Abstract

Abstract

Using MMHI-60, SSSCLB and ALSEC, this article presents a survey of 2, 219 rural children left behind.The results suggest that:(a) in general, the mental health of children left behind is worrying, with significant variation among different levels of sense of security; (b) life events are in positive correlation to mental health, andsense of security is significantly negative to mental health; (c) sense of security plays a significant regulatory role in life events and mental health; (d) life events can directly predict mental health, with sense of security playing partial mediating effect on mental health in life events; (e) the left-behind situation is an important factor affecting the mental health, while sense of security plays a complete intermediary role between the left-behind situation and mental health of children left behind in China.
