Research on the Construction of Mental Health Mechanism for College Students under the Orientation of Cultivating Positive Mental Qualities

In today’s society, the psychological development of college students’ personality is nourished by positive factors such as multiculturalism and information technology, but at the same time, negative factors such as social competition and Internet addiction also pose challenges to their psychological health. College students are at a critical stage of rapid physical and mental changes, therefore, mental health education for college students is not only an educational responsibility, but also an urgent task given by the times. Positive psychology, as a new wave in the field of psychology, advocates exploring the potentials and advantages of human psychology with a positive attitude, providing a new perspective and concept for the innovation of mental health education. With the cultivation of positive psychological qualities as the core, this study aims to explore how to build a comprehensive, systematic and efficient mental health mechanism for college students in colleges and universities. Firstly, a solid theoretical foundation for the study is laid through an in-depth analysis of the core concepts of mental health, mental health education, college students’ mental health education, positive psychology and positive psychological quality. Subsequently, a comprehensive review of domestic and international research results in the field of positive psychology and college students’ mental health education was conducted, which provided a rich theoretical basis and practical reference for this study. On the basis of theoretical analysis, this study reveals the main problems existing in the current mental health education of college students through questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews and other empirical research methods, and in response to the above problems, puts forward innovative countermeasures for college students’ mental health mechanisms oriented to the cultivation of positive psychological qualities, forming a comprehensive mental health support system with the cultivation of positive psychological qualities at its core, covering prevention, intervention, education, and counselling.
