六成大學(xué)生自稱(chēng)極焦慮 他們最擔(dān)心什么?
美國(guó)高等教育平臺(tái)Chegg一份名為“學(xué)生狀態(tài)”的報(bào)告稱(chēng),,60%的大學(xué)生自稱(chēng)“經(jīng)?!被蛘摺耙恢薄苯箲]。原因包括財(cái)務(wù)壓力,、前途,,也包括槍支暴力和性騷擾等。 Chegg的上述報(bào)告調(diào)查了1000名來(lái)自不同地區(qū)和學(xué)府的學(xué)生,,其中66%的學(xué)生感覺(jué)住宿費(fèi)用有壓力,,68%的學(xué)生經(jīng)常擔(dān)心畢業(yè)后的出路,66%的學(xué)生擔(dān)心校園內(nèi)會(huì)發(fā)生槍支暴力事件,,僅有42%的受訪(fǎng)學(xué)生相信校方會(huì)妥善解決性騷擾事件,。盡管承擔(dān)著種種壓力,仍有73%的受訪(fǎng)者對(duì)畢業(yè)后找到工作自食其力感到樂(lè)觀(guān),。 Chegg的總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官丹·羅森茨維格在聲明中表示:“大學(xué)生面臨很多和成年人同樣的壓力,。他們會(huì)擔(dān)心工作和經(jīng)濟(jì),,而且還多了適應(yīng)社會(huì)的緊迫感。這可能不是什么新問(wèn)題,,但現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟(jì),、政治、社會(huì)和科技至上的形勢(shì)錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜,,學(xué)生們感到的壓力和肩負(fù)的擔(dān)子越發(fā)沉重,。” Chegg的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),,73%的大學(xué)生在求學(xué)期間兼職工作,,34%的學(xué)生發(fā)覺(jué)食物費(fèi)用難以負(fù)擔(dān),甚至無(wú)力負(fù)擔(dān),。至于派對(duì)更是奢望:將近三分之二的學(xué)生稱(chēng),,經(jīng)常徹夜攻讀,僅有四分之一的學(xué)生稱(chēng)晚上去過(guò)派對(duì),。 適應(yīng)社會(huì),、財(cái)務(wù)狀況和學(xué)業(yè)都令學(xué)生感到憂(yōu)慮。上述調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),,43%的學(xué)生自稱(chēng)在校內(nèi)“非常孤獨(dú)”,;LGBTQ學(xué)生當(dāng)中,多達(dá)61%深感孤獨(dú),??傮w來(lái)看,一半以上的受訪(fǎng)學(xué)生都表示,,大學(xué)期間“非常難過(guò)或者心情低落”,。 不同黨派的學(xué)生感受到的政治壓力相差懸殊。73%的共和黨學(xué)生相信美國(guó)朝正確的方向前進(jìn),,僅有24%的民主黨學(xué)生同意,。 一半受訪(fǎng)拉美裔學(xué)生都擔(dān)心,不知哪天身邊認(rèn)識(shí)的人就會(huì)被驅(qū)逐出境,。 種種壓力可能引發(fā)心理健康問(wèn)題,,或者導(dǎo)致原有的問(wèn)題惡化,影響學(xué)生專(zhuān)心求學(xué),。專(zhuān)業(yè)組織美國(guó)心理學(xué)會(huì)稱(chēng),,因“嚴(yán)重心理健康問(wèn)題”向校內(nèi)咨詢(xún)中心求助的大學(xué)生逐漸增多。 但Chegg的調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn),,63%的受訪(fǎng)大學(xué)生稱(chēng),,從未利用過(guò)校內(nèi)的心理健康輔導(dǎo)資源,有些甚至不知道此類(lèi)資源存在。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:Pessy 審校:夏林 ? |
According to a “State of the Student” report by Chegg, 60% of college students say they are anxious “frequently” or “all the time.” The sources of worry range from finances and futures to gun violence and sexual assault. In a survey of 1,000 students across a range of demographics and colleges, 66% say they cannot comfortably afford housing at their college, 68% frequently worry over their futures, 66% worry there will be an incident of gun violence on campus, and only 42% are confident that their school’s administration adequately addresses cases of sexual assault. Despite these stresses, 73% reported feeling optimistic they’ll find a job that can support them after college. “College students are facing many of the same pressures that adults face. They’re stressed by work and finance, plus they deal with the additional urgency of fitting in socially,” said Dan Rosensweig, president and CEO of Chegg, in a statement. “That may not seem particularly new, but today’s complex economic, political, social and tech-dominated landscape has accentuated the tension and burden students feel.” Chegg’s study found 73% of students work while in school, while 34% find it challenging or impossible to afford food. Forget partying: nearly two-thirds of students say they’ve pulled an all-nighter studying, while only one-fourth said they’ve spent that time partying. Social adjustment causes worry, alongside finances and academics. The survey found 43% of students reported feeling “very lonely” at college; for LGBTQ students, this number was even higher at 61%. More than half of all students reported feeling “very sad or depressed” at college. Political stress is immensely divided along party lines: 73% of Republican students believe the country is going in the right direction, while only 24% of Democratic students feel this is true. Exactly half of Hispanic students are worried someone they know personally will be deported. All of these stresses can pile on top of developing or preexisting mental health issues, affecting students’ ability to focus on their school work. According to the American Psychological Association, a rising number of students are seeking help at their university counseling centers for “serious mental health problems.” Chegg’s survey, however, found that 63% of students say they have never used their college’s mental-health resources, or were unaware of their existence. |
