Positive Psychology Intervention: Alleviating College Students’ Employment Anxiety and Optimizing Mental Health Status
Fang QinAbstract
Objective
Fierce employment competition brings severe employment psychological pressure to college students, resulting in anxious and negative mental states, which seriously interfere with career decision-making and lead to sub-health mental conditions. Traditional psychological guidance focuses on crisis correction rather than positive guidance. This study applies positive psychology intervention methods to relieve students’ employment pressure, adjust their disordered mental states, and comprehensively improve their employment-related mental health.
Subjects and Methods
This research selects senior college students with employment confusion as research subjects. It adopts controlled intervention experiments, employment anxiety scales and mental health questionnaires. It compares the differences in students’ employment psychological pressure, emotional mental states and overall mental health levels before and after positive psychology intervention to verify its practical regulatory effect.
Results
Targeted positive psychology intervention effectively reduces college students’ excessive employment psychological pressure, significantly alleviates persistent employment anxiety, improves their pessimistic and fragile mental states in job hunting, and remarkably enhances their psychological resilience and overall mental health level.
Conclusions
Positive psychology intervention is an effective means to solve college students’ employment psychological problems. Systematic positive guidance can continuously relieve students’ long-term employment psychological pressure, shape stable and positive mental states, optimize individual mental health status, and help college students establish healthy and rational career psychology.
