In this study, we made research on coping with stress in undergraduate students. The whole work included two parts: (a) We developed the Coping Strategies Questionnaire and had it tested. Five kinds of coping strategies were found by factor analysis: Problem Solving, Passive Acceptance, Support Seeking, Emotion Regulation, and Unadaptation. The reliability and validity coefficients of the questionnaire was high. (b) We examined the relations among personality characteristics (Locus of control, Extraversion, Neuroticism), emotion state, cognitive appraisal (psychological pressure, controllability, resource of social support), and the specific coping processes in several specific stressful events. The results indicated that coping have some degree of consistency across different situations which suggested that there is a general coping tendency, and that this general coping tendency, in addition to the above considered variables, have different degree of effects on subjects' choice of specific coping strategies. Finally, theoretical model of the relationship was tested through path analysis.

Learning to recognize the conditions under which actions should be considered is a crucial component in the acquisition of cognitive skill. This research focus on the way in which conditions are recognized during problem solving, so as to design effective material for learning through problem solving. The results of experiment I indicated that the subjects abstracted contents from different resources as condition at structural level through out the whole process of problem solving. The results of experiment 2 indicated that the efficiency of learning through problem solving could be greatly improved by emphasizing the recognization of conditions at structural level. The implications for both theory and application are discussed.
