1, richness. College students have a lot of self-experience, a strong demand for self-esteem, and are easy to feel inferior and conceited. In society, the communication scope of college students is expanding day by day, and some college students begin to fall in love, showing more delicate and complicated emotions; Others have learned more about society through various activities, learned social morality and values, and developed advanced feelings such as collective honor.
2. unstable. Because college students' outlook on life and values have not been fully finalized, their emotional activities are often strong and not lasting, and change with the change of mood. It is a common phenomenon that college students' moods are changeable, cloudy and rainy. College students' emotions tend to move from one extreme to the other, and their emotions are unstable.
3. Concealed. With the improvement of knowledge level and the enrichment of ideological connotation, college students are more obscure in emotional reflection. They have a certain ability to hide their true emotions, suppress their anger and sadness, and form the characteristics of duplicity. For example, someone is obviously bored with something, but for various reasons, he may show a better or indifferent attitude.
4. Impulse. Some psychologists describe youth as a period of "violent winds and waves". College students' emotions are often expressed quickly and strongly, and they are often excited and full of lofty sentiments because of a trivial matter. The impulsiveness of college students' emotions is generally manifested in their dissatisfaction with the external environment or others, their emotions are out of control, and their words and actions are extremely aggressive. If it is not guided, it will bring harm to college students themselves and society and will not be reused as it should be.
Psychologists believe that psychologically healthy college students should be able to correctly express their emotions; Self-evaluation is correct; Strong self-regulation ability; Sound will; Maintain the integrity and health of personality; Can actively adapt to the new environment, adjust and balance all aspects of psychological conflicts; Be able to accept yourself psychologically; Face the reality bravely; Have confidence in life and have confidence in yourself; Correct learning methods, etc.
Emotion is the most influential and powerful psychological factor, and strong negative emotions will affect college students' study, life and health. Research shows that emotional adjustment has a great influence on mental health, positive adjustment can improve the mental health level of college students, while negative adjustment will reduce the mental health level of college students, and the negative impact of negative adjustment on mental health is more significant. Therefore, in the mental health education of college students, we should guide them to know their own emotional characteristics and try to adjust their emotions. These methods are as follows:
1, automatic control. When some negative emotions are aroused, some college students will cry, shout, hit people, swear, and even take some extreme actions. At this time, you should calm down and consciously control your emotions. We should first carefully consider the pros and cons of taking this kind of behavior, and then choose an appropriate behavior to express our emotions. In addition, be careful not to lose your temper at will, and try to control yourself when you are angry or angry. Don't expand the seriousness of a thing at will, try to make it as small as possible, which can better promote the improvement of self-control ability.
2. Pay attention to the transfer. When you are in a bad mood, you should turn your attention to what you are interested in, or temporarily avoid the sad place. Such as going out for a walk, watching movies, listening to jokes, reading humorous stories, playing ball games, chatting with friends, changing the environment and looking for new happiness in activities. This method, on the one hand, prevents the influence of bad stimulation; On the other hand, I have improved my positive mood by participating in new activities, especially those I am interested in.
3. comfort yourself. People can't go smoothly everywhere. If they encounter difficulties and setbacks in study, employment and interpersonal communication, they can comfort themselves appropriately and persuade themselves to make concessions appropriately, and don't blame the failure on objective conditions and reality. At the same time, they should have the courage to admit and accept the reality. This method is very helpful to help people accept the reality, protect themselves and avoid mental breakdown when facing big setbacks. Often comforting yourself with words like "winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists", "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise" and "A bad thing turns into a good thing" can ease contradictions, eliminate anxiety, depression and disappointment, achieve the purpose of self-motivation, sum up experience and learn lessons, and help to maintain emotional peace and stability.
4. vent appropriately. When an emotional attack occurs, there is a hidden energy in the body. Excessive depression will only aggravate emotional distress and accumulate, which is harmful to physical and mental health. When college students have negative emotions such as anxiety, boredom and depression, it is beneficial to their physical and mental health to not just hide their conscience in their hearts and give them an appropriate vent to ease and improve their depression. There are two kinds of emotional venting: direct venting is to express emotions directly against the stimuli that trigger emotions. Indirect venting, such as finding a quiet place and shouting; Or pour out grievances and grievances to relatives and friends; Or vent through exercise and other means; Or write down negative emotions in words by keeping a diary. Once the venting is over, the mood will calm down and the negative emotions will be alleviated. When you adjust your negative emotions by venting, you should have a certain degree of self-control, you should not vent casually, and you should take the right way to avoid adverse consequences.
