Objective: In the context of rising concerns about the psychological well-being of college students in China, this study explores the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on their psychological health. These factors are of particular interest due to their relevance to emotional regulation, social support, and self-perception, which are critical in a rapidly changing social environment. Methods: The study involved 487 college students from colleges in Yunnan Province. Participants completed the Core Socialist Values Scale, Mindfulness Scale, Comprehensive Psychological Health Assessment Questionnaire (including Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Satisfaction with Life Scale), and Self-enhancement Strategy Questionnaire. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 27. Results: Correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between mindfulness and psychological health (r = 0.50, p < 0.01), and between core socialist values and psychological health (r = 0.29, p < 0.01). No significant correlation was found between self-enhancement and psychological health (r = -0.03, p > 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that mindfulness significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.24), and core socialist values also significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.08). The regression model combining mindfulness and core socialist values predicted psychological health more significantly (adjusted R² = 0.26). Conclusion: The results indicate that both mindfulness and core socialist values significantly predict the psychological health of college students, while self-enhancement does not. Mindfulness promotes psychological health by enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation, while core socialist values enhance it by strengthening social support and value identification. These findings provide a theoretical basis for psychological health interventions for college students, suggesting the combined use of mindfulness practices and values education to promote psychological health.

Mindfulness, Core Socialist Values, Self-Enhancement, Psychological Health
1. Introduction
In the context of socialism with Chinese characteristics, disseminating core socialist values is highly significant. Core socialist values (CSV) embody the spirit of China, provide a moral standard for contemporary Chinese people, and guide the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, aiming for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

Psychological health (PH) is crucial for the physical and mental development and social adaptation of college students, forming the foundation for their success. With the rise of positive psychology, researchers advocate for a multidimensional understanding of psychological health, including mental health issues, life satisfaction, and positive emotional experiences. According to Liu Xinyi, psychological health is defined as the absence of mental illness symptoms, good psychological functioning, and a positive, happy mental state

Psychological health promotes the development of healthy psychological qualities in college students and is crucial for their social integration, intellectual performance, active participation in social activities, and continual advancement. From an adaptation perspective, psychological health helps college students overcome dependency, enhance independence, and lead fulfilling college lives. Maintaining psychological health helps college students cultivate qualities like self-reliance, self-improvement, and self-discipline, enhance social interaction skills, make sound choices in complex environments, and face challenges, laying a solid foundation for future career success

. Therefore, it is necessary to explore additional factors that promote the psychological health of college students.
From the perspective of practicing core socialist values, mindfulness therapy can effectively promote their dissemination among college students. Core socialist values include prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness. These values provide guidance for college students at national, social, and individual levels

, potentially enhancing the psychological health of college students more effectively.
This study, based on Beck's cognitive theory, examines the effects of core socialist values, mindfulness, and self-enhancement on psychological health. According to Beck's cognitive theory, an individual's cognition generates emotions and behaviors. Therefore, initiating psychological intervention and regulation at the cognitive level can influence the stimulus-response process.
Based on the above background, this study proposes the following hypotheses:
H1: College students with higher levels of mindfulness may have better psychological health.
H2: College students with higher recognition of core socialist values may have better psychological health.
H3: The synergistic effect of mindfulness and core socialist values significantly predicts college students' psychological health better than their individual effects.
H4: Self-enhancement may have a significant effect on predicting college students' psychological health.
2. Methods

, this questionnaire measures participants' self-enhancement levels. It includes four major strategies: positive acceptance, favorable interpretation, self-affirmation reflection, and defensive strategies. Each strategy contains several items rated on a 1-6 Likert scale, where higher scores indicate more frequent use of the strategy. The Cronbach's α coefficient of this scale is 0.94.
2.3. Procedure
We enter the aforementioned measurement tools into Wenjuanxing to form an online questionnaire. The questionnaire includes basic demographic information (such as gender, age, etc.) and items from each measurement tool. Invite participants to complete the questionnaire voluntarily through an online survey. Ensure the anonymity and confidentiality of data during the completion process. After data collection, export the questionnaire data and input it into SPSS 27 for statistical analysis. Data analysis includes descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to explore the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on psychological health.
3. Results
The study employed descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis to explore the predictive effects of mindfulness and core socialist values on psychological health. First, the study used correlation analysis to examine the relationships among mindfulness, core socialist values, self-enhancement, and psychological health. Then, regression analysis was used to examine the predictive effects of mindfulness on psychological health, the predictive effects of core socialist values on psychological health, and the combined predictive effects of mindfulness and core socialist values on psychological health.
The results of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis revealed significant correlations between mindfulness, core socialist values, self-enhancement, and psychological health, as detailed in Table 1.

4. Discussion
The study examines the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on psychological health. The results show that both mindfulness and core socialist values positively predict psychological health, while self-enhancement does not significantly correlate with psychological health.
Mindfulness and core socialist values significantly positively impact the psychological health of college students. Correlation analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between mindfulness and psychological health (r =0.50, p < 0.01), indicating that higher mindfulness levels correspond to better psychological health. Similarly, core socialist values positively correlate with psychological health (r = 0.29, p < 0.01), suggesting that higher recognition of these values associates with better psychological health. Additionally, mindfulness significantly correlates with core socialist values (r =.28, p < 0.01), meaning higher mindfulness levels align with greater recognition of core socialist values. However, self-enhancement shows no significant correlations with mindfulness, core socialist values, or psychological health (r = -0.05, r = 0.06, r = -0.03, p > 0.05), indicating its insignificant role in this study. The role of self-enhancement requires further research.
The significant positive effect of mindfulness on psychological health shows that college students with higher mindfulness levels have better psychological health. Regression analysis reveals an adjusted R² of 0.24, indicating that mindfulness explains about 24.1% of the variance in psychological health, meeting the standard for a large effect size

