The convenience sampling method was used to select 500 students studying at University as survey participants. By designing a questionnaire, college students' mental health, self-identity, satisfaction and the status quo of home-school collaborative education were investigated. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationships among these factors. Furthermore, the PROCESS model was used to study the mediating effect, which was tested using the Bootstrap sampling method.
Results:
Cronbach's coefficient α was above 0.7 for each index in the questionnaire, indicating good reliability. After excluding invalid questionnaires, 463 valid ones remained, with a validity rate of 97.1%. College students' mental health and self-identity were found to be positively correlated with home-school collaboration in terms of total scores and scores for each dimension. The highest degree of correlation was observed for identity moratorium and identity foreclosure, with a correlation coefficient of 0.479. Satisfaction and college students' self-identity contribute to the relationship between home-school collaboration and college students' mental health in the paths 'home-school collaboration → satisfaction → college students' mental health' and 'home-school collaboration → college students' self-identity → college students' mental health,' respectively. Additionally, satisfaction and college students' self-identity for the action path 'home-school collaboration → satisfaction → college students' self-identity → college students' mental health,' reflecting the impact of home-school collaboration on college students' mental health.
Conclusion:
