Abstract: Based on positive psychology, a questionnaire survey was conducted on303collegestudents using the General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES), the College Student SubjectiveWell BeingScale (SWB), and the Social Support Scale (SSA) to explore the impact of social support oncollegestudents’ self-efficacy, and to test the mediating effect model of subjective well-beinganditsapplicability. A relationship model between the three variables was constructed to exploretheinternal mechanism of promoting the development of college students’ mental health. Theresultsshowed that: (1) there is a significant correlation between social support, subjective well-being, andself-efficacy, and social support and subjective well-being are important factors affectingcollegestudents’ self-efficacy; (2) There is no significant difference in social support, subjectivewell-being,and self-efficacy among only child issues; (3) The mediating effect of social support andsubjectivewell-being on self-efficacy is significant; (4) The mediating effect of social support onself-efficacythrough subjective well-being is significant; The research results confirmthe psychologicalmechanism through which social support partially mediates the effects of self-efficacyandsubjective well-being, providing reference and suggestions for the psychological healthdevelopment of college students.
