Academic Stress

According to Fairbrother and Warn (2003) which is further stated by Purna Prabhakar Nandamuri and Gowthami Ch (2011) identifies academic stress as the stressors which are related in academics like for examples the poor relationship with its other students, too many assignment, failures, and etc. Like for examples the social Familiarty where it is difficult to find and/or maintain it (Hartshorn, 1976).

According to Abouserie (1994) which is further explained by Purna and Gowthami that the academic stress occurs at most on the times where students studies for the exams, grade competition, and learning a large amount of knowledge in a short period of time and the most common people who are vulnerable and experience high levels of academic stress is the first-year university students (Towbes & Cohen, 1996; Pancer et al., 2000; Wintre & Yaffe, 2000) which is express in another manner by Habibah, Wong, and Maria (2011).The reason that this could happened according to the research conducted by Dwyer & Cummings( 2001) which further illustrate by Habibah, Wong, and Maria (2011) is the inability to adapt to the sudden changes to his/her life. According to Goodman (1994) which is further stated by Purna and Gowthami (2011) that the stressors can be categorize as financial, time or health related, academic and self-imposed. Based on the research conducted by Hatcher and Prus (1991) which is further stated by Purna and Gowthami where they factor it out the ways to the decrease a student’s academic performance in which one of the factors is the academic stress

Based on the research by Murphy & Archer (1996) which further is explained by Purna and Gowthami (2011) if the academic stress keeps on going it may cause the students some physical and psychological aliment and the things that a student can do to reduce the stress that they are feeling are to manage their time, active in leisure activities, and etc but only the research conducted by Ragheb and McKinney (1993) who made the negative connection between the two.

Synthesis

Based on the literature that has been reviewed, it is evident that stress is a emotional respond to a sudden change in the surrounding environment which in turn affects a student physical and metal capabilities. It may seem evident that once a student reaches that college/ university period of study and the fact that the K-12 curriculum has been passed on that they will experience the great amount of stress but as long as they adapt to the new things that happened in the surroundings then it will feel great
