Background

With the rapid development of society, the learning anxiety of college students is gradually increasing. Law education emphasizes rational thinking and behavioral norms, enabling college students to establish a correct outlook on life. Therefore, law education should be an important part of psychological health interventions for college students.

Subjects and Methods

The study selected 120 students with learning anxiety and randomly divided them into two groups. One group is a blank group, which only uses traditional legal education. The other group is the experimental group, which adopts an educational approach that combines psychology and law to reform. The experimental period lasted for one semester, and the course arrangements of the two groups were consistent. Before and after the experiment, a questionnaire survey was conducted using the Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Based on the experimental results, the psychological relief of anxiety in the two groups was analyzed.

Results

The number of students in the blank group who had mild, moderate, or severe learning anxiety before the experiment began was 64, 53, and 3, respectively. In the experimental group, there were 62, 54, and 4 students who had mild, moderate, and severe cases of learning anxiety, respectively. After the test, there were 71, 47, and 2 students in the control group who had mild, moderate, or severe learning anxiety, respectively. In the experimental group, there were 81, 27, and 0 students who did not have learning anxiety, respectively. The number of students with mild to severe learning anxiety increased.

Conclusions

The integration of psychological reform in law teaching can effectively alleviate the learning anxiety of college students.
