1.Subjective Well-being in College Students
Chinese Mental Health Journal 1992;0(01):-
Objective: To explore the influence of esteem, social support, locus of control and other variables on the subjective well-being (SWB) of college students. Methods: Index of Well-being, SSRS (social support rating scale) and MMCS (multi-dimensional multi-attribution causality scale) were used in 400 college students. Results: Urban and rural students differed in SWB, there was no significant difference in SWB between male and female. SWB was positively correlated with self-esteem and social support. SWB in the group of "external locus of control" was lower than that of"middle locus of control" and of"inner locus of control", while there was no significant difference between the later two groups. Conclusion:This study provides a base for further study on SWB of students.

Objective: To explore how social support in students of normal college related to their interpersonal attribution and philosophies of human nature, and whether social support varied with different subgroups. Method: Social Support Rating Scale, the Multidimentional-Multiattributional Causality Scale and Revised Philosophies of Human Nature Scale were used in 414 students of a normal university. Result: The social support of students differed significantly among different departments, students of science had lower social support than students of art or sport had. There was no significant difference of social support between sexes, different grades, of urban or rural area. Social support was significantly correlated with "effort" attribution of interpersonal relationship, but not with "ability, background or luck". Social support was positively related to trustworthiness, while negatively to cynicism. Conclusion: This result fits for the common sense of Chinese and people elsewhere.

AIM: To investigate the effect of high concentration of chlorine gas(Cl 2) exposure on lung haemodynamic and respiratory function in intact and isolated perfused rabbit lungs (IPLs). METHODS: 8 intact and 10 IPLs were exposed to Cl 2 at high concentration(50?10 -4 )for 20 min, as measured group, 8 additional intact and 9 IPLs, which were similarly treated but not exposed to Cl 2, served as controls. The changes of lung weigh of IPL(△W)?pressure of pulmonary artery(Pa)and venous pressure(Pv)?airway pressure and tidal volume(TV) were continuously measured and recorded simultaneously. RESULTS: In IPL group: While the perfusing blood flow was kept constant (133.3 mL/min), and Pv did not change, following the exposure, the Pa increased slightly, then the lung weight were increased significantly and the TV decreased . Hematocrit of perfusate of EIPL and parameters of lung water increased also. In intact group : Pa increased slightly, respiratory rate accelerated immediately, and TV decreased. CONCLUSION:Although mean Pa increased continuously and slightly in both intact and IPL group following the exposure to high concentration of Cl 2, the primary cause of edema was most likely to alter pulmonary capillary permeability. The respiratory rate accelerated and TV decreased due to exposure to Cl 2 enhanced hypoxia of intact rabbits.
