Pressure of China: interactions of Normative Traditional value, perceived pressure, intimate relationship and leisure

Abstract

Traditional Chinese expectations and beliefs are mainly influenced by the Confucian ethics. It emphasized family loyalty, social expectations, and filial responsibilities, which shaped the mindset and social relations of the Chinese people for thousands of years. These normative values are still the main factors today, affecting how people view pressure, anxiety, relaxation, and intimate relationships among individuals in a rapidly modernizing China (Huwae, 2017). Grasping these influences is very important for solving the problems of well-being that Chinese individuals are facing today. This study aims to explore the dynamics between perceived pressure, Chinese traditional norms, leisure, and intimate relationships. Through the examination of these factors, we aim to give a better understanding of the connection between culture and mental health problems in contemporary Chinese society.
