinese physical education college students, the present study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of 43 papers that adopted the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) from 1995 to 2019. The results showed that the average scores of the seven SCL-90 factors were negatively correlated with the year of data collection. The socioeconomic indicators (GDP, per capita GDP and household consumption level) were significantly negatively correlated with the eight dimension scores of the SCL-90 (except for phobic anxiety). The mean effect sizes of the sex differences in the seven dimension scores (except depression and phobic anxiety) were lower than the small effect size. In conclusion, Chinese physical education college students’ mental health levels have increased in the past 25 years. This phenomenon may be related to Chinese socioeconomic growth, the implementation of national sports policies, and the provision of mental health education for college students. In addition, although the increasing trend in the mental health level of female students was more obvious, there were no significant sex differences.

“…Accordingly, countries around the world have reinstated retired doctors as well as clinical academics to clinical practice, and have given permission to final-year medical students to start working prior to their graduation ( 29 ). It is well-acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic exerted severe security challenges to the medical and healthcare professions, which increased their mental stress ( 25 ). As for the senior medical students, although not directly being at the frontlines of the pandemic, the medical students are still facing the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 due to their rotation in the hospital which is accompanied by close contact with various kinds of patients.…”

“…Loneliness is a painful emotional experience of a discrepancy between actual and desired social contact (20)(21)(22)(23). During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical professions are encountering more challenges than ever (24,25), and are over-identified accompanied by sensitivity to criticism, which may lead to increased loneliness feelings (26). Ample studies have demonstrated that loneliness may negatively impact individuals' future career orientation [e.g., (27,28)].…”

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic continues to unfold globally, and its negative impact on the public's mental health is starting to reveal. Serving as reserve talents for the healthcare system, medical students are not yet professionally matured enough to face one of the worst global public health crises. This may exert increased mental stress and loneliness feelings, which in turn negatively influence medical students' future career choice. To address the issue, we conducted three online survey studies investigating how the epidemic affects the mental health as well as career attitude of medical students in China during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The results revealed preliminary evidence showing that the perceived stress induced by the COVID-19 epidemic might negatively affect medical students' future career choice, and the feeling of loneliness may play a mediating role. This study invites more attention to medical students' mental health during severe public health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The sample consisted of 529 students. The tools used to measure the relationship between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurial self-efficacy were the Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Wong and Law and the Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Zhan. The results showed that there was a significant difference between male and female college students in entrepreneurial self-efficacy, but no significant difference between male and female college students in emotional intelligence. In entrepreneurial self-efficacy as well as emotional intelligence, there were significant differences between the third grade and the first and second grade, respectively. In addition, the results showed a significant positive correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and emotional intelligence. With the improvement of the emotional intelligence level of vocational college students, the entrepreneurial self-efficacy will increase. The lower the emotional intelligence, the faster the improvement in entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The higher the emotional intelligence, the more stable the entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The university stage is considered an ideal entrepreneurial period, especially for vocational colleges’ students, who pay more attention to entrepreneurship and innovation education. Encouraging the cultivation of the emotional intelligence of vocational college students in life will help to improve personal entrepreneurial self-efficacy. This research emphasizes that improving the emotional intelligence of vocational college students can enhance their sense of self-efficacy in entrepreneurship and help students with entrepreneurship and career development.
