Abstract

This study has made attempts to explore the intervention effect of psychological counseling techniques by horticulture on the interpersonal disturbance of vocational college students. Twenty vocational college students who scored more than 9 points in the Interpersonal Relationship Integrative Diagnostic Scale (IRIDS) were randomly divided into the intervention group (10 persons who received 5 periods of horticultural group based psychological counseling) and the control group (10 persons who were in the waiting group). After the intervention process, the Interpersonal Relationship Integrative Diagnostic Scale (IRIDS) was used for post-test. The results showed that interpersonal distress decreased significantly in the intervention group (p<0.01), while there was no significant difference in the waiting group. It shows that the group psychological guidance by horticulture has a positive intervention effect on the students' interpersonal disturbance, which is conducive to alleviating the students' interpersonal disturbance.
