Research on the Connection between Mental Health and Social Life

Abstract

In the digital age, the psychological problems brought about by the Internet have had a profound impact on young adults. Given that adolescence is a critical period for psychological development and the incidence rate of mental illness is relatively high, this paper uses a linear regression model to focus on exploring the complex relationship between the mental health status of young people aged from 18 to 24 and their social life. By utilizing data from the Kaggle website, which includes 139 respondents and 18 variables such as age, gender, educational background, and social life conditions, the research results show that life satisfaction has a significant negative impact on depression scores, employment status is significantly negatively correlated with stress levels, and age is significantly positively correlated with depression scores. These findings reveal the complex interaction between specific social life factors and the mental health of young people, highlighting the key role that specific social life factors play in shaping the mental health of young people. Additionally, this can provide some reference for formulating intervention measures to enhance the mental health of young adults.
