2019 Gallup Global Emotions Report shows that worry and sadness across the world have reached record high (source: official website of Gallup, http://www.gallup.com). In 2018, Gallup asked adults in 142 countries if they had five different negative experiences on the day before the survey. More than one in three people said they experienced a lot of worry (39%) or stress (35%), and three in 10 experienced a lot of physical pain (31%). At least one in five experienced sadness (24%) or anger (22%). While overall stress levels dropped two percentage points from the previous year, anger increased by two points—hitting a new high. Worry and sadness, which were already at record levels, increased by one point from the previous year. According to the Blue Book of Mental Health: China National Mental Health Development Report(2017–2018), Chinese people with rural household registration had “relatively poor” mental health than people with nonrural household registration, which has not changed much in four years. Mental health or emotional problems are becoming the main factors affecting people’s quality of life. As per WHO, mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community (source: official website of WHO, http://www.who.int). Scholars have tackled this topic from different perspectives. Tang et al. believe that emotional adjusting self-efficacy is closely related to mental health [1]. *ey also quoted [1] stating that experiencing positive mood can enhance cognition, alleviate negative mood, and help people easily gain adaptive coping and active social interaction experience. *e American psychologist Maslow believes one of the criteria of mental health is the proper emotional expression and control (the American psychologist Maslow put forward the 10 criteria judging the mental health: sufficient sense of safety; sufficient self-comprehension and proper evaluation of one’s own ability; realistic life target; in touch with the real environment; maintaining personal integrity and harmony; ability to learn from the experience; sound interpersonal relations; proper emotional expression and control; exert limited individualism while not violating the team requirements; and ability to meet personal basic needs while not violating the social norms).
