Research On The Development Stress And Social Support Of Impoverished Female Undergraduates

In recent years, the phenomenon of poor students in colleges, a remarkable social problem, has aroused extensive concerns of the government and various societal circles. But the female undergraduates, as a special group, come from the impoverished families, and their situations draw our attention to do further studies. This paper applies the gender perspective, with the multi-disciplinary theory such as, developmental psychology and social support theory,etc. to analyze this topic, and on basis of empirical investigations in eight colleges of FuZhou, we do study on this group further. Firstly, the paper exhaustively analyzes the development stress on the impoverished female undergraduates, the cause of the stress and their anti-stress attitudes, based on individual interview and the data from the questionnaire survey. Secondly, this paper explores the forms and characteristics of the impoverished female' social support as well as some existent problems. Then it points out more care and support needed help them relax the stress. Finally, this paper tries to establish an effective social-support system to help and promote their grow-up and success. In the analysis, this paper adopts the quantitative and the qualitative analyses, and makes contrast the impoverished female with the impoverished male, and with the common girl respectively.
