Analysis of variance was used to explore the relationship between latent categories of sense of hope and mental health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>High school students\u2019 sense of hope scores are negatively associated with mental health scores. The high school students\u2019 sense of hope could be divided into three latent categories: negative sense of hope group, moderate sense of hope group and positive sense of hope group. The differences in scores on each dimension of mental health among high school students with different latent categories of sense of hope were statistically significant. The positive sense of hope group had lower scores on the dimensions of somatization, compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, terror, paranoia, and psychosis than the negative sense of hope group and the moderate sense of hope group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There are three latent categories of high school students\u2019 sense of hope, and the sense of hope category is closely related to mental health. Based on the different categories of high school students\u2019 sense of hope, the program of mental health education can be reasonably selected to create a positive general environment for mental health education and ultimately enhance the mental health of high school students.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.1140480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T06:18:01Z","timestamp":1676873881000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Category characteristics of high school students\u2019 sense of hope and its relationship with mental health"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rui","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siyu","family":"Di","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yajing","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yafei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"493","article-title":"The effects of peer aggression on adolescents' well-being in parent-child separation situations: a follow-up study","volume":"19","author":"Chen","year":"2021","journal-title":"Psychol.
