The increasing pressure of social competition has gradually increased the pressure on the college student community. The psychological problems of college students have become increasingly prominent, even becoming an important factor affecting campus stability in some universities. Although traditional treatment methods are effective in alleviating psychological disorders in college students, long-term treatment has developed drug resistance or reduced treatment effectiveness. Therefore, the study aims to alleviate the psychological barriers of college students by introducing ideological and political education from the perspective of educational psychology.

A total of 52 college students with psychological disorders were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into H and I groups. Group H adopted traditional treatment methods, while Group I introduced ideological and political education on this basis. The experiment lasted for one year, and after the experiment, independent t-tests were conducted on the samples using SPSS 20.0 and data analysis was conducted on the samples.

After the experiment, the somatization score of Group I was 1.30 ± 0.45 points, the interpersonal sensitivity score was 1.56 ± 0.51 points, the paranoid score was 1.44 ± 0.48 points, the mental parallelism score was 1.49 ± 0.61 points, and the terror score was 1.40 ± 0.35 points, all lower than those of Group H and before the experiment.

From the perspective of educational psychology, ideological and political education can effectively alleviate psychological barriers for college students.
