Based on the results of statistical analysis, the following conclusions are reached. 1.Gifted junior high students with mathematics and science in southern Taiwan tends to perceive slight pressure in the overall level. The main source of stress was from “Enrollment policy”, while “peer interaction ” was the last source of stress. 2.The frequency of the use of stress coping strategies of the junior high school gifted students with mathematics and science in southern Taiwan was between sometimes and usually. The most frequently used coping strategies by all students were Active Coping Strategies.

Junior high gifted students with mathematics and science in Chiayi had Physical and Mental growth Stress was higher than Junior high gifted students with mathematics and science in Tainan and Kaohsiung. Junior high gifted students with mathematics and science in Chiayi had Peer Interaction Stress was higher than junior high gifted students with mathematics and science in Kaohsiung.
