Students may experience many psychological problems due to academic pressure and family environment, while teachers may also experience mood disorders due to work pressure and low income. The conventional psychological counseling methods have had limited effectiveness, so the study aims to introduce applied psychology into human resource management in vocational colleges in order to improve human resource management to provide counseling for students, teachers, and patients with mood disorders.

Sixty-six faculty and student patients with dysphoria in a higher-level institution were taken as objects of study, and the two sets of prisoners were categorized into Group E and Group F. Among them, Group E adopts the traditional approach to humanity administration in higher vocational colleges, and Group F adopts the approach to humanity administration in higher vocational colleges that integrates applied psychology. The experiment lasted for six months and quantified the mental status of teachers and students using the Yang Mania Scale and the Concise Psychiatric Scale. After the experiment, statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0.

After the experiment, the manic score of Group F was 8.00 ± 2.51 points, and the psychiatric symptom score was 15 ± 1.11 points, both lower than Group E and before the experiment.

The introduction of applied psychology in human resource management in vocational colleges has an effective effect on guiding students and patients with mood disorders.
