This study employs a cross-sectional design to analyze the principal components of perceived stress from daily events and to examine whether certain factors are associated with the perceived psychosomatic symptoms in the ninth graders. Data were available on 469 students of a selected junior high school in Taipei City. According to the result of principal components analysis, three factors including poor parent-child relationship, concerning prospects, and study problems were defined for the perceived stress from daily events. A student's neurotic trait, poor parent-child relationship, and concerning prospects were selected as important predictors of perceived symptoms. School is suggested as a setting for delivering the parent-child education for stress coping.
