Abstract

Objective: to examine the boarder's moderating effects of resilience between mental health and loneliness in ethnic areas is to provide valid and scientific theories for improving the boarder's mental health situation. Methods: A total of six hundred and twenty-seven primary school students and junior school students in Song pan county of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture were selected and assessed with the MMHI-Sixty for mental health, the CSL (children loneliness scale) for loneliness state, and the CD-RISC (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, (Connor-Davidson) for resilience. Results: in the sample, the CSL mean score was (three point five eight plus or minus zero point four six), the CD-RISC mean score was (three point two five plus or minus zero point five six), and the MMHI mean score was two point six five plus or minus zero point six three. The CLS scores were negatively correlated with the MMHI scores and the CD-RISC scores (r value equals minus zero point three two seven, P value is less than zero point zero one; r equals minus zero point three eight five, both p value are less than zero point zero one), the CD-RISC scores were positively correlated with the MMHI scores(r value is zero one two one, P value is less than zero point zero one). Hierarchy regression analysis shows that the CLS scores had a positive significant effect on MMHI scores (beta value is zero point two eight seven, t value is six point one seven eight, P value is less than zero point zero one), the CD-RISC scores had a negative significant effect on MMHI scores (beta value is minus zero point zero five eight, t value is minus two point one double five, P value is less than zero point zero five). And CD-RISC scores mediated the relationship between CLS scores and MMHI scores partially (The moderating effects was zero point zero two four). Conclusion: the result suggests that the boarders have some mental health and loneliness problems, and the resilience play a moderating role in loneliness and mental health.
