Abstract

Human beings are facing a new development environment in the transformation stage of the technological and industrial revolution in the context of the new round of globalization. In China, values based on marketization and values based on local culture have different functions in human psychological adaptation, and new behavioral qualities may be formed in cultural interlacing and collision to adapt and cope with new situations brought by changes. This paper constructs the logical thread of “cognitive change - qualitative change in education - innovation enhancement - industrial leap”, and deduces the transmission mechanism of improving social cognition and education to promote the change of industrial structure. The theoretical model is also empirically analyzed using 434-panel data consisting of 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2022. The regression model of the threshold effect of education affecting industrial upgrading was constructed. The moderation effect model of psychological factors in education affecting industrial upgrading was constructed. The mediation effect model of innovation as a mediator, when education influences industrial upgrading, is constructed. It is found that there is a non-linear relationship between education quality and industrial structure, and the improvement of education quality, will bring about an industrial leap. The mechanism test shows that the improvement of the national cognitive level has a positive regulating effect on the development of education quality. At the same time, the ability of creativity plays an intermediary transferring role in education affecting industrial change.
