本文擬針對大專生的生活痛苦指數之議題進行探究，首先建立一份「大專生生活痛苦指數量表」，其次針對問卷結果對學子的痛苦因素進行分析比較。文中先將取得的1,908 份有效問卷，隨機分為三組獨立樣本，分別進行探索性、驗證性因素分析及簡效模式的複核效化，最後再進行大專生的痛苦因素分析及討論。所得結論如下：1.大專生的痛苦來源可分為家庭、社會、兩性、未來、人際、政府、休閒以及課業等八個構面。2.多因素斜交模式為一最簡效模式，量表同時具有良好的信效度、穩定性與預測力。3.學生感到最痛苦的前三大構面為政府作為、未來發展和社會情境。

The purpose of the study was to construct a reliable and valid scale of the misery index for college students, and to investigate the current situation of students’ misery.A target sample of 1,908 students was drawn from 5 different colleges and then randomly divided into three groups in order to perform an exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and cross-validation, respectively. Finally, detailed analyses and discussions were presented for the investigative results. Some of the major findings and conclusions are as follows:1. Sources of misery for college students were divided into eight aspects: family,society, gender relationship, future, interpersonal relationship, government, amusement
and academic performances.2. Multi-factor oblique model was found to be the most efficient model and its stability and predictive power were confirmed.3. The top 3 misery aspects were government’s behavior, future development and social situation.
