本研究欲瞭解大學生愛情關係中的分手歷程，並以發生衝突到分手後這段時間的「關係變化」與「個人心理歷程」為研究架構，以瞭解個體如何經驗與處理分手事件所帶來的衝突與矛盾。主要採個別深度訪談的方法進行，研究對象為8位大學期間有戀愛分手經驗且願意分享其經過之大學生，其中男女各半，年齡從20歲到25歲不等，大學生6名，碩士生2名，所回憶的分手經歷皆發生在大學階段。研究結果為：(1)分手歷程大致可分成「關係衝突—從衝突開始到知覺會分手」、「關係拉扯—分手中的矛盾」、「自我沈浮—分時十後的消沈」、「起飛—展開新生活到現在」等四段階；(2)分手的關係改變歷程也是個人自我感受的改變歷程；(3)自我沈浮的低潮階段是起飛階段的基礎；(4)主動提出分手與被動分手者在此歷程中均面臨自我定位問題。最後針對以上研究結果進行討論，並提出對實務工作者的建議。
