Abstract
Many Chinese students suffer from negative psychology in college English learning. The causes and formation of the negative psychology should be identified to improve their learning effect. Therefore, this paper sums up the features of negative psychology among college students in grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3. Then, the causes of these features among college English learners were analysed from three dimensions: cultural background, family environment and individual factor, with the aid of Flavell’s metacognitive theory and Cattell’s 16 Personality Factors Test. The results show that the college English learners in grade 1, grade 2 and grade 3 mainly face adaptation problems, learning and emotional problems, and employment problems; the negative psychology in English learning are mainly attributable to conflicting cultural values, relaxed family supervision, and improper coping strategies. The research results provide college English learners an important reference for combating psychological stress and improving English learning.
