As the strong core of the student body, student leaders in colleges and universities originate from and represent students, and their unique centripetal and rallying power, cultivating positive psychological qualities of student leaders in colleges and universities is conducive to giving full play to the pioneering role of role models and infecting other students with their own personality and moral values, and teaching them by example. In the late 20th century, the American psychologist Martin Seligman founded the positive psychology, which emphasizes the positive perspective of psychology and believes that discovering and giving full play to human strengths and virtues is an important means to stimulate individual motivation and improve happiness. This reveals that in the management process of student leaders, we should change our perspective to investigate the current situation of positive psychological qualities of college students, and propose a targeted and reasonable cultivation path to promote the cultivation of creative talents with sound personality according to their abilities. In this study, by using the Positive Psychological Quality Scale for Chinese College Students developed by Chinese scholars, Prof. Meng Wanjin and Guan Qun, 303 student leaders of different majors were selected from the author's university to conduct a questionnaire survey, and 301 valid samples were obtained. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The overall positive psychological quality of student leaders was good, and the scores of all six dimensions were higher than the Chinese norm. The highest scores among the six dimensions of positive psychological quality were 3.80 for the interpersonal dimension and 3.80 for the transcendence dimension (both scores were the same), the last ranked mean score was 3.58 for the moderation dimension, and the scores of other dimensions were 3.64 for the awareness dimension, 3.79 for the emotion dimension, and 3.74 for the justice dimension, with an overall comprehensive mean score of 3.72. (2) The interpersonal dimension was significantly higher for male student leaders than for female student leaders, and there were no significant differences in other dimensions. (3)There were minor differences in the dimensions across grades among this group of student leaders surveyed, but none of them were significant.
