Abstract: To investigate the changes of Chinese workers mental health status, data from 126 papers were analyzed using the cross-temporal meta-analysis. The reporting data were collected from 1993 to 2016 (N=101785), applying the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90). Results showed that: (1) Scores of 9 symptom dimensions of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with the year, which indicated that workers mental health level has been improved gradually over the past 24 years; (2) Correlations between four social indicators (the national consumption level, the per capita disposable income of all residents, the number of people employed in the secondary industry and the number of industrial enterprises above designated size) and scores of these 9 symptom dimensions were significantly negative, which suggested that changes in these social indicators may be key predicting factors for the rise of Chinese workers mental health level; (3) The increasing trend was more salient with female workers than with their male counterparts, however, there were no significant gender differences in their scores of all 9 symptom dimensions of SCL-90; (4) The mental health levels of workers from Eastern regions increased significantly over time, whereas that of workers from other regions has not changed significantly with year.
