Assessing Awareness of College Student Startup Entrepreneurs Toward Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation From the Perspective of Educational Psychology.

ABSTRACT: Against the background of economic globalization, the awareness of college student startup entrepreneurs toward mass entrepreneurship and innovation is analyzed from the perspective of educational psychology, thus responding to national development strategies. First, the status quo of innovation and entrepreneurship education is understood by literature analysis. Second, the existing innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities is investigated with a questionnaire survey (QS) and interviews to discover the challenges that college students face during innovation and entrepreneurship. The QS results provide a data basis for subsequent strategies. The results demonstrate that 19.86% of the students have a complete understanding of innovation and entrepreneurship, while only 9.93% of the students are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship activities. The technical significance of innovation and entrepreneurship activities only accounts for 41.84%. Moreover, the vast majority of students (79.67%) believe that the curriculum of innovation and entrepreneurship education is single, simple, and irrelevant to their majors. Meanwhile, some problems have been found: for example, the teaching faculty is insufficient, and there is not a sound entrepreneurial atmosphere. As per the survey results, an innovation and entrepreneurship education strategy for core stakeholders, namely, universities, society, government, university teachers, and students, is formulated to promote the sound development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Besides, a training strategy in line with the awareness of college students toward mass entrepreneurship and innovation is formulated based on the current situation of innovation and entrepreneurship education, which can serve as a reference and has practical significance for enriching and perfecting the innovation and entrepreneurship education system for college students.

Project description:BackgroundIn the context of rising healthcare costs, formal education on treatment-related financial hardship is lacking in many medical schools, leaving future physicians undereducated and unprepared to engage in high-value care.MethodWe performed a prospective cohort study to characterize medical student knowledge regarding treatment-related financial hardship from 2019 to 2020 and 2020-2021, with the latter cohort receiving a targeted educational intervention to increase cost awareness. Using Kirkpatrick's four-level training evaluation model, survey data was analyzed to characterize the acceptability of the intervention and the impact of the intervention on student knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported preparedness to engage in cost-conscious care.ResultsOverall, N = 142 medical students completed the study survey; 61 (47.3%) in the non-intervention arm and 81 (66.4%) in the intervention arm. Of the 81 who completed the baseline survey in the intervention arm, 65 (80.2%) completed the immediate post-intervention survey and 39 (48.1%) completed the two-month post-intervention survey. Following the educational intervention, students reported a significantly increased understanding of common financial terms, access to cost-related resources, and level of comfort and preparedness in engaging in discussions around cost compared to their pre-intervention responses. The majority of participants (97.4%) reported that they would recommend the intervention to future students. A greater proportion of financially stressed students reported considering patient costs when making treatment decisions compared to their non-financially stressed peers.ConclusionsTargeted educational interventions to increase cost awareness have the potential to improve both medical student knowledge and preparedness to engage in cost-conscious care. Student financial stress may impact high-value care practices. Robust curricula on high-value care, including treatment-related financial hardship, should be formalized and universal within medical school training.

Project description:To diversify the creative thinking of preschool education students and improve their ability to innovate and start a business, a survey of preschool education students under entrepreneurial psychology theory was conducted in this research. Based on the theoretical foundation of entrepreneurial psychology, this article analyzed the entrepreneurial psychological quality and psychological education of college students. By investigating preschool education students in a certain college in Sichuan as the research object, the author explored the current entrepreneurial intentions of college students and their entrepreneurial psychological problems. In response to the current entrepreneurial situation of college graduates, relevant countermeasures were proposed from the perspective of the school to support their entrepreneurial psychology. Among the 205 preschool education college students, the students were more willing to give full play to their professional expertise in terms of employment intentions. At the same time, there were still situations in which students were dissatisfied with the prospects of preschool education career development and wanted to achieve the value of life through other approaches. Most students in preschool education had a wait-and-see attitude toward entrepreneurship. Only 35% of students had a clear intention to start a business and made their plans for entrepreneurship. More than 90% of students held that they had developed inadequate entrepreneurial ability, and 80% of students believed that they lacked the required professional knowledge. These two factors constitute the main reasons for students' negative attitudes toward entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, colleges may stimulate the potential of students' self-development through the improvement of entrepreneurial psychological education courses, the construction of psychological consultation institutions on campus, and the establishment of interactive platforms for entrepreneurship. In this way, students' entrepreneurial psychology can be cultivated in an all-round way. Therefore, to deal with the weak overall entrepreneurial consciousness of college students, the colleges should cultivate entrepreneurial innovative talents by strengthening the psychological education of entrepreneurship for students, and help college students achieve entrepreneurial success.

