Research on Stress Management and Psychological Resilience Cultivation of College Students

Abstract

With the increasingly fierce social competition and the deepening of the reform of higher education, college students are facing greater psychological pressure due to various issues such as study, employment, and interpersonal relationships. The incidence of psychological disorders is also increasing year by year. Psychological resilience, as an important ability for individuals to handle difficulties and restore psychological functions, is particularly crucial for college students. This paper combines the stress management theory of positive psychology to study the sources and characteristics of stress faced by contemporary college students, as well as the infl uence process of psychological resilience on stress management. It explores the cultivation methods of psychological resilience for college students from four aspects: cognitive reappraisal, emotion regulation, social support, and practical exercise, with the aim of providing some reference for schools to carry out mental health education and helping more college students achieve physical and mental health and all-round development.
