This study aims to explore the construct of the strategies for solving creative social problems and its relationship with mental health, by using the Social Problem (Story) Situation Questionnaire and the Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) to test 541 college students selected by stratified sampling. The results show the following: (1) The originality, fluency, flexibility, appropriateness, and validity of the college students' strategies for solving creative social problems are inherently consistent, as can be demonstrated at the cumulative explanation rate of 89.68%, by using such major factors as the ability of divergent thinking and appropriateness extracted through an analysis of exploratory factors. (2) The settlement of creative social problems is not significantly correlated with mental health. (3) The students majoring in computer science who scored lower in the test through the SCL-90 achieve higher scores on the ability of divergent thinking than those who scored higher in the test through the SCL-90, and the students majoring in administration generally achieve higher scores on the settlement of creative social problems than those majoring in art and computer science. The students' majors might act as a moderator between the settlement of creative social problems and mental health in that the training related to such majors as administration is more likely to improve the strategies for solving creative social problems (including appropriateness and the ability of divergent thinking).
