Abstract

This study aims to explore the current issues of stress faced by college students and their coping strategies. With the intensification of social competition and changes in the educational environment, college students are experiencing unprecedented psychological and life pressures. These pressures come from various sources, including academic pressure, interpersonal relationship stress, and job-related pressure. This study collected a wealth of data on college students' perceptions of stress and their coping mechanisms through surveys and in-depth interviews. The research found that college students employ various coping strategies when dealing with stress, and the effectiveness of these strategies varies from person to person. In addition, this study also examines the measures that universities can take to assist students in managing stress. The research findings not only provide empirical data for understanding the current psychological health status of college students but also offer valuable management and intervention recommendations for universities and society.
