Objective: To compare the differences between Chinese college students in Sweden and Swedish college students in stressors, coping strategies and preference to psychological counseling. Methods: Surveys were distributed to 88 Chinese students and 183 Swedish students at Lund University by Stressors Inventory, Brief COPE Inventory and Preference to Psychological Counseling Questionnaire. Results: ① Chinese students distressed heavily by “hoping to get a good job”, Swedish students “academic pressure”. While, “ the meaning of life” and “ personal relations” made the Chinese students and Swedish students feel distressed respectively.②The Chinese group chose avoidance of coping more often than the Swedish group. The Swedish students preferred to employ problem-focused and emotion-focused ways of coping more than the Chinese ones. ③ Chinese students when they felt distressed, preferred to seek psychological counseling, more often than Swedish students. Conclusion: There are some differences in stressors, coping strategies and preference to psychological counseling between Chinese and Swedish students. And the differences might be caused by cultural differences.
