Study On Psychological Pressure Problems Of The Freshmen

Entering to university from high school, the campus’s environment、 interpersonal environment and teaching methods the freshmen confronted with are largely different. Moreover, their learning objectives、learning contents and learning methods have changed as well. If freshmen wouldn’t be adapt to those changes, there will be many psychological and mental problems of freshmen, it would lead to bad effects towards the quality of entire university life. In addition, under the influence of financial crisis, the employment condition is tougher and the competition is fiercer, which bring heavy burden on freshmen. Although the psychological and mental problems of freshmen are tough and become more serious, but the present study are not enough and they always focus on the whole group of university students, but my paper focuses on the freshmen’s psychological and mental problems, to some extent, the freshmen is a special group. It’s significant to investigate the psychological condition of them and educate them the efficient measures to cope with the mental problems. Thus freshmen could be better to adapt to the university life.This research is based on existing relevant research result. And through interviewing and communicating with freshmen after classes, I realized that the freshmen have pressure problems on study、interpersonal relationship、future、 economy and daily life. Due to the limitation of scope of knowledge and ability, my study is focus on freshmen’s academic pressure、interpersonal relationship pressure and development pressure. The study employed empirical analysis method and based on Cognitive Phenomenon Interaction Theory of psychological pressure. Meanwhile, the study referred to the "College Students Stress Scale" of Li Hong, then made the questionnaire "Pressure Source Questionnaire" of freshmen. And I took Chinese Jiliang University、Zhejiang College of Finance and Economics、University of Science and Technology as survey samples. The results show that:(1) The academic pressure level of freshmen is high; especially the examination and competition bring much pressure to freshmen. (2) The freshmen fell high pressure from interpersonal relationship, it’s hard for them to get along with roommates、teachers and heterosexual friends. They lack rational cognition of interpersonal relationship、ego and other people. And they lack communication skills. In their minds, the interpersonal relationship of university is indifferent.(3) The development pressure level of freshmen is high, it attributes to their lack of enough understanding of majors and employment. And pay little attention to career planning. As a result, they feel depressed and confused for future.Based on the above survey, I put forward the countermeasures which could help freshmen relieve their pressures. To deal with academic pressure, freshmen should shift roles from high school students to University students, and realize the traits of university learning and teaching, learn to manage study time properly; To deal with interpersonal relationship pressure, we should manage to obtain social support by building a good relationship with other people; To deal with future development pressure, freshmen should learn to make study plan and career plan.
