A Study on the Correlation between College Students' Social Anxiety and Mental Health Education Intervention

Abstract

Social anxiety in college students can be caused by paying too much attention to threat cues, recursive reinforcement of negative self-perceptions and fear of evaluation, as well as a catalytic effect of social comparison. The three parts together form the structure of cognitive bias operation. Cognitive restructuring training will be added to the course of mental health education to correct maladaptive beliefs; an exposure hierarchy will be developed to reduce the extinction gradient of avoidance behaviour, and acceptance-and-commitment techniques will be employed to improve the conditional effectiveness of group interaction situations. It has also been noted that both the extent of social anxiety and the force of intervention vary. If a person does not know that they have not learned something, they will be less eager to ask for help, and if such help is offered too late, it will be difficult to solve the problem in time. Clarification of the three sets of correlative mechanisms will provide a theoretical basis for the development of stratified and time-sensitive intervention strategies.
