Zusammenfassung:The growing prevalence of mental health issues underscores the need for innovative screening methods. Large-scale, internet-based psychological screening has emerged as a vital tool to accurately determine morbidity rates and facilitate early diagnosis of mental disorders. However, conventional psychological screening methods often struggle with non-genuine responses and lack objective metrics. To bridge this gap, we have compiled a novel dataset derived from an expansive screening initiative at Xinxiang Medical University. The study, conducted from February 27 to March 17, 2021, yielded a dataset comprising responses from 24,292 students to four well-established psychological scales—PHQ-9, GAD-7, ISI, and PSS. A distinctive feature of this dataset is the inclusion of response time data, which captures the temporal dynamics of participants’ interactions with the scales, offering valuable insights into their response behaviour. The release of this dataset offers a substantial opportunity for researchers in the domains of psychology and public health to explore new insights into mental health, scale reliability, and the dynamics of psychological assessment.
