The basic theories of psychology, such as developmental psychology, personality psychology and social psychology, can help us understand the psychological characteristics of college students, the rapid development stage and the influence of social environment on their mental health. These theories can help us better understand the psychological state of college students and provide scientific basis for mental health education.
Theoretical models of mental health education, such as self-determination theory, stress theory and social cognition theory, can guide us to adopt effective educational means and strategies in practice.
Self-determination theory emphasizes individual autonomy and intrinsic motivation, and holds that individual mental health is related to his self-determination ability; Stress theory pays attention to the individual's reaction and coping style when facing pressure, and guides us how to help college students cope with pressure; Social cognitive theory pays attention to individual's cognition and behavior in social environment, and guides us how to help college students establish positive social cognition and behavior patterns.
These basic theories provide scientific theoretical basis and practical guidance for college students' mental health education, which is helpful for us to better understand and solve college students' mental health problems and promote their physical and mental health and all-round development.
