Ideological and political education is a social practice in which a society or a social group exerts a purposeful, planned and organized influence on its members with certain ideological concepts, political views and moral norms, so as to form an ideological and moral quality that meets certain social requirements. Ideological and political education is a major offered by many universities in China. This major trains professionals who have the basic Marxist theory and professional knowledge of ideological and political education and can engage in ideological and political work in party and government organs, schools, enterprises and institutions. Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and knowledge of Marxism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and ideological and political education, receive the training of ideological and political education skills and methods, and master the basic ability to engage in ideological and political work.

The reasons are as follows: First, personality is the stable psychological basis for the formation of life values. People's values must be unified and stable, which requires a person's psychological process and personality form to be unified and stable. Otherwise, a divided personality can only produce the concept of division.

Second, personality is the internal psychological basis for forming a specific world outlook and outlook on life. World outlook is the understanding of the world. Although the correct world outlook comes from the correct theoretical guidance and study, if there is no benign personality form as the internal psychological basis, it is difficult to instill external ideas.

Third, personality is the main driving force to form a specific moral quality. Personality has the characteristics of quality. Therefore, once personality is formed, people have corresponding internal textures, and different textures will adapt to different moral tendencies. A benign personality is naturally easy to establish a benign moral quality. Of course, these basic functions of personality are not absolute, but often relative. At the same time, it also influences and transforms people's values, world outlook, outlook on life and moral consciousness. Therefore, personality has both unity and stability, differentiation and variability, and these characteristics also determine that benign personality is not easy to develop.

In a word, the personality state can be said to be a subtle, hidden and primitive ideological and moral state, and ideological and moral is often a developed, stereotyped, mature and explicit personality expression.
