Abstract: This study investigates the mental health of 291 postgraduates in F University in China through Symptom Checklist-90 (known as SCL-90). The results show that 43.97% of the postgraduates suffer mental health problems of varying degrees, and a larger proportion of them are confronted with mild mental problems. The findings also reveal that the postgraduates score greatly higher than the SCL-90 National Norm of Chinese Adults in the four factors of compulsion, anxiety, terror and mental illness symptoms, while the two factors of interpersonal sensitivity and hostility are significantly lower. Besides, female postgraduates, English-related postgraduates and postgraduates from rural areas, whose mental health are worse, may be under greater pressure. This study would shed light on the relevant basis for further improvement of the postgraduates’ mental health, and the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for colleges and universities.
