Digital Pathways for Psychological Health Education in Chinese Universities: A Case Study of Finance and Economics Institutions

Psychological health education in Chinese universities currently faces numerous challenges, such as singular and closed educational concepts, inadequacies in faculty development, and the limitations of current educational platforms. To address these issues, the integration of digital pathways—rooted in Self-Determination Theory—offers a new direction for transforming psychological health education in universities. Using finance and economics universities as examples, this paper explores how digital solutions can foster innovation in psychological health education, meet the diverse psychological needs of students, and promote their holistic development.
