| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 教育研究所 === 93 === The aim of this research is to study the life stress and stress coping strategies of graduate students of College of Science and College of Engineering at National Sun Yat-sen University.
The instrument applied in this study is “The questionnaire of life stress and coping strategy of graduate students”. The subjects are full-time graduate students of College of Science and College of Engineering at National Sun Yat-sen University. Six hundred and fifty questionnaires were sent out and 598 are valid. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation.
According to the statistic result, the conclusions are:
1.The life stress of the students is moderate in which the role expectation is the highest and learning stress is the lowest.
2.Grade level and financial support have significant effect on graduate students’ life stress.
a. The whole life stress of first year graduate students is significantly higher than second year ones.
b. Students who support themselves by working as a tutor are most financial stressed. Different financial supports have significant effect on career development stress.
3.The frequency of using coping strategies is moderate in which “emotion adaptation” is used most and “delay-avoidance” is used least.
4.There is significant difference in the use of coping strategies between students of different genders and financial supports.
a.Male students used “emotion adaptation” strategies significantly more than female students did.
b.Students who depended on “other resources” as financial support are more likely to use “emotional adaptation” as main coping strategies. Students who depend on “tutor” as financial support used “problem solving” strategies most. Different financial supports affect ”social support” usage significantly.
5.There is significant correlation between life stress and coping strategies.
