Relationship between ostracism and psychological crisis vulnerability among Chinese college students: the mediating roles of self-uncertainty and subjective social status

By integrating interpersonal, cognitive, and social-status perspectives into a single multiple mediation framework, this study extends existing research on ostracism and mental health. The findings highlight self-uncertainty and subjective social status as key psychological mechanisms linking ostracism to psychological crisis vulnerability and suggest potential targets for prevention and intervention efforts aimed at reducing psychological crises among college students.
