The relationship between graduate students and tutors is the basic element to ensure the training quality of graduate students. There is not only the explicit relationship between graduate students and tutors in education and education, but also the implicit relationship in psychological contract. The imbalance of psychological contract is the cause of the alienation of the relationship between graduate students and tutors, that is, insufficient interaction, difficult to meet the implicit and inconsistent expectations of psychological contract, difficult to establish psychological contract, different interest needs, unable to reach the subjective consistency and unequal status of psychological contract, and difficult to form the bilateral nature of psychological contract. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the interactive communication, provide the spatial basis of psychological contract, clarify reasonable expectations, establish the existence basis of psychological contract, create academic culture, form the consistent basis of psychological contract, improve the system scheme, and ensure the equal basis of psychological contract, so as to promote the relationship between graduate students and tutors towards the direction of harmony, democracy and equality.
