摘要：Along the last years, we have observed a significant increase of the investigations concerning the life-style of college graduate students. In this sense, there has been produced an effort to characterize the different life-styles of students in the University of Algarve and to perceive in which way their life-style affects their motivation and studying methods. In order to accomplish the objectives of the study, we resorted to the Life-Style and Studying Methods for College Graduate Students Assessment Scale (Martins & Jesus, 2008). Participated in this study 180 students of the University of Algarve majoring in different courses, with ages raging from 18 to 43 (M = 23,8) and of both sexes (57,78% females and 42,22% males). In average, the subjects questioned presented life-styles reasonably healthy and the results seem to corroborate the model developed by Pacheco, Martins & Jesus (2008), indicating that life-styles are directly affected by the quality of life and motivation.
