The method of this study is questionnaire survey. The subjects of this study are 1017 5th and 6th graders of public elementary school (528 boys and 489 girls) from 34 classes in 17 Kaohsiung municipal elementary schools. The subjects are tested with the instruments including Basic Information Questionnaire, Parenting Style Scale, Learning Stress Scale, and Well-being Scale. The data are analyzed by descriptive

The main findings of the study are as follows：
