Research on the network structure and gender/age differences of psychological safety among urban residents: network analysis based on a large sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Psychological safety as the key to mental health, not only affects individual happiness and quality of life but also relates to social stability and harmony. However, psychological safety is complex and multidimensional, with unclear internal structures and influencing factors and insufficient research on gender and age differences. Urban residents are living in an environment characterized by fast-paced, high-pressure, multicultural integration, and complex social relationships. Therefore, in-depth exploration of its core dimensions and network structure is crucial for formulating effective mental health strategies and enhancing residents' sense of psychological safety.

Methods

A survey was conducted on 9,282 urban residents using the Psychological Safety Scale.
