Abstract:
Objective:To explore the personality latent profiles of university first-year students and examine their associations with demographic characteristics,psychological symptoms,and major satisfaction.Methods:A to-tal of 52 783 first-year university students were assessed with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI),Beck Depression Inventory,Beck Anxiety Inventory,self-developed major satisfaction item and demo-graphic checklist.Data were analyzed with potential profile model,chi-square test,multiple logistic regression,co-variance analysis and median test.Results:Five latent profiles of MMPI among university freshmen were found,namely gender conflict group(23.4％),real healthy group(27.9％),defensive healthy group(37.3％),borderline-psychosis risk group(6.7％)and neurosis risk group(4.8％).Gender,grade period,childhood up bringers,par-ents'marital status and family atmosphere predicted differences between profiles of MMPI.Different profiles showed statistically meaningful differences at depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms and major satisfaction.Conclusion:The latent profiles of MMPI among first-year university students demonstrate distinct classification patterns,diffe-ring demographic characteristics and psychologically problematic levels.
