本研究目的在了解家境清寒大學生的幸福感指數及社會支持、兩者之相關、及其與同儕在此二變項上之差異。採結構式問卷調查方式。以輔仁大學進修部一至四年級學生為研究對象，採立意取樣，選取94上學期領有共同助學金或清寒助學金的同學；再以隨機分層取樣，各年級抽一班。以自填式問卷方法進行資料收集，共發出問卷300份，回收有效問卷236份，其中99份屬中低收入戶，137份為一般生。以描述統計分析、皮爾森積差相關、單因子變異數分析法和T檢定進行資料分析。研究結果和下： （一） 近三分之二的家境清寒學生，對生活持著滿意或肯定的態度。 （二） 五分之四的家境清寒學生認為自己完全沒有或有輕微的心理困擾；五分之一認為自己有中度到非常嚴重的心理健康問題。 （三） 家境清寒學生的幸福感呈正向，幸福感主要來自人際互動，最少來自金錢的滿足。 （四） 家境清寒學生的社會支持呈正向，介於「經常如此」和「有時如此」之間，主要是情緒上的支持。 （五） 家境清寒學生的幸福感與社會支持呈顯著正相關。 （六） 家境清寒學生與其同儕在生活滿意度上呈顯著差異。 （七） 研究對象接受社會支持和主觀心理健康，因性別不同而有顯著差異。 　　根據以上結果，為學生及學校提出數項建議；未來研究則可考慮擴充研究對象、加入質的或長期縱貫研究方法，以便對此議題進行更深入的探討。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the subjective wellbeing of the university students from low-income families (LIF), the relationship between subjective wellbeing and social support, and whether the subjective wellbeing of this group of students varied from that of the regular students.
