Abstract: A healthy social mentality is the psychological foundation for migrant workers to integrate into the city, and it is also the spiritual support for their foothold in urban life. With the development of urbanization, the mentality of migrant workers is unbalanced in the process of urban integration. This paper analyzes the status quo of urban integration of migrant workers based on the iceberg theory, and finds that migrant workers often face two “icebergs” in the process of urban integration. One of the “hidden icebergs” is the ideal “self” and the other, a “dominant iceberg”, is the “self” in reality. The social mentality of migrant workers has shown various dynamic development phenomena along with the process of urban integration, showing a more complex and diverse mentality imbalance, and restricting migrant workers’ integration into the city. The integration of workers into the city has proposed the use of iceberg theory to explore themselves, explore the positive value of migrant workers’ own negative mentality, find the positive motivation behind migrant workers’ bad mentality, reconstruct the positive channeling mechanism for migrant workers’ negative emotions, and eliminate stereotypes on migrant workers Impressions and strengthening of humanistic care and other measures to solve the social mentality of migrant workers and further improve their urban integration.

Key words: Iceberg theory, urban integration of migrant workers, social mentality
