“…Wang et al (2020) demonstrated that psychomotor symptoms impaired motor skills, restlessness, and inability are central symptoms observed during the period of COVID-19 outbreak, and its concentration decreased after the peak stage. Further, the comparison of network structure can be evaluated through network analysis, its application is widely used in crosscultural studies, for instance, the psychopathy network for U.S prisoners showed similarities between U.S students and Chinese prisoners (Wang et al, 2022).…”

ObjectiveThe prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms for Chinese college students are high. Academic pressure is one of the prominent risk factors of psychological well-beings for Chinese college students. The application of network analysis provides researchers a more comprehensive understanding of symptom-symptom interaction in mental disorders. This study aims to find out whether there is a difference in central symptoms between students with different academic performance.MethodA total sample of 1,291 college students was included in our study. Anxiety and depressive symptoms were measured by PHQ-9 and GAD-7. Central symptoms were identified through centrality indices. Network stability was examined using the case-dropping method.ResultsFor the poor academic group, the most central symptom is PHQ-2 (feeling depressed). The most central symptom of the good academic group is GAD-2 (uncontrolled worry). The least central symptom for both groups is PHQ-9 (suicidal thought). Network structure is statistically different between two groups, global strength is not statistically different between two groups.ConclusionThe pertinent symptom is feeling depressed, followed by uncontrolled worry and poor appetite, and for the good academic group, the pertinent symptom is an uncontrolled worry, theoretical explanation and clinical implications is discussed.
