Abstract

In recent years, the number of graduate students in China has been increasing steadily. Along with changes in the economic and employment environment, graduate students face growing psychological health challenges. This study aims to explore the psychological health challenges at the graduate stage from the perspective of positive psychology. The research reveals that psychological health issues during the graduate stage are universal, primarily manifested as academic pressure, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationship problems. From the standpoint of positive psychology, this paper analyzes the potential of positive factors such as positive emotions, self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and social support in enhancing graduate students' psychological health. However, the study also points out challenges and limitations, including individual differences, cultural disparities, and academic pressures. Future research and practices should focus more on cultural adaptability, long-term effects, individual differences, and interdisciplinary research to better address graduate students' psychological health challenges and improve their overall quality of life.
