Abstract

In recent years, tragedies of college graduate students caused by psychological issues have occurred frequently. This paper mainly studies the effect of positive psychology on improving psychological resilience of postgraduates and enhancing their psychological well-being. Objective: It aims to explore the effect of positive psychology education on improving psychological resilience of postgraduates. Methods: 104 postgraduates of a university in Guangdong province were investigated by questionnaire. Psychological resilience scale, Campbell well-being index scale and adolescent life events scale were used to accomplish the test. Results: The results show that the psychological resilience of postgraduates after the course was significantly improved, and the differences in self-acceptance, emotional stability and problem solving before and after the course were statistically significant (P<0.05). Their happiness index after the course (12.48±0.27) was significantly higher than that before the course (10.96±0.34) (P<0.001). Students’ life events in interpersonal relationship and health adjustment after the course were significantly lower than those before the course (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that positive psychology can significantly improve postgraduates’ psychological resilience, happiness index and reduce the occurrence of life events.
