As high-level professionals, graduate students are the "main force" in technological innovation and knowledge creation. The cultivation of their collectivist values is crucial for social development and technological progress. The unique attributes of the graduate student population lead to unique contradictions and dynamics in the development of their collectivist values. Firstly, it is essential to guide graduate students to align with the principle of prioritizing collective interests. Secondly, it is important to encourage rational thinking and knowledge among graduate student groups while also stimulating their emotional intuition and perceptual knowledge. Thirdly, efforts should be made to establish a structural atmosphere of "horizontal collectivism" to balance the emphasis on group collaboration with the individuality that graduate students often value.
