Among the student groups in China, high school students are the most special group. They are facing the college entrance examination, and their study pressure is the greatest. At the same time, they also bear the highest expectations of their parents. So, what kind of great pressure are they under to survive? On February 28th, 65438, China Youth Research Center released the Comparative Study on Life Consciousness of Senior High School Students in China, Japan, Korea and the United States, which made it possible for us to understand the living conditions of senior high school students in China under the background of diversity. "Getting into an ideal university" and "improving grades" are the biggest wishes of many domestic high school students.

A comparative study of life consciousness among senior high school students in China, China, South Korea and the United States shows that most Japanese senior high school students consider themselves happy. Although they are not as satisfied with themselves as American high school students, this has not affected their happiness. However, 82.7% of high school students in China think they are very happy and relatively happy, while 83.8% of high school students in the United States think they are almost the same. However, 77.4% of Japanese and 73.3% of Korean high school students reported their happiness. "High happiness is very important for the physical and mental development of high school students, which shows that they have a better quality of life." Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of China Youth Research Center, said: "I think this generation of senior high school students feel happy because the development and progress of China since the reform and opening up have enabled them to stand on the shoulders of giants, broaden their horizons and be full of hope for the future. This is very different from Japan. I have done research in Japan for more than ten years, and I have a deep understanding that many Japanese children feel hopeless. " A positive attitude towards life is another state of senior high school students in China. According to the survey, compared with senior high school students in other three countries, senior high school students in China are the least willing to lead a dull life. They have a relatively positive attitude towards life and a high desire for success. Only 4 1.2% of senior high school students in China think that "leading a normal life is enough", which is close to that of South Korea (48.4%) and far lower than that of the United States (7 1.7%) and Japan (66.3%). "Most high school students in China don't want to have enough money to live in. This may be related to their living background. China is in a period of rapid development, full of opportunities, competition and challenges. Such a big environment makes them look forward to their future life and brings them more confidence and hope. " Sun Hongyan, director of the Children's Research Institute of China Youth Research Center, explained. The research also shows that the proportion of high school students in these four countries who want to get higher education (bachelor's degree or above) in the future is very high, but the proportion of high school students in China is the highest, and they pay more attention to their studies. The proportion of high school students in China who agree that "as high school students, learning is the most important" is as high as 80.6%, while the proportion of high school students in South Korea, the United States and Japan who agree with this view is 50.9%, 50.5% and 46.2% respectively. High school students in China are also most concerned about their academic performance. "How to improve their academic performance" has become the most troublesome or annoying thing for senior high school students in China. Caring about grades is closely related to the wishes of senior high school students in China. Research shows that their first wish is to be admitted to an ideal university, and their second wish is to improve their grades. However, among American high school students, although "improving grades" ranks first, the second wish is to make good friends. In contrast, when interacting with peers, China high school students' criteria for choosing friends are "being able to express their opinions directly", "sharing interests", "being able to tell each other", "being able to rely on" and "caring", but "playing together" ranks first among American high school students' criteria for choosing friends, and "playing together" also appears in Japanese and Korean high school students' criteria for choosing friends. "In choosing friends, high school students in China pay more attention to the spiritual communication between friends, while high school students in other three countries prefer to have fun with their partners. Considering that some middle school students and even college students in China are addicted to the Internet, we can see that the life of students in China is rather monotonous. Although Japan is very developed in computer games, we found in the survey that Japanese high school students rarely play games online, and they are more keen to participate in sports at school. " Sun Hongyan said. Being with parents is not so interesting, but the pressure is not so great. According to the survey, parents of high school students in China seldom praise their children and rarely reprimand them, which rank at the bottom of the four countries. How do high school students in China cope with their parents' gentle attitude towards themselves? Are they happy with their parents? This study also investigated this aspect. The results show that China high school students are the least satisfied with their parents. The data shows that most senior high school students in the four countries think they are happier with their parents, but happier with their mothers. Among them, the proportion of American high school students who think they are happy with their father is 68. 1%, followed by South Korea (65.4%), Japan (64.3%) and China (59.3%). South Korean senior high school students think that the proportion of being happy with their mothers is the highest, 9 1.9%, followed by Japan (90.7%), the United States (76.7%) and China (68.7%). This shows that high school students in China feel unhappy with their parents. "Because parents in China are less proud and happy for their children and praise them less, it is difficult for children to feel heartfelt happiness when they are with their parents. In addition, the survey also shows that the frequency of communication between senior high school students and their parents in China is lower than that in other countries, which is related to the fact that most parents in China have dual jobs, and also to the problems in the way and content of parent-child communication in China. We find that in China, parents talk more about learning when communicating with their children, while in Japan, the content of parents' chatting with their children is usually life, courtesy, friendship and so on. Parents in China rarely recognize their children's independence and control their children's range of friends, such as interacting with well-studied or same-sex friends, which reduces their happiness when they are with them. " Sun Yunxiao said. Interestingly, this survey shows that high school students in China don't think their parents put too much pressure on them, which is not consistent with our usual impression that parents in China put too much pressure on their children. In this regard, Li Lei, a professor of psychology at Capital Normal University, said: "This may be related to our culture. In the west, the emphasis is on personal responsibility. When parents educate their children, they will emphasize that there is a problem and the children should take responsibility for themselves. But in China, when a child has a problem, it is often borne by his family, just like' gnawing at the old man' now. They will think that my parents will never let me starve to death. Therefore, the pressure on their children by parents in China is often verbal. In practice, it will not give people substantial pressure like 18 years old must be independent. "Deeply influenced by the media, they know the culture of the United States and southern China best." We also found that high school students know the media culture of the United States and South Korea best, followed by Japan. "Sun Hongyan said. According to the survey, about half of the senior high school students in China are familiar with the media culture of the United States and South Korea, and 73% of them have seen Japanese cartoons, but the senior high school students in other three countries know little about China, among which only one third of the senior high school students in the United States know the most, only 2.7% of the senior high school students in Japan have seen chinese comic, and only 6.7% of the senior high school students in South Korea have seen China's TV, news, magazines or books. "The survey results show that, relatively speaking, China high school students and American high school students know each other's country best, while China high school students' understanding of Japan and South Korea is extremely asymmetrical with Japanese and Korean high school students' understanding of China. In addition, the survey results of senior high school students' general views on nationals of other countries show that China senior high school students have the highest evaluation on Koreans, who are the most cordial, polite and people-oriented, but Korean senior high school students have a lower evaluation on China people, who think that China people are lazy, not diligent enough, do not obey the rules, and have a lower evaluation on China people's patriotism, sense of responsibility and sense of justice. High school students in China and South Korea feel misplaced about each other. The gap is far beyond our expectations and has never been encountered in our previous research. " Sun Yunxiao said. In this regard, Li Lei said: "Look at how many TV stations are broadcasting Korean dramas now, and you can understand that this feeling is misplaced. Media culture is deeply affecting our younger generation, which deserves our deep thought. "Sun Hongyan said that they would continue this research." I believe that children aged seven or eight may not watch Japanese cartoons as much as high school students do now, because our country has vigorously promoted domestic cartoons in recent years. " "The results of this survey also show that we can't just let China's children know about the world and people in other countries through the media, but we must increase their realistic exchanges with foreign children." Sun Yunxiao said.
