- Abstract
- Objective: To explore the relationship between the mental stress, coping style, and the heavy-taste culture, and to give advice on the creation of mental health services and campus culture assistance. Methods: 900 college students completed the adolescent self-rating life event checklist, simple coping style scale, and undergraduate heavy-taste culture scale. Results: 1) Heavy-taste culture was popular among college students, and there were significant differences between genders, only-child or not, education major, and grade. 2) The score of the heavy-taste culture scale showed a positive correlation between the total score and each dimension’s score of the ASLEC (p < 0.01). 3) The score of the heavy-taste culture scale had a positive correlation with the score of positive and negative coping styles. 4) Negative coping style and negative life events accurately predicted the prevalence of participation in the heavy-taste culture (R2 = 0.12, p < 0.001). Conclusion: The results indicated that the reason college students appreciated heavy-taste culture was their negative coping style and the presence of mental stress from negative life events. Colleges and universities would benefit greatly from urging students to enjoy the heavy-taste culture in more constructive ways.
