The Emotional Training Courses were implemented through structured group psychological counseling, leveraging an amalgamation of theoretical perspectives from mental health education, ideological and political education, and sociology in designing their curricula. The objective of the courses is to foster reasonable cognitive frameworks among college students by adopting a practical, hands-on teaching methodology that integrates cognitive restructuring with emotional scenarios. The approach aims to augment students’ capabilities in emotion perception, expression, and regulation, ultimately contributing to the preservation of their emotional and mental well-being. The primary focus of this research is to investigate the impact of emotional training programs on college students’ regulatory emotional self-efficacy. Notably, the findings revealed a significant elevation in various factors related to emotional selfefficacy among the 24 participants in the emotional training courses (t=-17.414 ~ -4.796, ps<0.001). Consequently, emotional training courses grounded in group psychological counseling emerge as an effective means to bolster college students’ regulatory emotional self-efficacy and present a promising new format for mental health education in higher education institutions.