Project description:Trade friction has always been a prominent feature in the current economic development of the world. Its impacts on multinational enterprises are self-evident, but its psychological effects on the multinational entrepreneurs are still unclear. In order to understand the impacts of trade friction on psychological effects of multinational legal service entrepreneurs, 305 multinational entrepreneurs were selected in this study for questionnaire survey, and Spearman's correlation and regression models were used to analyze the correlation among economic pressure, the thought of recession, self-efficacy, and social support. The structural equation model was used to analyze the influence path of economic pressure and social support on the thought of entrepreneurial recession, as well as the influence path of multinational entrepreneurship orientation and value-chain potential on the international performance. The results show that economic pressure is significantly and positively correlated with the thought of recession and self-efficacy extremely and significantly and negatively correlated with objective support and support utilization extremely; social support will reverse the thought of entrepreneurial recession caused by the economic pressure; the indirect impact path coefficient of social support utilization in economic pressure and entrepreneurial recession is - 0.281; the indirect impact path coefficient of value-chain potential in multinational entrepreneurial motivation and international performance is - 0.424. It shows that trade friction will indirectly trigger the thought of entrepreneurial recession of entrepreneurs by reducing their economic incomes. Besides, the social support utilization can significantly regulate the relationship between the economic pressure and the thought of entrepreneurial recession. Therefore, the value-chain potential plays an intermediary role in multinational entrepreneurial motivation and international performance.

Project description:BackgroundPromoting college students' mental health remains a significant concern, necessitating a clear understanding of what constitutes good mental health. Variations in the conceptualizations of mental health across cultures, typically derived from academic and authoritative perspectives, have overlooked insights from laypeople. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of mentally healthy college students within Chinese cultural contexts, emphasizing perspectives provided by college students themselves.MethodsUndergraduates with self-reported mental health scores ≥ 7 were randomly selected for in-depth interviews. The sample (N = 17, 59% female) had a mean age of 20.82 ± 1.33 years and represented diverse regions, backgrounds, and academic fields. Thematic analysis was used in the analysis of the qualitative data, involving initial coding to identify 168 manifestations of mental health among college students, followed by categorizing them into 18 characteristics through focused coding. These characteristics were then organized into five themes via core coding. The Delphi method was utilized to validate the themes with 3 experts, ensuring the trustworthiness of the final findings.ResultsEighteen characteristics of mentally healthy college students emerged from the interviews, categorized into 5 themes: (1)Value Pursuit (i.e. Having a sense of responsibility and mission and being willing to dedicate oneself to the country at any time.); (2)Life Attitude (i.e. Staying positive and having the ability and quality to cope with hardships.); (3)Interpersonal Ideals (i.e., Showing filial respect to parents appropriately.); (4)Behavior Ability(i.e., Studying diligently and learning well.); and (5)Self-cultivation (i.e., Possessing good qualities advocated by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism coexist harmoniously.). Most of these characteristics directly reflect traditional Chinese culture or culture that has changed with the times. At the same time, some are a reflection of modern Chinese new culture.ConclusionsOn the whole, the characteristics of mentally healthy college students are diverse and with rich connotations, focusing on the individual's relationship with the country, family, and others, and are good expressions of Chinese cultural features, such as the balance of Yin and Yang, the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and highlight moral attributes. In essence, these traits hold profound importance in advancing the mental health of Chinese college students.
