The university stage is the peak of the rapid psychological development of college students. When faced with numerous pressures and challenges, it is easy to cause psychological contradictions and confusion. This requires contemporary college students to have a certain understanding of psychological stress. When confusion comes, we should have correct cognitive awareness and high psychological quality, so as to play a preventive role or learn to really extricate ourselves.
First, the types and causes of students' psychological stress
For college students, the university is the practice base to go to the society, where they have to face the pressure from society, family, individuals, schools and other aspects, which requires college students to have a mature value system and evaluation criteria. According to a recent survey of students in Yangtze University, the main types of students' psychological pressure are economic pressure, study pressure and employment pressure, followed by interpersonal pressure, family pressure and image pressure. And the stress is different among students of different grades in the university (see table 1).
1 economic pressure
Economic pressure is the most important kind of student pressure. It is more prominent when entering the first year of college and leaving school after graduation. In recent years, college tuition fees have been increasing and reached the peak in 2005, which has brought considerable economic pressure to college students from rural areas. Although the state allows and encourages college students to complete their studies through loans, the amount and quota of loans are limited and cannot meet the needs of all students. Some students also have a strong sense of inferiority and lack a positive attitude towards life because of financial difficulties. Nowadays, college students hope to complete their studies through their own efforts while practicing in college, which leads to many college students taking part-time jobs and losing time to study, rest and communicate with their classmates, thus causing some other contradictions and worries.
2. Study pressure
College students' courses are very professional, and specialized courses occupy an important position, which requires more than simple understanding and memory. On the contrary, we need to apply what we have learned and encourage innovative talents. So what? How to study? This idea revolves around many college students. Furthermore, in order to improve students' comprehensive quality, the school has taken measures to link credits and Band 4 with degrees. In order to enrich their connotation, students also constantly give themselves mental pressure. In junior and senior years, study is busier, and study pressure becomes the main pressure that affects college students. According to statistics, in the first year of college, students have just come out of the tense college entrance examination and feel that there is little pressure to study in college. However, with the CET-4 and the postgraduate entrance examination, the pressure is gradually increasing.
3. Employment pressure
? Graduation means unemployment? Said. With the talent market approaching saturation, it is becoming more and more difficult for college students to find a job or find a satisfactory job, which has caused great frustration and powerlessness to the senior students in the university, especially to some students with no social background and poor economy, which has caused great psychological pressure and anxiety and helplessness.
4. Interpersonal stress
Due to the family environment, contemporary college students have formed a self-centered thought since childhood, and they don't know how to communicate with people, basic etiquette and skills, and don't pay attention to respecting and understanding others. For a large group of students from all corners of the country, what is needed is a kind of harmony and tolerance, that is, those inherent concepts and viewpoints are opposite, which will also lead to emotional backlog and psychological problems over time. If this situation is not understood and guided, some students will easily get bored, which is a serious mental atrophy and will produce serious psychological obstacles. Some people choose to release their distorted selves in the virtual society, and feel more confused about the complicated society, so that they can't get rid of it.
5. Family pressure
The family pressure mainly comes from the gap between parents' expectations and their own situation. Faced with their parents' desire for success and success, they are afraid that they can't meet their parents' wishes and live up to their parents' painstaking efforts, thus giving their parents some pressure invisibly. Other students' imperfect family life, or single-parent families, or parents' discord and lack of warmth will cause indelible trauma to their hearts and feelings are very fragile.
6. Image pressure
This kind of pressure is more common in female college students, who are dissatisfied with their appearance, weight and figure. And it is easy to compare with others, leading to psychological distortion. However, previous research shows that most college students will not have excessive psychological burden because of their own image conditions.
Second, some countermeasures to alleviate the psychological pressure of contemporary college students
1. Personal aspects
A lot of psychological pressure comes from one's attitude. If you want to overcome it, you must keep a normal heart when difficulties and setbacks come. First of all, we should dare to face up to the pressure, regard it as a new challenge with optimism and try to find a solution, which will turn the pressure into motivation. Secondly, don't expect too much, be good at self-criticism. There is always a gap between expectation and reality. When some expectations are not realized, we should learn to think about the existing facts from another angle, and don't always indulge in disappointment. And when you can't give yourself a reasonable explanation from any angle outside, you need to criticize yourself. Many things are mutual, maybe some psychological pressure comes from oneself. Furthermore, establish harmonious interpersonal relationships. The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as people? Enough to show the importance of human harmony. Only with harmonious interpersonal relationships can we have a good study and living environment and reduce contradictions. Finally, learn to vent.
2. family.
Compared with stressors, parents should correctly treat their children's interests or value orientation, set appropriate expectations for their children, and avoid the negative effects caused by excessive expectations. Secondly, facing the complicated world, college students often don't know how to judge. At this time, parents should also rely on their own experience to give correct guidance, but they can't cover everything. Third, parents are always the people that children trust most. Parents should communicate with their children more, so that children can have a sense of trust and be honest with each other, which is conducive to the development of psychological ability.
3. On the school side
First of all, we should strengthen psychological education and publicity to improve the comprehensive quality of college students. Help students establish a correct outlook on life and values.
Second, give full play to the role of psychological training and counseling. In psychological training, some suggestive methods can be used to improve psychological quality. Offering psychological counseling activities can also provide a platform for students to talk and seek help in time.
Third, develop colorful campus activities and create a humanistic campus. Rich campus activities can cultivate the spirit of unity and cooperation and a sense of collective honor, so that college students have a positive attitude, relax themselves in busy study, and achieve the function of decompression.
4. Social aspects
The end point of college students' study career is society. They are particularly concerned about the development of society, and we can use this link to strengthen the publicity of psychological knowledge. The confusion of college students to society may mainly lie in the employment problem, which requires the society to speed up the improvement of the talent market and help college students solve some employment problems. At the same time, we should also increase the intensity of loans or grants as much as possible to reduce the financial pressure on students.
Third, the conclusion
College students will face all kinds of psychological pressures during their college years, which will have a certain impact on their lives. To solve this problem, college students need to have a perfect psychological system and meet the diversified university life with a positive and optimistic attitude, so as to finally have a satisfactory result.
