本研究探討大學生的情緒智慧、憂鬱傾向以及其他情緒調整策略現況。作者採用橫斷法，依北中南三區分層的叢集取樣，抽取12所臺灣地區大學校院共1347名學生為施測樣本，利用「大學生情緒經驗問卷」測量受試大學生的情緒智慧、憂鬱傾向及其情緒調整策略。研究發現：1. 大學生的情緒智慧狀況大致不錯，不同公私立、性質、性別、憂鬱傾向大學生的整體情緒智慧呈現顯著差異；2. 大學生的整體憂鬱傾向不明顯，但仍有3成以上大學生有明顯憂鬱傾向，不同性質、情緒智慧大學生的憂鬱傾向有顯著差異；3. 大學生的憂鬱傾向與情緒智慧之間呈現顯著負相關；4. 大學生感覺到心情好與不好的最主要因素都是「人際關係」；大學生想讓自己或別人心情變好時主要傾向採取放鬆分心、尋求支持策略；大多數大學生如果想讓自己心情變好時主要是選擇朋友；以及大學生對於自己平常情緒表現的評價多認為尚稱不錯；5. 大多數大學生沒有自殺傾向，卻有部分學生有自殺意念傾向。本文也針對研究結論提出相關建議，提供學術界與實務界參考，以改善大學生的情緒智慧、憂鬱傾向以及情緒調整策略。
