These cadres’ mental health is directly relevant to the efficiency and quality of college students’ administration.Based on the review of domestic and foreign literatures about frustration tolerance, this study combined methods of open-ended questionnaire, expert advice and so on, put forward a theoretical hypothesis of undergraduates’ frustration tolerance, and formed a questionnaire of undergraduates’ frustration tolerance. With item analysis and factor analysis testing its reliability and validity, the question turned out to be good in reliability and validity, which means that the questionnaire can be used to measure undergraduates’ frustration tolerance.College student cadres were invested with this frustration tolerance questionnaire and College Student Positive Character Scale. This study discussed the current situation and characteristics of college student cadres’ frustration tolerance, analyzed the relationship of frustration tolerance on variables of gender, grades, source place, only-child or not, and student-cadre or not, and its relationship with positive traits of personality.
