Abstract
For college students, psychological capital (PsyCap) reflect their positive and developmental state. In this paper, the theories on traditional music education are combined with psychological theories to detail the promoting effect of traditional music education on the PsyCap of college students. The overall situation of PsyCap of college students was obtained through a questionnaire survey on the four dimensions of PsyCap, namely, hope, optimism, confidence and toughness. The survey shows that college students generally have a good PsyCap, with no signifcant difference between males and females; the PsyCap changes greatly from freshmen and sophomores, and tends to be stable for junior and senior students. On this basis, a group intervention program with traditional music was designed and applied for a contrastive experiment on college students. The experimental results show that the students intervened by traditonal music had much better PsyCap than those not intervened. This research provides new empirical results on the role of traditional music education on PsyCap construction of college students.
