A single-session positive cognitive intervention on first-year students' mental health: Short-term effectiveness and the mediating role of strengths knowledge.
Journal of American College Health : J of ACH 2018 September 20
OBJECTIVE: To better understand the effectiveness of a single-session positive cognitive intervention and uncover the possible mechanisms.
PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 79 first-year students (aged 17-21) who volunteered for the intervention during the 2016 fall semester.
METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned into the intervention group and the control group. All participants completed pretest, post-test, 1 week, and 3-month follow-up tests. Thriving, negative emotional states, strengths knowledge were assessed.
RESULTS: Results showed significant increases of thriving in the intervention group at post-test and after 1 week, and significant decreases of negative emotions at the post-test and after 1 week and 3 months. Strengths knowledge fully mediated the intervention effect on thriving at post-test.
CONCLUSIONS: The single-session positive cognitive intervention could be a responsive and effective approach to promote first-year students mental health. More attention should be paid to mechanisms of the single-session positive cognitive intervention so as to optimize the effects of the single-session positive cognitive intervention.
