College students, a special group that has just transitioned to adulthood, have an unique psychological status, which has attracted extensive attention. Because of the varying living environment and cultural background, there may be distinct psychological differences between domestic and overseas college students. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the similarities and differences of psychological stress between domestic and overseas college students in the Covid-19 epidemic, quantify the correlation between psychological stress and personal behaviors. Professor Yang Ting Zhong’s revised stress perception scale was used to quantitatively evaluate the psychological stress of the interviewees. Taking domestic college students and overseas college students as research subjects, this project investigates the psychological stress of college students during the epidemic. The questionnaire designed by the author mainly includes six parts: basic information collection, psychological pressure perception evaluation, the attention to the epidemic information, the behavior of mask wearing, study and entertainment, as well as social activities. Then the statistical analysis of collected data was performed. In this study, 140 domestic college students and 81 overseas college students were interviewed.
