Sincerity among campus lovers questioned
(Shanghai Daily)
Updated: 2006-03-02 13:49 Only 11.2 percent of respondents believe in true
love among university and college campus lovers, according to a survey issued on
the "Blue Book on Education" published by the Academy of Social Sciences
yesterday, Xinhua News Agency reported.
Most respondents to the survey, concerning the public's views upon
contemporary college students, agree that the college students' main purpose in
seeking romantic relationships is to get rid of depression and loneliness, or to
fulfill physiological needs.
The report also showed that the respondents believe that a major mental
problem among these students is depression and almost 10 percent of the
respondents believe that college students are prone to suicide. More than half
of the respondents attribute this problem to the pressures of job-hunting.
Almost all respondents hold negative views toward "intimate behaviors among
campus lovers in public" which has been criticized as against public morals and
social ethics in China.
China Youth University for Political Sciences launched this survey last July
and issued 546 copies of questionnaires to various government authorities,
enterprises and residential communities in Beijing. Respondents, totaling 534,
included managerial personnel, white-collar workers, high school students and
teaching staff and retired personnel.
