Cultivating new applied financial investment talents in students with social anxiety disorder

Abstract

BackgroundTo adapt to the development of the industry, universities actively explore the training mode of applied financial investment talents. However, whether students with social anxiety disorder can adjust and grow smoothly in this new teaching environment has not been thoroughly studied. This study aims to analyze the specific impact of a new applied financial investment talent training model on students with social anxiety disorder.Subjects and MethodsSix hundred students majoring in financial investment from a particular university were selected, of which 100 were diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. In a 6-month new teaching model experiment, students’ learning attitudes, social abilities, and emotional fluctuations were comprehensively evaluated using the Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS).ResultsResearch has found that students with social anxiety disorder significantly improve their learning engagement and initiative under the new training mode. Among them, 73% of patients stated that they experienced a significant sense of achievement in group collaboration and practical applications, and social anxiety symptoms were alleviated to a certain extent. However, some students still feel pressure during large-scale public demonstrations or speeches.ConclusionsThe new model of cultivating applied financial investment talents in universities can, to some extent, help students with social anxiety disorders establish confidence, improve social skills, and encourage them to participate more actively in learning. However, at the same time, in response to their specific needs, universities still need to strengthen mental health education and personalized guidance to ensure the comprehensiveness and fairness of education.
