Social anxiety disorder is a common psychological problem in college students, affecting their social function and quality of life. The current therapeutic methods mainly include psychotherapy and drug therapy, which have some limitations while obtaining certain curative effects.
A total of 200 college students diagnosed with social anxiety disorder were selected and assessed by the Stanford Acute Stress Response Questionnaire and 3-minute Disorder Assessment Scale. SPSS 23.0 was used for data analysis.
The results showed that the social anxiety symptoms were significantly reduced in the college students who received the new concept of legal education-assisted therapy. Before treatment, participants’ social anxiety scores averaged 6.2 (s=1.4), which dropped to 3.8 (s=1.2) after treatment. Similarly, scores of anxiety levels were significantly lower, with average scores of 24.6 (s=3.7) before treatment and 14.2 (s=2.8) after treatment. In addition, the participants’ social functioning improved significantly. Before treatment, participants reported social functioning scores of 55.8 (s=6.2) on average, which improved to 78.4 (s=5.1) after treatment. This indicates that the new concept of legal education has a significant promoting effect on improving college students’ social ability and mental health.
It is found that the new concept of legal education plays an important auxiliary role in the treatment of college students’ social anxiety disorder. It improves the mental health and social ability of college students by reducing anxiety and improving social function.
