本研究旨在探究現今研究生的生活壓力及壓力的因應策略現況，期使研究結果可以協助諮商輔導單位及研究生瞭解目前學生面臨的壓力來源以及如何選擇適當的壓力調適方案。本研究以網路作答方式蒐集樣本問卷，共得有效樣本232份，經以描述統計、t檢定、變異數分析及皮爾森積差相關等方法進行分析。文中並探討個人變項是否造成生活壓力與因應策略的差異，最後並與過去的文獻進行結果的比較。主要結果如下： 一、目前研究生的生活壓力仍以未來發展壓力最爲沉重，學校課業壓力爲其次，顯示學生的壓力並未隨著時間、社會環境的變遷而有所改變。 二、研究生面對壓力時最常以調適自我情緒與自行設法解決的積極策略面對，其因應方式與大學生、青少年有所差異。 三、女生、家庭收入較低與一般大學的研究生在部分壓力構面上顯著地高於其他人。 四、不同的性別、學校類型、家庭收入在壓力因應方式的採用傾向上大致相同，但女生較男生更常延宕逃避問題；一般大學研究生較技職體系學生更常採用調適自我情緒策略。

The purpose of this study is to explore the current situations of stress and coping strategies for graduate students. We hope the results could benefit the graduate students and the staff in department of guidance and counseling as a reference. In this paper, 232 valid questionnaires were collected from network, and the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation. The relationships between different personal backgrounds and their stresses and copying strategies were analyzed, and the findings were compared with several works in the literature. The major findings are as follows: 1. The stress of "future development" is the highest and learning stress is secondary. The findings indicate that the students' stress remains the same as time goes by and social-environment changes. 2. Most graduate students used "problems solving" or "emotion adaptation" strategies to deal with stressful problems and situations. The strategies used by graduate students were different from those of college students and adolescent. 3. Female, lower family income and students from general universities have heavier stress than the other students. 4. Students with different gender, school type or family income have similar coping strategies. However, female and students in general universities tend to use "procrastinating and escaping" and "emotion adaption", respectively, than the other students.
