Research on the Collaborative Construction of Happiness View Education and Psychological Counseling for High-level Athletes in Private Colleges and Universities—From the Perspective of Positive Psychology

Abstract

As a special group under the dual-track training model of “sports competition + higher education”, high-level athletes in private colleges and universities face dual pressures from professional training and cultural learning, as well as multiple psychological distress such as competition gains and losses, career planning, and identity recognition. The shaping of their happiness view and the development of mental health are directly related to the quality of talent training. Positive psychology, with its core of “exploring individual strengths, cultivating positive qualities, and enhancing subjective well-being”, provides a new perspective to solve the problems of disconnection and insufficient effectiveness in happiness view education and psychological counseling for high-level athletes in private colleges and universities. Based on positive psychology theory, this paper analyzes the collaborative value and practical dilemmas of happiness view education and psychological counseling for high-level athletes in private colleges and universities, explores the path of their collaborative construction, realizes the organic integration of “heart cultivation” and “moral education”, helps high-level athletes in private colleges and universities establish a scientific happiness view, improve psychological resilience, and grow into compound sports talents with competitive strength, sound personality and the ability to perceive happiness.
