The factors affecting personal growth include demographic variables, family environment, social support, cognitive reconstruction, recreational activities and social culture, which have an important impact on individual’s professional identity, mental health, happiness and so on. Promoting the personal growth of visitors is the core content of psychological intervention. Future research can further improve the structure of personal growth, explore the influencing factors of personal growth, adopt more advanced research methods, and further improve the psychological intervention measures of personal growth to improve mental health.
