Abstract

Positive and negative feelings are felt by all of us in our lives. When an individual goes through an unjust, personal humiliating or hurtful event which results in psychological stress and even strong urge for revenge, the individual is suffering from embitterment (Linden, 2003). Students play vital role in make or break of any society. It is essential to address the emotional disturbances they might have. Current study explores the phenomenon of Embitterment in university students. Data was collected from students using Semi structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. Assessment of happenings in life of students, negative impacts of bad happenings and unfairness, positive and negative reactions to unfair behavior and ways to overcome it are discussed. It was concluded that if events in students’ life are looked into carefully then possible reactions can be identified. This way it leads to have more control on embittered mind and solutions can be found. This study will contribute in helping students for friendly atmosphere to grow academically and have a better life in general.

大学生怨恨心理的质性研究

我们每个人在生活中都会感受到积极和消极的情绪。当一个人经历了不公正的，个人的羞辱或伤害事件，导致心理压力，甚至强烈的报复冲动，个人遭受了痛苦(林登，2003)。学生在任何社会的成败中起着至关重要的作用。解决他们可能有的情绪困扰是至关重要的。本研究探讨了大学生的“怨恨”现象。使用半结构化访谈从学生中收集数据。数据分析采用专题分析。对学生生活中发生的事件的评估，不良事件和不公平的负面影响，对不公平行为的积极和消极反应以及克服它的方法进行了讨论。结论是，如果仔细观察学生生活中的事件，那么可能的反应是可以确定的。这样就能更好地控制痛苦的思想，并找到解决办法。这项研究将有助于帮助学生在友好的氛围中成长，并在总体上有更好的生活。

期刊介绍： Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
