Abstract

This review examines the attitudes towards love, marriage, and relationship challenges among Chinese college students. It explores the cultural factors shaping these attitudes, the changes in attitudes across generations, and the challenges faced by students in their romantic relationships. The comment also discusses the implications for education programs in supporting Chinese college students in their pursuit of healthy and fulfilling relationships. The findings highlight the influence of traditional cultural values, the impact of globalization and individualism, and the role of technology in shaping attitudes and experiences. This comment suggests the need for relationship education, addressing gender roles, providing counseling and support services, and fostering a supportive campus culture. It also discusses effective interventions and programs, such as mindfulness-based interventions, positive psychology interventions, online relationship education programs, peer-led support groups, and relationship coaching. The limitations and gaps in the literature are acknowledged, calling for further research to explore the experiences and attitudes of diverse populations. Overall, understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by Chinese college students can contribute to their well-being and the development of healthy relationships.
