The interpersonal relationship is one of the critical factors which always affect the mental health of college student. Using the methods of questionnaire and agent-based simulation, this paper constructs a multi-agent model of college students’ risk behaviors and studies the college students' behavior choice tendency under the influence of interpersonal relationship, the mechanism of college students' risk behaviors, and finds preventive measures. The results show that: the impact of interpersonal relationships on college students’ risk behaviors is very significant; the risk behaviors of college students can be prevented by improving the interpersonal environment around them.
