Improvement of Academic Procrastination among High School Students through Psychological Resilience Group Counseling

High school students' academic pressure is heavy, and they are in the second accelerated period of physical development. Many behaviors in daily life need to consume self-control resources, so that their words and deeds can contribute to their long-term interests and meet the expectations of important others. For students, academic procrastination has become an extremely common existence in learning. At present, due to the large number of middle school students who procrastinate and the relatively insufficient number of psychological counseling teachers, individual counseling is far from meeting the needs of many middle school students, and group psychological counseling can just make up for this problem. Group career counseling can improve senior high school students' awareness of career planning, so that they can have a clearer understanding of themselves and the environment and make initial career decisions. This paper will analyze the current situation and causes of learning procrastination of senior high school students, and design and implement a group psychological counseling program in combination with the relevant theories of learning procrastination, so as to lay a foundation for further understanding the causes of learning procrastination of senior high school students in the future.

Effect of Marxist ideological and political education on students' anxiety in colleges and universities.

With the rapid development of China’s economy, politics and culture, the frequency of college students’ anxiety has generally increased. Ideological and political educators in colleges should help college students to relieve anxiety and pressure in a timely manner, and constantly put forward effective and targeted methods. This paper analyzed the reasons for the anxiety of college students from three aspects: the way of dealing with the interpersonal relationship of college students, the degree of emphasis on college students’ academic performance, and the way of college students’ self-decompression. This paper proposed ways to strengthen the ability of thinking, carry out setback education, and improve the psychological quality of college students to realize the Marxist ideological and political education in colleges. This paper mainly used questionnaires and in-depth interviews to analyze the influence of mental health education courses on college students’ anxiety management ability. Among them, after the end of the mental health education course, a questionnaire was distributed to the selected research subjects to understand their stress management ability status after the course. Through the analysis and comparison of the results of the two questionnaires before and after, as well as the comparison of the conventional teaching methods of college students’ mental health education different from the teaching methods of group psychological counseling, it is necessary to understand the way college students’ deal with anxiety. The study found that 19.23% of the students had great anxiety about interpersonal communication problems, and 9.62% of the students reported that they had no major anxiety problems. Therefore, Marxist ideological and political education in colleges has become an important means for college students to vent their emotions, relieve psychological pressure and avoid adverse consequences.

Effect of Multivoice Chorus on Interpersonal Communication Disorder.

Objective As a type of music therapy, multipart chorus does not have high requirements for participants, and the basic level can be high or low. For college students, it is more likely to participate. Exploring the effect of multivoice chorus intervention on college students' mental health can provide reference for school psychological correction work. This study uses multivoice chorus as a means, combined with certain group psychological counseling techniques, to try to explore a new model for improving the mental health of college students. Method Fifty college students in prison were selected as subjects and randomly divided into the control group and experimental group. The multivoice chorus method was used to conduct an intervention test on the mental health of the college students in the experimental group, and the observation was carried out for 3 months. Before and after the intervention, the anxiety self-rating scale, the trust scale, the social avoidance and distress scale, the shyness scale, the UCLA loneliness scale, and the college student psychological test personality subtest were used for psychological testing and evaluation. Results/Discussion. College students can actively recognize and reflect on their own behavior, and objectively evaluate others. Through the cognition and management of emotions, college students can handle personal emotions well in interpersonal communication. In the later stage of multivoice chorus, they can help each other, establish a mutual assistance system, help each other, and discuss and learn interpersonal communication skills together, so that college students can learn good interpersonal communication experience and skills from others in various interactions, achieve self-help, and promote college students to work together. In the process of interfering with interpersonal communication disorder, simple psychological counseling has also improved the phenomenon of interpersonal communication disorder, but the experimental effect is far from the effect of the combination of music education and psychological counseling, and it is relatively unstable in the stability test. In the specific operation, in the purely psychological counseling process, college students with interpersonal barriers do not actively cooperate with the intervention, the operating atmosphere is relatively dull, and the teachers are time-consuming and labor-intensive during the psychological counseling process, but the results are minimal. The only effect is also worn out within a few weeks, and the stability is poor. It can be seen that music education has played a pivotal role as a medium in the intervention of interpersonal communication disorders, which can make the intervention process easier, more effective, and more stable.

STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF PSYCHODRAMA THERAPY ON THE EMOTIONAL REGULATION OF COLLEGE TEACHERS DURING THE EPIDEMIC OF COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS DISEASE

