Network analysis of psychological resilience, personality traits, and depression–anxiety–stress symptoms among military college students in China

This study provides clinically informative, network-based evidence on psychological adaptation in a rarely examined cadet population. The central bridging role of resilience, the protective bridging role of agreeableness, and gender-specific trait-resilience linkages offer actionable, empirically grounded targets for stratified psychological interventions and resilience-promotion programs in high-demand, quasi-military training settings. These findings have important implications for psychological support strategies and mental health promotion in military education environments.
