description With China's economic and social development entering a new era, the improvement of miners' living standards and safety production conditions in coal mine are bound to have a new impact on the safety needs of miners. In order to explore the structural changes of miners' safety demands in the new era, this research adopts the second-order confirmatory factor analysis method to investigate miners from six coal mining enterprises based on Koffka's cognitive psychology theory. Firstly, according to the interaction between the behavioral environment and the self-regulation of coal miners, six potential variables affecting miners' safety psychology, such as material satisfaction, non-skill internal causes, professionalism, emotional attribution, safety atmosphere, and organizational management, are selected. Then, each potential variable is subdivided into 3 observation variables, for a total of 18 observation variables, and a 3-tier comprehensive structural model of miners' safety psychology is constructed that takes into account both evaluation and path integration. The results showed that, affected by the interaction of various potential variables, the degree and intensity of the influence of each factor on miners' safety psychology were different. Among them, emotional attribution was the most significant factor affecting miners' safety psychology, while the influence of organizational management was slightly less important than emotional attribution. Organizational management had a positive impact on material satisfaction and non-skill internal factors. Occupational literacy, material satisfaction, and safety atmosphere had strong impacts on miners' safety psychology. But the impact of non-skill factors on miners' safety psychology was lower than other factors, which is different to previous studies on this aspect.
