This paper validates the applicability of the dual-factor model of mental health among new generation migrant workers in China. Methods In this study, 600 new generation migrant workers were recruited and tested on the symptom checklist 90, satisfaction with life scale, perceived stress scale, employee engagement inventory. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were performed, the differences between the unidimensional model and dual-factor model were also tested. Results The results showed that the dual-factor model of the mental health approach had better construct validity than the unidimensional model. And four subgroups could be significantly discriminated by the dual-factor model: mentally healthy (58.45%), vulnerable (30.87%), symptomatic but content (3.11%), and troubled (7.57%). Compared to the other three groups, workers who were mentally healthy showed higher perceived work values and lower perceived work stress. Conclusions The study suggests that a dual-factor model of mental health can be applied to new generation migrant workers in China, with positive mental health and psychopathology being important predictors of mental health.Qingji ZhangJinglin LuPeng QuanBMCarticleDual-factor modelPositive mental healthPsychopathologyNew generation migrant workersPsychologyBF1-990ENBMC Psychology, Vol 9, Iss 1, Pp 1-7 (2021)
