International Students Listening to Lecture		The Lecture

In Spring 16th, 2015, Professor Chao Qiuling from School of Public Administration in Xi’an Jiaotong University gave a speech named "Stress. Positive psychology. Happiness" in our school. The speech was hosted by Pro. Liu Cheng, the deputy dean of SCUT. More than 200 people, including the staff and students attended.

Professor Chao first pointed out the importance of action based on some psychological counseling cases, and talked about the method of stress dealing from three perspectives: causes of stress and signs of being under stress, positive and negative effects of stress, and positive psychology and happiness. As she said, environment, personality, changes of regular life, sickness, conflicts and setbacks can cause stress. Combining the results from biotic experiments, she told us about the influence of stress towards health and life, which can only be avoided by smile, happiness and helping others. That’s why we have to keep a positive mind and be full of hope. And then Pro. Chao shared her experiences in England when she was the Dean of Confucius Institute in University of Liverpool. Finally, she introduced some methods of attitude adjustment and encouraged everyone to act now.

Pro. Liu Cheng first thanked Pro. Chao’s help when he was in England in his conclusion. He pointed out that there would be a period of adjustment when an international student first came to China and communication with friends and family would help a lot when facing problems.
