Methods:We developed an integrative method co nsisted of Cognit ive adjustment-Emotional control-Behavioral change for group training on se lf-confidence of college students.Using the Self-confidence Scale and the SCL- 90,a sample of 16 college students were tested.SPSS was used for data analysis. Results:Afte r a 5-week training program, self-confi dence and mental health of the intervention group differed significantly from th e non-intervention group.Conclus ion:1.The integrative training method represents an effective model for promoting college students’ self-confidence level;2.Self-confidence traini ng constitutes an important component for improving mental health; 3.The mental health of college s tudents is significantly influenced by their self-confidence especially their so cial confidence and psychological confidence.展开更多

Methods: Both HCs and the patient were assessed by means of the following measures: Penn Emotion Perception Battery (ER40, EmoDiff40, PEAT40, PFMT), Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test, and Toronto Alexithymia Scale alongside clinical scales (Mini Mental State Examination, The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Hamilton Depression Scale). The SCT was delivered individually for 60 minutes weekly in a 12-week program (12 sessions). The subject participated twice in a fMRI scanning session including the event-related task of implicit processing of 100% fearful expressions to detect physiological changes after TAU plus SCT and compared them with HCS who underwent the same assessment once. Results: Compared with HCs, the patient before therapy revealed lower scores in emotion recognition;particularly perception of anger was affected alongside worse performance on both emotion discrimination and acuity tests. After therapy, B.D. showed improvement in emotional processing. B.D. had less post-therapy activation maps compared with pretherapy ones and more significantly activated pre-and post-central gyrus and right cerebellum in response to fearful faces. Interestingly, no amygdala was significantly activated as the response to fearful stimuli before or after therapy was completed. Conclusions: Further research was needed to increase understanding about efficacy of SCT and the theory of neuroplasticity, thus helping rehabilitation programs.展开更多
