Abstract: A questionnaire survey was conducted among356 college students to find out about the relationship between their positive psychological capital and academic emotions,. The results were as follows: (1)Positive psychological capital of college students was found to be rather satisfactory in general, while significant differences are seen in terms of their gender, origin, and whether they are a student cadre;(2)The findings find significant differences between rural and urban students in terms of the academic emotions or whether or not a student cadre, while no significant difference is found in terms of the student origin; (3)Positive psychological capital was positively related to their positive academic emotions and negatively relat-
ed to the negative academic emotions, indicating that psychological capital had a significant predicting power on academic emo- tions. The results showed that positive psychological capital was significantly correlated with academic emotions in college students and was one of the influencing factors of their academic emotions.
