Background

In modern society, the self media era brought by the rapid development of the Internet provides a new way for the construction of the psychological environment of patriotism education, which is widely favored by psychological researchers. At the same time, due to its regularity, universality and flexibility, as well as the in-depth development of globalization, the psychological environment construction of patriotism education has become more complex, changeable and difficult to control, which is particularly obvious in the positions and views of specific cases based on the cultural differences between China and the West. The primary problem of constructing the psychological environment of patriotism education is to find out the differences between Chinese and Western patriotism education and further explore the feasible ways to construct the psychological environment of patriotism education. How to carry out patriotism education in the context of globalization will become useful from the perspective of emotional and behavioral changes.

Research Objects and Methods

Using the method of literature research and taking western patriotism education as the comparative object, this study makes a multi-dimensional and multi-dimensional comparative study on the characteristics of Chinese patriotism education, including the importance, main contents, development scope, cultural background, methods and approaches of patriotism education, as well as the main psychological concepts, and analyzes the similarities and differences between Chinese and Western patriotism education. This paper also uses Hill &amp; bale's mental health locus of control scale. MHLC measures people's evaluation of the treatment effect from two poles. One pole reflects the patient's view of being responsible for the curative effect, that is, internal control, and the other pole reflects the role of the healer, that is, external control. MHLC is a self-assessment scale with 22 items and 6 insertion questions (no score). The original version included 61 items, which were tested in college students and simplified into the current scale through statistical processing. The scale is scored on a 6-point scale. 6 points represent the most external control and 1 point represents extreme internal control. In this way, the score range of the scale is between 22 (extreme internal control) and 132 (extreme external control).

Results

the analysis shows that there are similarities between China and the West in patriotism education, which is mainly reflected in that both sides attach great importance to education and put education in the forefront of civic education. Civic education widely runs through the life of citizens. This difference is mainly reflected in the differences in the setting of mainstream values and basic contents caused by cultural background, which leads to great differences in the importance of civic thought and educational methods. Therefore, the psychological concepts of Chinese and Western patriotic education show great differences in practice, mainly in the conflict of three psychological concepts: collectivism and individualism, national unity and enterprising priority, explicit education and implicit education. The results also show that emotional coping plays a mediating role and psychological elasticity plays a regulatory role. The mediating effect of life events on anxiety through emotional coping is regulated by psychological elasticity. That is, the higher the psychological elasticity, adjust the impact of life events on anxiety through coping style, so as to reduce anxiety; On the contrary, the lower the level of psychological elasticity, adjust the impact of life events on anxiety through coping style, and increase its impact.

Conclusion

In the face of such complex differences and conflicts, according to the characteristics of the we media era, we must create a psychological environment for patriotism education according to the national history and culture and the current problems to be solved. Therefore, we must effectively deal with all kinds of new problems and challenges brought by the complex and changeable national network environment. Exploring this path from three aspects has important theoretical reference significance for constructing the psychological environment of patriotism education: paying attention to the construction of network patriotism platform, innovating the content and activities of patriotism education in the era of self media, and strengthening the guidance of public opinion on the network platform of self media. The results of this study are committed to thinking about the construction of the psychological environment of patriotism education in the era of we media from a comparative perspective, emphasizing the importance of its construction, and improving its construction efficiency through more empirical research. Strengthen active patriotic education, carry out targeted patriotic education, correctly guide patriotism and guide them to carry out relevant activities according to their own advantages and characteristics.
