Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influencing factors of college students' frustration psychology during entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship competitions. Through literature analysis and in-depth interviews, interviews were conducted with 6 college students who participated in entrepreneurship competitions and 3 college students who started their own businesses. The results showed that individual resilience to setbacks, team cohesion, family and social support, and market demand were the most important influencing factors. Based on this, college students can alleviate the negative impact of entrepreneurial setbacks by improving their personal resilience to setbacks, communicating and collaborating more, assessing the situation and controlling the direction of market demand, and apply this approach to overcoming setbacks in life.
