Leveraging the school's academic strengths, this competition systematically showcased our students' innovative thinking and practical abilities through three sub-forums:Psychological Product Design, Real-World Problem Solving, and Psychological Science Popularization Short Videos.
Psychology Product Design Sub-Forum
In the Psychological Product Design sub-forum, six teams presented their research achievements, covering a diverse range of product designs, including AR-based cognitive compensation, gamified life education, career inclination analysis, and psychological health ecosystems. By integrating federated learning algorithms, affective computing, and big data prediction models, these projects established a comprehensive closed-loop framework encompassing risk identification, personalized intervention, and social support network building.These products leverage technological advancements to transform psychological principles into tangible and accessible services, reducing the‘sense of distance’traditionally associated with psychological counseling. At the same time, they allow more people to receive psychological support in a more natural and intuitive way.
Real-World Problem-Solving Sub-Forum
The Real-World Problem Solving sub-forum focused on the practical applications of psychology in society. Two teams addressed pressing social issues,intervention for young children's dependence on electronic devices and guidance for the social challenges faced by sexual minority groups. These studies not only hold significant societal value but also demonstrate how students apply psychological theories to real-world problem-solving, highlighting the crucial role of psychology in social services.
Psychological Science Short Video Sub-Forum
In the Psychological Science Popularization Short Videosub-forum, two teams explored topics in emotion management and interpersonal relationships. Using the concepts of the "Wild Horse Effect" and "Two-Faced Persona," they translated psychological theories on emotional dysregulation mechanisms and moral decision-making into engaging narratives. The videos featured well-structured content, blending Eastern wisdom from Xunzi’s philosophy in the Warring States period with modern experimental psychology findings, showcasing an interdisciplinary approach to psychological science.

The forum invited three esteemed faculty members as judges: Associate Professor Wang Chao, Head of the Department of Basic Psychology, along with Professor Peng Weiwei and Professor Xu Min from the Undergraduate Teaching Committee. The judges provided valuable feedback to the participating teams, emphasizing that real-world problem-solving solutions should clearly define their application scenarios, product design proposals should highlight uniqueness and effectiveness, and psychological science popularization videos should focus on three key aspects: scientific accuracy, accessibility, and readability. These insights not only offered students directions for improvement but also guided their future research and practical applications.
The successful hosting of this forum not only showcased the achievements of undergraduate psychology students in innovation and entrepreneurship but also provided a valuable learning opportunity.
