Influence of ideological and political education on improving the subjective well-being of college students

Abstract

The subjective well-being of college students is important to their growth and development. This paper aims to verify whether and how ideological and political (l&P) education promotes the subjective well-being of college students. First, the concept of the l&P education and the features of subjective well-being were introduced. Then, a survey was carried out in China Youth University of Political Studies to evaluate the current status of subjective well-being of college students. The results show that most college students are happy; among them, females, freshmen and liberal arts students are happier than their respective counterparts. Next, a comparative experiment was carried out among the respondents with the experimental group receiving the l&P education and the control group not receiving the l&P education. Through the analysis of the experimental results, it is concluded that the l&P education can effectively improve the subjective well-being of college students. The research results provide a good reference for the growth and development of college students.
