This study was aimed to test the power of explanation of stress vulnerability for stress level, which is the subscales of IESS.

237 University students (3∼4 grade) and late 20∼early 40’s administered IESS twice and these data were analyzed.

Correlation between all scales of stress vulnerability and stress level were positively significant (r=0.18∼0.47). Results of multiple regression analysis suggested that regardless of test time, perfectionism and avoidance scale of stress vulnerability had the biggest explanation power for stress level and stress vulnerability could explain the future stress level significantly.

These results suggest that IESS which is consisted with stress vulnerability and stress level might be utilized to predict future stress.

This study was performed to identify the mediating effect of alcohol expectancy and moderating effect of coping response on the relation between university students’ stress and drinking problem.

Data collected from 264 university students’ self-report questionnaire, including life daily stress, alcohol expectancy, coping response, drinking problem were analyzed.

The mediating effect of alcohol expectancy was significant (β=.26, p<.001). Although, the moderating effect of approach coping response was not significant, the moderating effect of avoidance coping response was significant (β=.12, p<.01).

These results suggest that treatment and intervention for drinking problems of university students’ must pay attention on alcohol expectancy and try to decrease the preference of avoidance coping response.