BackgroundCoronavirus disease has appeared at home and abroad since December 2019. In order to effectively control the epidemic and save lives, the government has taken a series of isolation and family work measures. The sudden outbreak of the epidemic has disturbed normal life and had a great impact on the teaching of colleges and universities in China. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mental health status and emotional regulation ability of college teachers during the coronavirus epidemic in 2019.Research Objects and MethodsCluster sampling method was used to select 400 school groups from a university in Hunan Province. 363 valid data were collected, with an effective rate of 90.75%. There are 187 boys and 176 girls; 104 liberal arts students, 95 science students and 164 engineering students; 205 only children and 158 non only children; The age range was 17-22 years old, with an average age of 19.26 ± 0.93 years.ResultsParticipating in Psychodrama can effectively reduce the psychological pressure of college teachers and prevent depression. The data showed that the comprehensive score of DASS-21 of teachers who did not participate in Psychodrama was 1.7 times that of teachers who participated in psychodrama. In contrast, college teachers who do not participate in Psychodrama are more likely to show depression, anxiety and stress, and tend to be passive in simple coping styles. Participating in psychological drama can effectively alleviate the psychological pressure of college teachers and improve their ability to actively deal with the pressure during the epidemic. Because the path coefficient of emotional regulation self-efficacy to express positive emotional self-efficacy is small (γ= 0.15), therefore, the mediating role of the three components of emotion regulation self-efficacy is specifically analyzed. Correlation analysis found that only the self-efficacy of managing depression / pain and anger / anger were significantly correlated with social anxiety, aggression and depression (Ps < 0.01). According to the mediation effect test procedure [22], calculate the mediation effect and explain the total effect as β a ×β b/ β c. It can be seen from table 2 that social anxiety is the independent variable and aggression and depression are the dependent variables respectively. When the self-efficacy of managing depression / pain is the intermediary variable, the total effect of intermediary effect interpretation is 40.61% and 34.06% respectively; When the self-efficacy of managing anger / anger was the mediating variable, the total mediating effect was 55.77% and 31.81% respectively.ConclusionMost teachers have excessive psychological pressure and anxiety, and a few teachers have serious problems. Dass scored 21. At the same time, the comparative experimental study shows that participating in Psychodrama can alleviate the working pressure of teachers to a certain extent, effectively reduce the psychological pressure of college teachers during the epidemic and prevent depression. The data showed that during the epidemic period, the DASS-21 mental health score of teachers who did not participate in Psychodrama was 1.7 times that of teachers who participated in psychodrama. College teachers who did not participate in Psychodrama were more likely to show depression, anxiety and stress, and tended to be passive in simple coping styles.AcknowledgementsThe authors acknowledge the Medical Research Key Project of Chongqing Health and Family Planning Commission, 2016ZDXM003 and the Exploring self injury suicidal behavior and prevention strategies of depressed adolescents based on family factors, key project of Chongqing Municipal Education Commission, 19SKGH018; The effect of socialdrama group psychological counseling on the improvement of psychological elasticity and the prevention of job burnout of front-line medical workers in the fight against epidemic diseases, school level project of Chongqing Medical University, CQMUNCP0307.

Effects of Group Psychological Counseling on Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) Behaviors of College Students with Depression.

The depression of college students requires psychological intervention based on clinical drug treatment. Group psychological counseling is an effective psychological intervention. This study aims to explore the effect of group psychological counseling on negative emotions and Nonsuicidal Self-injury (NSSI) behaviors of college students with depression. A total of 84 students with depression by screening diagnosis at Qingdao University in March 2018 were divided into the control group (n=42) and the intervention group (n=42). Students in the control group only received drug therapy, whereas the intervention group underwent group psychological counseling intervention based on drug therapy. A comparison between depression, self-injury behaviors, and sense of life purpose of the two groups before and after the intervention was performed. The post-test Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) standard score of students in both groups was significantly lower than the pre-test SDS standard score (P<0.05). The SDS standard scores of the post-test and the trace test in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the pre-test value, the total scores in the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) of the post-test in both groups significantly increased. The intervention group received significantly higher scores in the MLQ of the post-test and trace test compared with the control group (P<0.05). Both groups also received significantly higher scores in the post-test in the Quality System Audit (QSA) compared with the pre-test (P<0.05). The intervention group also received higher scores on the post-test and trace test in some dimensions in the QSA compared with those of the control group (P<0.05). Group psychological counseling intervention for college students with depression can alleviate their depressive symptoms, improve their sense of life meaning, reduce the risk of suicide, and control their NSSI behaviors.

Effect of Narrative Therapy-Based Group Psychological Counseling on Internet Addiction among Adolescents

There are a large number of psychological problems caused by Internet addiction. We aimed to explore the intervention effect of narrative therapy in combination with Pilates exercise on Internet addiction among adolescents. From July 2021 to October 2021, 42 adolescents with Internet addiction selected from four communities in Yiyang City of China were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups with 21 members in each group. The intervention group participated in the intervention of narrative therapy in combination with Pilates exercise eight times, whereas the control group did not receive any intervention. The 12-item General Health Questionnaire, Self-rating Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire of Internet Addiction, and Positive Affect Subscale were used to measure the psychological indexes of the adolescents before and after the intervention. Compared with those in the control group, the adolescents in the intervention group had an obvious decrease in the degree of Internet addiction with a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention (P < 0.001). After the intervention, the intervention group had significantly higher mental health scores and significantly lower scores for anxiety, depression, social dysfunction, and loss of interest than the control group. After the intervention, the intervention group showed an obvious increase in the score for positive affect with a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention (P < 0.001). The intervention method proposed in this study could effectively solve the problem of Internet addiction among adolescents.