. The standardized regression coefficient for mindfulness is 0.50 (t = 6.76, p <0.01), and the unstandardized coefficient is 1.39 (standard error = 0.21). Each unit increase in mindfulness score raises the psychological health score by an average of 1.39 units. Previous studies show that mindfulness reduces anxiety and depression and improves life satisfaction by enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation

. Thus, this study supports the crucial role of mindfulness in promoting college students' psychological health, emphasizing its theoretical basis and practical value in psychological interventions.
Core socialist values significantly and moderately predict psychological health. Regression analysis shows an adjusted R² of 0.08, indicating that core socialist values explain about 7.7% of the variance in psychological health, meeting the standard for a moderate effect size (Cohen, 1988). The standardized regression coefficient is 0.29 (t = 3.57, p <0.01), and the unstandardized coefficient is 0.89 (standard error = 0.25). Each unit increase in core socialist values score increases the psychological health score by an average of 0.89 units. Previous studies show that core socialist values enhance psychological health by providing positive social support and value recognition

. Core socialist values, such as integrity, kindness, and dedication, enhance individuals' sense of social responsibility and belonging, helping them feel more supported and understood during social pressures and challenges. Additionally, these core values provide positive life goals and directions, allowing individuals to feel more achievement and happiness in realizing personal value
[2]

. Therefore, this study supports the role of core socialist values in promoting the psychological health of college students, emphasizing the theoretical basis and practical significance of integrating values education into psychological health education.
The combined predictive effects of mindfulness and core socialist values on psychological health are significant and substantial. Regression analysis shows that the combined model of mindfulness and core socialist values has an adjusted R² of 0.26, explaining about 26% of the variance in psychological health. The standardized regression coefficient for mindfulness is 0.45 (t = 5.97, p <0.01), and for core socialist values, it is 0.16 (t = 2.15, p <0.05). Mindfulness plays a dominant role in predicting psychological health, while core socialist values play a supportive role. The unstandardized regression coefficient is 1.26 (standard error = 0.21) for mindfulness and 0.50 (standard error = 0.23) for core socialist values. These results indicate that combining mindfulness and core socialist values significantly impacts psychological health. Each unit increase in mindfulness and core socialist values scores leads to an average increase of 1.26 and 0.50 units in psychological health scores, respectively.
Cognitive theory explains this synergistic effect. Beck's cognitive theory states that an individual's cognitive style affects their emotions and behaviors

. This value recognition provides clear life goals and directions, increasing individuals' sense of meaning and achievement. Therefore, combining mindfulness and core socialist values significantly impacts psychological health through dual cognitive and emotional pathways.
Although this study revealed significant predictive effects of mindfulness and core socialist values on the psychological health of college students, it still has some limitations and requires further research for improvement. First, the questionnaire survey method used in this study mainly relies on self-reporting, which may have social desirability effects and memory biases. Future research can combine observational methods and multi-source data collection methods to improve the reliability and validity of the data. Secondly, this study found that the correlations between self-enhancement and mindfulness, core socialist values, and psychological health were not significant. This result may be due to the diversity and complexity of self-enhancement strategies and the limitations of the measurement tools in capturing self-enhancement strategies. Future research should further explore the role of self-enhancement in different contexts, possibly needing improved measurement tools or more diverse methods to assess self-enhancement

. Finally, the long-term intervention effects of mindfulness and core socialist values remain unclear. Future research can design longitudinal studies to track the long-term impacts of interventions on the psychological health of college students, thus providing more comprehensive theoretical and practical guidance for psychological health education

This study aims to explore the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on the psychological health of college students. Statistical analysis revealed significant predictive effects of mindfulness and core socialist values on the psychological health of college students, with mindfulness showing a large effect size and core socialist values showing a moderate effect size. The synergistic effect of mindfulness and core socialist values further enhanced their predictive effects on the psychological health of college students, indicating that their combined effect has a more significant impact on promoting psychological health. The study found no significant correlations between self-enhancement and mindfulness, core socialist values, and psychological health, indicating that the diversity of self-enhancement strategies and the limitations of measurement tools require further exploration. Future research can consider enhancing the understanding and training of mindfulness and core socialist values to improve the psychological health of college students.

abstract = {Objective: In the context of rising concerns about the psychological well-being of college students in China, this study explores the predictive effects of mindfulness, core socialist values, and self-enhancement on their psychological health. These factors are of particular interest due to their relevance to emotional regulation, social support, and self-perception, which are critical in a rapidly changing social environment. Methods: The study involved 487 college students from colleges in Yunnan Province. Participants completed the Core Socialist Values Scale, Mindfulness Scale, Comprehensive Psychological Health Assessment Questionnaire (including Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Satisfaction with Life Scale), and Self-enhancement Strategy Questionnaire. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS 27. Results: Correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between mindfulness and psychological health (r = 0.50, p 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that mindfulness significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.24), and core socialist values also significantly predicted psychological health (adjusted R² = 0.08). The regression model combining mindfulness and core socialist values predicted psychological health more significantly (adjusted R² = 0.26). Conclusion: The results indicate that both mindfulness and core socialist values significantly predict the psychological health of college students, while self-enhancement does not. Mindfulness promotes psychological health by enhancing self-awareness and emotional regulation, while core socialist values enhance it by strengthening social support and value identification. These findings provide a theoretical basis for psychological health interventions for college students, suggesting the combined use of mindfulness practices and values education to promote psychological health.
