| Undergraduates are in the period of physical and mental development, also they are forming philosophy of life and world views, so they often don't know how to cope with society life stress events and result in mental disorder. Some investigated data show that undergraduates' mental problems are mainly revealed in stress life events and coping characteristics. Negative life events, important frustration and ineffective coping result in mental problems. Many kinds of mental problems appear among undergraduates after S ARS event, so it is an urgent thing for college mental health education how to use effective coping strategies to decrease the negative influence after traumas into the lowest degree, and it is a need to improve undergraduates' abilities of adaptability and development. We make systematic studies on undergraduates' stress disorder, coping strategies and their influence factors after SARS event in order to provide scientifical theory bases to improve undergraduates' mental quality and mental health level, and enrich the theory of college mental health education.Based on document analysis and open questionnaire investigation, and consulting relative scales at home and abroad, we compile the Undergraduates' Stress Disorder and Coping Strategies Qestionnaires after Serious Society Life Events mainly by factor-analysis approach. We also measure undergraduates in different epidemic areas using Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale and Spheres of Control in order to explore the characteristics of undergraduates' stress disorder, coping strategies and the influence of all factors. The concisions show that:1. The self-compiled Undergraduates' Stress Disorder Questionnaire after Serious Society Life Events has satisfying reliability and validity.
