Objective To explore the mental quality developmental characteristics of cadets majored in military science and technology.Methods Mental Quality Questionnaire for army men (MQQA) and Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90) were employed to evaluate 1771 cadets majored in science and technology,comparing mental quality differences related to gender,age,length of military service,grade and education level,etc.Results ① MQQA scores of cadets for aptitude (68.67±9.45),loyalty(75.98±8.97),bravery (68.46±9.12),self-confidence (65.72±6.61),willpower(67.7±8.33) and total score(345.90±37.79) were significantly higher than those of the army norm and the young army norm(P<0.01).②There was significant age difference (P<0.01) in MQQA scores.And the total score gradually increased with age.③There was significant length of military service difference (P< 0.01),and the total score decreased at the beginning 3 years and then increased later.④There was significant grade difference (P<0.01) in MQQA scores.The scores of Grade One were significantly lower than those of Grade Two and Grade Four,but higher than those of Grade Three(P<0.01) ; the scores of Grade Three were significantly lower than those of Grade Two and Grade Four(P<0.01).⑤ There was significant education level difference (P< 0.01),and the scores of junior college students were significantly higher than those of undergraduates,graduate students and training students (P<0.01) ; loyalty score of undergraduates was significantly higher than that of graduate students (P<0.05) ; willpower score of graduate students was significantly lower than that of undergraduates and post-work training students (P<0.05).Conclusion Cadets majored in science and technology have good mental quality,which is significantly influenced by age,length of military service,grade and level of education.
