A Study On The Relationship Between Flow Experience And Mental Health Of College Students

Flow experience refers to the positive psychological experience that people get when they devote themselves to an activity under the premise of challenge skill balance.College students are in the critical stage of maturity and stability,and the risk of psychological problems is increasing with the increase of social pressure.It is very important to study the relationship between the smooth experience and mental health of college students,find new measures and new measures to improve their mental health,and expand the research results of mental health theory.Through the methods of literature,psychological test,logical analysis,interview and mathematical statistics,this study analyzes the differences of flow experience and mental health level of college students of different genders,majors,sports events and sports habits,and analyzes the relationship between flow experience and mental health of college students.In this study,800 college students in Yantai University were selected for the study,and the basic situation questionnaire,the college students' flow experience scale and the symptom self-assessment scale were issued.The data collected were statistically analyzed by independent sample t-test,one-way ANOVA,Pearson correlation analysis,multiple stepwise regression analysis,etc.the statistical results were analyzed It was found that:(1)Ordinary college students can get smooth experience in physical exercise.The research shows that there are significant differences in flow experience between different genders of college students,and the male college students have a higher sense of flow experience than the female students.There is no significant difference in flow experience among college students of different majors,but overall,the score of flow experience of sports major is slightly higher than that of other majors.The flow experience of college students participating in different sports is different.College students who often participate in physical exercise have a higher sense of flow experience than those who do not often participate in physical exercise.(2)The mental health level of college students participating in physical exercise is relatively good.Compared with the national norm,the college students who takepart in physical exercise have lower scores and better mental health.The research shows that there is no significant difference in the overall level of mental health among college students of different genders and majors,but sports majors are better than other majors in the dimension of "interpersonal sensitivity".There is no difference in college students' participation in different sports.The mental health level of college students who often participate in physical exercise is significantly better than that of college students who do not often participate in physical exercise.(3)There is a significant correlation between flow experience and mental health of college students.According to the regression analysis,the flow experience can predict the mental health of college students.The flow experience dimension can predict the two dimensions of mental health: "somatization" and "sleep and diet".The flow experience "challenge skill balance" can predict the dimension of mental health "interpersonal sensitivity",and the flow experience "sense of control" ”It can predict the "anxiety" dimension of mental health,the "focus on the current task" of flow experience can predict the "hostility" dimension of mental health,the "clear goal" of flow experience can predict the "paranoid dimension" of mental health,and the "challenge skill balance" and "clear goal" of flow experience can predict the overall level of mental health Use.
