Study on the Influencing Factors of Adolescent Mental Health

Adolescent mental health is a popular topic of general concern to the global public, and there are many researchers already finding out various factors that lead to psychological problems represented by depression. However, usually one study only focuses on the analysis of one factor, causing it being lack in a comprehensive consideration of the personal life experience of adolescents. Therefore, this paper collects the questionnaire dataset on Kaggle website and conducts correlation and stepwise regression analysis to explore the factors leading to adolescent depression through the score evaluation on the questionnaire. The results show that typical factors such as teacher-student relationship, academic performance, and safety have a negative impact on adolescent depression, while factors like study load, extracurricular activities, noise level have a positive impact on adolescent depression. Based on this conclusion, this paper suggests that schools should pay more attention to adolescent mental health to ensure that they thrive.
