Where does the psychological confusion of college students come from? Generally speaking, it is a "high" and a "low": high, college students are a group bearing high expectations of society and parents, and their desire for self-development is very strong; Low, its psychological development is not yet mature, lack of social experience, poor adaptability. It is this contradiction between desire and impossibility that causes the psychological problems of college students. Specifically, I think it can be considered from three aspects.
The influence of family education
1. Improper education and raising methods. For a long time, under the baton of college entrance examination, schools and parents often adopt the method of exam-oriented education in the process of educating students, focusing only on intellectual education, without infiltrating the cultivation of students' psychological quality and ignoring the cultivation of students' healthy personality. At the same time, a considerable number of parents adopt simple and rude traditional paternalistic means because of their low educational level. This negative parenting style is easy to make children form sensitive, suspicious, inferior, irritable, depressed, anxious, paranoid, hostile and other unhealthy qualities. In a word, there is a positive correlation between college students' mental health level and schools, parents' educational concepts and family rearing patterns.
2. Neglect the family education of college students. Quite a few parents pay more attention to providing financial support for their children after they are admitted to college, and pay less attention to their psychological growth. Family education is a continuous process. Family education in colleges and universities is the continuation of family education in previous stages, but it has its particularity, which is mainly reflected in the fact that family education for college students is mainly non-intellectual education, and its content is to cultivate comprehensive quality in cooperation with schools and society. This requires parents to constantly learn new educational concepts, understand the psychological characteristics of college students, and do a good job in regulating and guiding their psychological pressure.
The influence of social reality
The fierce competition in the market economy has not only promoted the rapid development of all aspects of society, but also triggered a series of social problems. The intense pace of life and great work pressure make people feel depressed and tired. Reform and opening up provide good opportunities for college students, but a series of social unhealthy phenomena have also caused many psychological contradictions of college students, and even personally felt the pain of social transformation, which made college students' personality weaknesses appear and formed psychological diseases.
People's psychological quality is gradually formed and developed with their growth. Because we neglected the cultivation and training of teenagers' psychological quality in the past, it is particularly important to strengthen psychological quality education in higher education. Only by improving their psychological quality can college students face up to social unhealthy phenomena, turn pressure into motivation and better strive for and grasp social opportunities.
Lack of psychological counseling in colleges and universities
School education plays an important role in the formation of personality. College students in adolescence tend to mature physically and mentally, but they have not yet formed a completely healthy personality. Judging from the psychological confusion of college students, many of them are caused by personality disorder. However, it is reported that the psychological counseling center of Peking University Hospital has to consult every Monday to Friday afternoon, and the patients who have made an appointment for treatment have been scheduled for two months; Up to now, 52.2% of colleges and universities in Beijing have not set up psychological counseling institutions or specially trained psychological counseling teachers, and many psychological problems of students are still confused with general ideological problems and given unscientific teaching.
In view of the current situation, colleges and universities should gradually improve their work in two aspects: first, it is more harmful than sewing chairs, establishing professional teams and strengthening psychological counseling functions. Psychological counseling is a highly professional job, and people without professional training are prone to deviation in guiding methods, so it is time for colleges and universities to form a qualified psychological counseling team. Secondly, psychological education should be curriculum-based and multi-channel. At the university stage, most students only encounter some common psychological problems, and it is far better to take the road of prevention for common psychological problems than to "mend it after it is too late". Schools should offer relevant courses according to students' mental health status, and popularize mental health knowledge through school magazines, school radio stations, campus networks and other carriers, so that college students can learn to adjust themselves psychologically, eliminate psychological confusion and improve their ability to bear and cope with setbacks.
