Abstract
In order to explore the relationship between psychological capital and study engagement, as well as the role of positive emotion in it, we conducted a questionnaire survey. Participants were 211 (64 men, 147 women) students volunteers from Qingdao University. According to correlation analysis, we found that psychological capital had a positive impact on study engagement (r = 0.54, p < 0.01). According to structural equation modeling (SME), we found that positive emotion can be used as the mediator between psychological capital and study engagement. High psychological capital brought more positive emotional experiences, which improved the level of study engagement.

Summary
In today’s society, most college students are facing various challenges, such as unstable economy, market competition and high technology. In order to meet these challenges, it is necessary to improve college students’ professional performance by improving their psychological capital and study engagement (Feldman, Davidson, & Margalit, 2014). Due to the imperfection of education system in China, students devote most of their energy in high school to cope with the College Entrance Examination. The low requirements of Chinese universities on students lead to the low participation of students in class. Most college students begin to learn professional courses until the final examination.
