本研究主要目的在探討家庭支持、同儕支持對青少年因應不同壓力(包括學校、父母、同儕、自我和異性)的影響。本研究的樣本來自於雲林縣兩所園中，共有380個受試者自願參與，其中有33份問卷因回答不當而放棄，最後共有347份問卷納入資料分析。受試者共填寫了4份量表，分別是家庭及同儕支持量表(PSS-Fa'PSS-Fr， Procidano & Heller， 1983)'壓力事件量表(包 括最近這兩個月所經驗來自學校、父母、同儕、自我和異性等的壓力)，及因應策略量表(Kuan，1993)。

研究結果顯示，青少年較常使用工具性因應策略來解決來自學校、父母、同儕、自我和異性等的壓力;而家庭支持與同儕支持對青少年因應壓力的模式有著加成性的影響;最後，只有家庭支持能顯著地預測青少年使用情感/逃避的因應模式，此映證了以往的研究發現-家庭支持是影響青少年身心健康的主要因素。

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relative influences of family support and peer support on Taiwanese adolescents' ability to cope with the stressors from school， parents， peers， self， and the opposite sex.

Three hundred and foty-seven 7th graders from junior high schools in YungLing were randomly selected to participate in this study. Subjects were asked to complete the scales of perceived social support from family and peers (PSS-Fa and PSS-Fr) (Procidano and Heller， _1983)， a scale including five potential stressful situations that may have been experienced by adolescents most often in the past two months， a question regarding the degree of perceived stressfulness of the stressors， and a coping scale corresponding to each stressor (Kuan， 1993).

The results indicated that adolescents from Yung-Ling tended to use more instrumental coping and less avoidance/emotional coping in dealing with the stressors from school， parents， peers， self， and the opposite sex. Moreover， contradictory to the proposed hypotheses that family support and peer support may have either a compensatory or a complementary effect on instrumental coping， the study found an additive effect. Finally， only family support was found to be important in predicting the use of avoidance/emotional coping， which is consistent with previous studies in that family support occupies the central place in adolescents' general well-being.
