A new study has found that working college students have more chances of suffering from mental health issues if their work relationships are bad compared to friendly work relationships. Lead study author Allison Vaughn, who is a psychology researcher at San Diego State University said that if a usual 24-hour day for a college student is considered, apart from sleeping, students go to school and study in addition to working part-time.

According to her, "It makes sense that the people a college student works with would also have the potential to be health-relevant. Students who need to work their way through school should try to make the most of these workplace relationships, just as you would with any friendship".

According to University of Illinois researcher in psychiatry and psychology Kathy Rospenda, perceptions of relationships could be there as a result of mental health.

As per University of Cincinnati researcher in health promotion and education, Rebecca Vidourek, students should ask good questions when they interrogate. Vidourek was not part of this study, however said that questions regarding work climate, demographics, flexibility for students could assist in deciding if a workplace is good for one.

And according to Massachusetts general Hospital mental health researcher Paola Pedrelli, it is possible that some students are passive and not like the responsibilities they are given, for the reason that they were not assertive or possibly aggressive.

She added that students working full-time could be deprived of time to sleep, exercise, eat properly and enjoy pleasant activities.
