The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the life stress and coping styles of university students in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, thereby establishing a direction to significantly reduce suicide of university students. It selected 317 students in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do through convenience sampling through a self-reported questionnaire. The results are summarized as follows. First, the interpersonal relation stress with relationships with same-sex friends, families, and professors had a statistically-significant positive effect on their suicidal ideation. Second, stress from economic problems, academic problems, and the sense of values had a statistically-significant positive effect on their suicidal ideation. Third, both the pursuit of social support and the problem-solving-oriented thinking among the problem-focused coping style significantly might reduce their suicidal ideation. But the evasive response coping style of the emotion-focused coping style significantly might increase their suicidal ideation. This research presented the academic implication that this study clarified the types of the life stress and coping styles which have a statistically-significant effect on the suicidal ideation of university students and the practical implication that the suicidal prevention and counseling programs in universities should develop in view of the life stress and coping styles affecting suicidal ideation.
