Involvement Affects the Subjective Well-being of College Students Literature Review

Abstract

With the intensification of social competition, the phenomenon of involution has become increasingly common among college students, which has a profound impact on the psychological health and subjective well-being of individuals. The purpose of this paper is to explore the main mechanisms by which involution affects college students' subjective well-being, as well as to actively propose improvement suggestions for the problem. Through a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature, this study reveals how the phenomenon of involution affects college students' sense of well-being through increased stress and anxiety, social comparison and self-denial, lack of satisfaction of individual psychological needs, social support, and interpersonal relationships; and it also suggests that college students' subjective well-being can be effectively enhanced by strengthening mental health education and improving lifestyles.
