Unlike traditional textbooks that start with theoretical concepts, this book begins with the latest news events or surveys. For example, in the chapter "Cultivating and Shaping Good Personality," it starts with the story of (Astronaut Yang Liwei); in the chapter "Sex Psychology and Sexual Health," it begins with the content of the recently published "Dripping Roses—A Survey on the Sexual Status of Chinese College Students" in January of this year. Unlike all psychological counselors who avoid disclosing measurement scales, this book includes a variety of psychological scales, such as the Learning Habits Questionnaire, the Activity Competence Questionnaire, the Psychological Adaptability Test, and the Self-Rating Scale for Psychological Symptoms. Students not only gain relevant psychological knowledge from the book but can also assess their mental state at any time through self-evaluation.
