Academic Stress and Life Satisfaction among College Students

This study analyses the possible relationship connecting academic stress in students with life satisfaction. A quantitative approach underpinned by the positivist philosophy was used to administer standardized questionnaires through Google Forms to collect data from 110 participants. The measure for academic stress levels was the Perceptions of Academic Stress Scale (PAS), while the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) assessed life satisfaction. Negative correlation was found through data analysis on SPSS, indicating that higher life satisfaction is associated with lower academic stress levels, and vice versa. These results depict the significant relationship that the two variables have on each other. Knowledge on the interplay between subjective well-being and academic experiences is advanced through this study.
