Well-being is a core concept towards active psychological state, and is a positive evaluation of people's life quality.By using "Multiple Happiness Questionnaire (MHQ)"drawn by Yuanjiang Miao and "Coping Style Questionnaire" drawn by Jihua Xiao, this paper makes a study on 1206 college students from 10 different colleges of 4 different types (key university, normal undergraduate university, private college in public university, higher vocational education and professional college). The aim of this paper is to explore the statistical differences of sense of happiness and coping style among different types of college students. The results are demonstrated as following.1. As to different types of universities, the students in key universities own more subjective sense of happiness and experience less negative emotion than the students from the other three types of universities. They also adopt less negative coping styles such as "illusion", "escape", and "rationalization" than the students from other three types of universities. The students in higher vocational education and professional college focus less on "good relationship", and are less satisfactory in life than others.2. As far as different grades concerned, freshmen and sophomores adopt less negative coping styles such as "self-accusation", "illusion", "escape", and "rationalization" than juniors and seniors, and it's clear that the freshmen enjoy more in psychological happiness, subjective happiness and comprehensive happiness than other three grades.3. In the aspect of sex, female students tend to adopt the coping style of "succorance" and "illusion", while male students tend to adopt "rationalization". But there are no differences in the other three coping styles. Female students enjoy more in subjective sense of happiness.4. In home education, students from democratic families show significantly less in "self- accusation", "escape", "illusion", "rationalization" than others. Meanwhile they enjoy significantly more in life vigor, health attention, behavior of altruism, good relationship, personality cultivation, negative emotion, psychological happiness and comprehensive happiness.5. The sense of happiness of college students has positive relationship with its coping style in solving problems and dimension of "succorance", while there is a negative relationship with "self-accusation", "escape", "illusion", "rationalization" dimension. Active coping style does well to the cultivation of sense of happiness, while passive coping style, especially the coping style of passive emotion attention is at opposite poles.6. The individual coping style might to some extent predicate one's psychological happiness, subjective happiness and comprehensive happiness level.
