A total of 80 students were divided into experiment and control group(each 40). The experimental group received 6 interpersonal group counseling interventions for 3 months, once every 2 weeks for 120 min, while the control group received no intervention. 16PF test and Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire were used for pre test and post test experiment for data analysis.

Obesity rate of boys(8.07%) was significantly higher than that of girls(1.22%) ( χ 2=29.03, P <0. 01), and obesity rate of rural students(3.72%) was higher than that of urban students(2.30%) ( χ 2=41.81, P <0.01). Through psychological intervention, active communication, appropriate refusal, self disclosure in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group ( t =2.48, 3.48, 2.29, P <0.05); the scores of gregariousness, excitement, mental health, adaptation in new environment in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t =2.31, 2.18, 2.10,2.33, P <0.05), sensitivity and suspicion, concern, tension, adaptation and anxiety were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t =-2.20, -2.08, -2.17, -2.20, -2.14, P <0.05).
