Abstract

With an increasing national focus on mental health, there is a pressing need to address the well-being of graduate students. Societal instability and violent events have amplified psychological insecurity among them. This paper reviews existing literature on factors influencing the psychological security of graduate students. It categorizes these factors into individual, family, school, and societal dimensions. It identifies research gaps, proposes future study directions, and suggests strategies to enhance psychological security. The objective is to support personal growth, improve mental health, and empower effective navigation of academic and societal challenges.
