The questionaire about the students'cognition evaluation on middle school stress had good realibility and validity ; The congnitive evaluation of the middle school stress was mainly divided into two parts : influential evaluation and controllable evaluation ; There was significantly difference about influential evaluation among three grades and this difference increased along with the grade sequence; There was no significantly difference about controllable evaluation among the grades; there was also no significantly difference between boys and girls about congnitive evaluation on the middle school stress . 3. The questionaire about the students'coping strategies to the school stress had good realibility and validity ; Students'strategies included four parts :attention shifting ,problem solving,asking for help and avoiding rejection; There was no significantly difference among the grades about the coping strategies ; There was significantly difference between boys and girls about coping strategies,girls were more inclined to use coping strategies than boys ,especially on the attention shifting and asking for help. 4. The questionaire about the students'reaction to the school stress had good realibility and validity ; The reaction included four parts : annoyance and depression ,behavior changing , irritation, tiredness; there was significantly difference among the grades about the response to the stress, the intensity of the reponse increases along with the grade sequence, the change from Grade 1 to Grade 2 especially significant ;There was significantly difference between boys and girls about the response to the worriment ,depression and behavior changing . Furthermore girls'response to worriment and depression higher than that of boys', boys'response to the behavior changing significantly higher than girls. 5. The middle school stress consisted of four basic segments: the stressor ,cognitive evaluation, coping strategies and response to the stress ; Cognitive evaluation and coping strategies were the independent intervening variable ; Through students'cognitive evaluation, the school stressor was changed into theirs response to the stress . It was the significance feature that the middle school student couldn't do well in using the coping strategies. 6. The students'reaction to the middle school stress included four types : low-reaction type, tired-reaction type, irritable and tired-reaction type and high-reaction type; Students firstly felt worried, depressed and tired when they faced with all kinds of school stress affairs , those kinds of bad feeling accumulated continuously and they would cause explosive emotion reactions or even more serious psychological or behavior problems. 7. It was difficult for the educators to aware of the coming of the studenrs'latent"psychological crisis". Group guidance was an effective way to ameliorate the middle school stress; The stress reaction as worriment and depression, tiredness, indignation could be definitely ameliorated through short-time group guidance, coping strategies and the feeling of stress. |
