Psychological Motivation of Mental Health and Risk Prevention in the Belt and Road International Financial Cooperation Based on Trust Mechanism

Tao Ma, Jianming Zhang

Abstract

Objective

Uncertain cross-border market volatility and information asymmetry impose lasting cooperative psychological pressure on financial practitioners, induce pessimistic mental status, impair occupational mental health, and hinder the steady and orderly advancement of Belt and Road international financial cooperation. This paper dissects trust-driven psychological motivation behind cross-border financial collaboration and constructs targeted risk prevention approaches to effectively mitigate participants’ cooperative pressure and stabilize their mental health status.

Subjects and Methods

Taking financial institutions and cooperative stakeholders of Belt and Road projects as research samples, this paper adopts literature collation, empirical data statistics and psychological questionnaire surveys. It systematically explores the internal correlations among trust degree, fluctuating psychological pressure, dynamic mental states and financial risk generation, and summarizes the inherent psychological influence laws of cooperative behaviors.

Results

A sound trust mechanism significantly reduces information-derived psychological pressure for all cooperation participants, eliminates anxious mental states caused by unpredictable cooperative risks, avoids potential financial risks induced by negative mentality, and effectively upgrades practitioners’ overall mental health and active cooperation initiative.

Conclusions

The trust-centered risk prevention framework can stabilize the psychological expectation of financial practitioners, relieve long-term accumulated cooperative psychological pressure, correct abnormal mental conditions, and fully safeguard practitioners’ mental health. It lays a solid psychological foundation for the sustainable and high-quality development of cross-border financial cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
