Talk of a graduate student mental health crisis is abundant in academic and popular media, but a University of Otago study has found no evidence of one in New Zealand.
The study, published today in
Frontiers in Psychology, used data from the Graduate Longitudinal Study New Zealand to compare the mental wellbeing of students who did, and did not, transition into PhD study after completing their undergraduate degree.
Co-author Dr Damian Scarf, from the Department of Psychology, says the researchers found poor mental health is not an inevitable consequence of PhD study in New Zealand.

A Tauranga man accused of murdering a 17-month-old girl has vehemently denied he violently assaulted her while she was in his sole care. The defence lawyer for Adrian Colin Clancy, 39, argued at his trial there was no Crown evidence that linked Clancy to the alleged assault of the toddler.
Clancy has pleaded not guilty to murdering Sadie-Leigh Gardner in Tauranga on March 27, 2019. A trial by jury began in the High Court at Rotorua yesterday.
