The emotional education of college students analyzes the new characteristics of the emotional development of contemporary college students: the diversity of emotional needs, the contradiction of emotional experience, the singleness of emotional orientation and the universality of negative emotions.

Emotional education refers to taking emotion as an indispensable part of people's all-round development, dispelling or weakening negative emotional experiences such as inferiority, selfishness, indifference and anxiety, triggering and strengthening positive emotional experiences such as self-love, altruism, sympathy and acceptance, promoting and consolidating individual emotional ability with love as the core, and making it consciously emotional (moralized).
