Due to outdated work concepts and unscientific performance evaluations, the enthusiasm of university faculty members is not high, and some faculty members experience work anxiety, which affects the normal operation of work. The traditional human resource management system can no longer meet the needs of human resource management in universities and needs to be optimized. In order to stimulate the work enthusiasm of faculty and alleviate their psychological anxiety, research is being conducted to optimize the human resource management system in universities.
Subjects and Methods
The study selected 60 employees with work anxiety and divided them into a control group and an intervention group, with a total of 30 individuals. The former adopts a traditional human resource management system, while the latter adopts an optimized human resource management system with a duration of 6 months. Employees were evaluated using indicators such as the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and SPSS23.0 software was used for data processing.
Results
After 6 months, there was a significant difference in work psychological anxiety between the two groups of teaching staff. Compared with the control group, the HAMA score of the intervention group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01).
Conclusions
It needs to optimize the human resource management system in universities, improve performance evaluation methods, stimulate the enthusiasm of faculty, and ensure that their efforts are treated fairly, then resulting in a significant improvement in their work anxiety.
In today’s fast-paced, technology-oriented business environment, anxiety among young people arising from work-related stress is a growing concern. The use of computer information processing techniques has been identified as a potential intermediary in alleviating this anxiety. Computer information processing technique has a potential mediating role in alleviating young people’s work stress and anxiety, but comprehensive intervention is still needed to integrate other factors to improve their mental health and professional life quality.
Subjects and Methods
The study involved a population of young workers exhibiting anxiety symptoms due to work-related stress. The Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQ) and the 3-min Confusion Assessment Scale (3D-CAM) were utilized to measure participants’ stress and anxiety levels pre-and-post intervention. The intervention involved the implementation of computer information processing techniques in their work routine. The outcomes were statistically analyzed using SPSS 23.0.
Results
After the application of computer information processing techniques, a significant reduction in SASRQ and 3D-CAM scores was observed, indicating decreased levels of work stress anxiety among the population. In addition, as a result of being able to manage tasks more efficiently, participants reported increased job satisfaction and improved work-life balance.

Educational environments are evolving, recognizing that language acquisition extends beyond the science of linguistics and spans broader dimensions of sociocultural understanding. In the realm of German language education, there exists a marked effect of cultural factors on teaching strategies and student performance, which in turn influences cross-cultural anxiety. This study investigates the integration of cultural factors into the curriculum and pedagogy to alleviate cross-cultural anxiety, thus fostering a more conducive learning landscape for German language students.
Subjects and Methods
The study incorporated a mixed-subjects design involving both students and teachers of German language courses across various educational institutions. These participants were selected based on their exposure to German language learning environments. The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and the Sociocultural Adaptability Scale were employed as the primary data collection tools. These standardized scales served to quantify the perceived levels of cross-cultural anxiety and the extent of cultural factor integration in the pedagogy. The collected data was rigorously analyzed using the statistical software, SPSS23.0.
Results
The analysis of the collected data showed a compelling pattern. There was a significant correlation between the extent of cultural factor integration in teaching methodologies and the levels of cross-cultural anxiety among the students. As the implementation of culturally integrative teaching strategies increased, the foreign language anxiety experienced by learners decreased accordingly. This observational pattern was consistent across the various educational institutions involved in the study.
Conclusions
The research validates the import of cultural integration in alleviating cross-cultural anxiety. Incorporating such strategies could potentially enhance the efficacy of German language teaching.

Data analysis was conducted using SPSS23.0 software.
Results
The results indicated significant reductions in anxiety levels within the intervention group compared to the control group (P< 0.05). Furthermore, cognitive functioning, as assessed by the 3D-CAM, showed significant improvement in the intervention group (P< 0.05). Participants in the intervention group reported increased self-confidence, improved social skills, and decreased social anxiety symptoms.
Conclusions
The psychosocial therapy model based on the news media context demonstrated positive effects in the treatment of social anxiety disorder among adolescents. The findings suggest that incorporating news media scenarios into therapy can enhance the overall treatment outcomes, including anxiety reduction and cognitive improvement. This integrated approach has the potential to positively impact adolescents’ social functioning and emotional well-being. Further research is warranted to validate and expand upon these findings.
The prevalence and impact of depression among college students have become an important issue requiring innovative interventions. To address this challenge, this paper proposes an interactive teaching model for tourism management degrees as a strategy to alleviate depression among students. This interactive teaching model provides an active, engaging and meaningful learning experience. This model aims to help students reduce symptoms of depression through the design and implementation of the Tourism Management degree programmer.
Subjects and Methods
The non-randomized controlled study involved students enrolled in Tourism Management courses, selected based on the criteria of demonstrated depressive symptoms. Depression levels were measured using the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire (SASRQ) and the 3-min Confusion Assessment Scale (3D-CAM). The acquired data were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 statistical package.
Results
Students exposed to the interactive teaching mode showed a significant decrease in SASRQ and 3D-CAM scores, and there was a significant difference in score changes compared to students who received the traditional teaching mode (P<0.05). It is worth noting that the interactive teaching group has a higher level of classroom participation and subjective well-being.
Conclusions
The use of interactive teaching models in Tourism Management courses demonstrates promising effectiveness in alleviating student depression. This innovative approach could be vital for mental health promotion in universities, potentially transforming educational pedagogy.
Schizophrenia is a concern among young people, including college students. This paper puts forward the positive impacts of computer network security education from a psychological perspective. By understanding young people’s cognitive, psychological factors and learning preferences, we can provide them with more effective and targeted network security education to help them establish good network security habits.

With the development of modern education, the psychological stress of young teachers in colleges and universities has been highly emphasized.
Subjects and Methods
The research will start from three aspects: performance management system, human resource planning, and teacher career management in the human resource management system of universities. In response to the psychological pressure of teachers, five universities will be selected to analyze and study the current situation of human resource management in universities through a combination of survey questionnaires and interviews. The existing problems and reasons will be analyzed. Based on the analysis results, effective optimization plans will be proposed for the human resource management system in universities.
Results
The results indicate that the main reasons for the psychological pressure of university teachers are the adherence to regulations in the human resource management system, the lack of quantitative accumulation of human resource data, and the neglect of teacher career management. Based on the analysis results, the study designed optimization plans from the aspects of human resource strategic planning system, salary and welfare management system, and teacher career management system. At the same time, the study also established relevant implementation guarantee measures based on the optimization plan to ensure the feasibility of the optimization plan for the human resource management system.
Conclusions
The study analyzes the relationship between human resource management system and teachers’ psychological pressure in colleges and universities, puts forward the optimization plan of the management system from three levels, and ensures the effective implementation of the optimization plan through the actual work, which is of certain practical reference significance.
