Abstract
This paper discussed the life event stress status of elementary school pupils through 4-6 grades, and examined the relationship of life event stress and academic achievement to the behavioral adjustment which were appraised by their teacher in charge of the class. Results showed: The major negative stress in elementary school pupils life was academic achievement. The elementary school pupils life event stress increased by age and without gender difference. Boys were more behaviorally maladjusted and the 6th grade pupils were less dependent on the teachers appraisement. Regression analyses indicated that academic achievement, gender, family income, life event stress and age were significantly predictive of the pupils behavioral adjustment.
