The talents should qualified with strong professional ability as well as good psychological quality to adapt to the growing challenges, College students, a new generation of young people shouldering the historical mission and the important responsibility of the country, are under the great pressure from family, school and society. All of these will aggravate their negative psychological emotions with the formation of complicated personality, which not only go against the growth of young talent, but also drive hidden troubles to the stability and harmony of the social. Plunging into the students＇ life and deeply analyzing their psychological characteristics with timely manners of solving psychological problems will accelerate the ideological and political education and promote talents cultivation with more modem intellectuals for our country.展开更多
