本研究之主要目的在探討不同背景變項國小高年級學童挫折容忍力與生活適應的差異情形，及挫折容忍力與生活適應的相關情形。以台灣中部地區公立國民小學五、六年級學生為對象，有效樣本共有298人。評量工具包含背景資料、挫折容忍力量表、生活適應量表三部分。所得資料以單因子變異數分析、t檢定、積差相關、迴歸分析等方法進行統計分析。本研究主要發現如下：一、國小高年級學童的挫折容忍力在性別、年級、家庭型態及家庭社經地位上均無顯著差異。二、國小高年級學童的生活適應在年級及性別沒有顯著差異，在家庭社經地位及家庭型態上有顯著差異。
三、國小高年級學童挫折容忍力與生活適應有顯著正相關。四、國小高年級學童挫折容忍力三因素，其中以「挫折後行動取向」對生活適應的預測力作用最大。

The main purposes of this study were to analyze the correlation on frustration tolerance and life adjustment among fifth and sixth grade elementary students. A total of 300 questionnaires were dispatched, and 298 were valid. The questionnaire contained three parts：Personal background, Frustration Tolerance Scaleand Life Adjustment Scale. One Way
ANOVA, t-test, Pearson correlation, and regression were used for analyzing data. The main results were as follows：First, in the aspect of frustration tolerance between fifth and sixth grade students, there were
no significant differences on gender, grade, parents’ social status and family patterns.Second, in the aspect of life adjustment between fifth and sixth grade students, there were significant differences on parents’ social status and family patterns, but no significant differences on grade and gender.Third, the frustration tolerance significantly correlates with life adjustment, especially action’ shows highest correlation, followed by ‘preferred difficulty’ and ‘affection’.
Fourth, among the action, affect and preferred difficulty, the three factors in frustration tolerance, the action was the most effective predictor of frustration tolerance.
