A Research On Tourism Management Undergraduate Students' Subjective-Well-Being,Academic Pressure And Coping Styles

As the job-seeking market gets worse,undergraduates are faced with multiple psychological pressure.Some even suffer from psychological issues.This situation cast bad impact on undergraduates' physical and mental health,as well as the cultivation of youth.Facing the new coming challenge,it is vital to study and research on undergraduates' mental status.Subjective-Well-Being(SWB)is one of the important metrics on assessing people's psychological health.Academic pressure is some mental factor special for students.Pressure coping styles is the process of an individual coping with pressure in terms of both cognition and action.This study focuses on Tourism Management undergraduates' psychological status from the above three perspectives.The subject of this study is 400 undergraduates from colleges that have tourism management major.The following questions are raised:(a)Does personal background play a role in students' SWB,academic pressure or coping styles?(b)What is the relationship between these three metrics?(c)How is the predictability against SWB in terms of academic pressure and coping styles?(d)Does coping styles play an intermediate role between SWB and academic pressure? If so,is it a partial intermediate or total one?By using SWB assessing form(emotion assessing form,life satisfaction assessing form),college students academic pressure survey,simple coping styles measurement,etc.,as well as statistics approaches such as descriptive analysis,regressive analysis,graph analysis,we analyze the status quo and relationship of SWB,academic pressure and coping styles and come to the following conclusions:(a)Personal backgrounds do make a difference as for tourism management undergraduates' SWB,coping styles and academic pressure.(b)When facing with academic pressure undergraduates from tourism management major usually take an optimistic coping solution.(c)The SWB of tourism management undergraduates falls around the average.They also score average on emotion and life satisfaction measurement.(d)There exists positive correlation between tourism management undergraduates' SWB and optimistic coping style.From the graph analysis,SWB can not only be predicted from academic pressure by itself,but also can be indirectly impacted by positive coping style.Positive coping style plays a partial intermediate role between academic pressure and SWB.Finally,per the research conclusion and combined with related theories,some advices for schools,teachers and students are proposed,to ideally moderate students' academic pressure and enhance their SWB.
