ABSTRACT
Social Stratification is a social issue that is inevitable nowadays. Social

Stratification is an effect to different treatment to people from different classes.
Categorization and the difference to treatment based on class is rampant especially in
schools. ‘Social Stratification: The Influence of Student’s Class System on their
Academic Performance’ determined the class system’s influences on student’s
academic performance and to spread awareness in order to avoid social stratification
discrimination. Phenomenological design was used under qualitative approach wherein
the researchers had 6 respondents through proportional and snowballing sampling and
used the experiences of the respondents in presenting the gathered information.
Different references were used such as articles, books and the internet. The
respondents were interviewed about their experiences and was categorized with the 3
major class systems. All the respondents were students who came from Ateneo de
Davao University - Senior High School Department. The findings presented in this paper
clearly illustrated that students that belong to the upper and middle class have the more
stable family financial state than that who belong to the lower class. And that there are
negative and positive influences of these distinct stability from social equality to how
they cope up with others and the presence of linguistic barrier. Other than that the
effects which are the disruption of Psychological Stability, Family Dependency and the
struggle of managing External Factors were observed.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This chapter of the paper presents the problem and its setting. It includes the
background of the study, the statement of the problem, significance of the study, and
scope and delimitation of the study.
Background of the Study
Everyone gets stressed. Whether it's from financial troubles, relationships, health
problems, or work, there's pretty much an endless list of things that can rile you up and
leave you feeling frazzled. For some people, though, the consequences of stress can
show up more outwardly than it does in others.
“The sum of physical, emotional and mental strains or tensions of a person” is
what stress means. Stress can result from a reaction to a situation in which a person
feels threatened or pressured or sometimes both. Learning and memory can be affected
by stress. Although an optimal level of stress can enhance ability, too much stress can
cause physical and mental health problems, reduce self-esteem and may affect the
academic performance of the students. Knowing this, researchers have claimed that
students do experience academic stress. Academic Stress is a type of stress that the
students are facing in terms of managing their time, limit to extend effort, self-
expectation and involvement for the sake of academic performance. With that, this
study aims to know the effects of stress to students’ academic performance in Ateneo
de Davao Senior High School.
In a global scale, According to Agolla (2009) Stress has become an important
topic in academic circles. Many scholars in the field of behavioral science have carried
out extensive research on stress and its outcomes and concluded that the topic needed
more attention.
Also according to Krishnan Lal (2013), the students today are facing with new
challenges in education calling for greater effort from students. In addition there are
heavy demands made by the society on students to perform various roles, many of
which are undefined, inconsistent and unachievable in the present socio-cultural,
economic and bureaucratic contexts of our society, causing heavy stress on students
mainly high school students. Students in their teens are the ones who are going through
the transitional phase, which is an intermediate of childhood and adulthood. Stress is
believed to be caused by the various problems that exist such as problems at school,
colleges, financial problems, family problems and problems in their surroundings.
In a national scale, according to Sunstar (2018) the academic stress of the high
school students are divided into the most essential element, which is known as the
learning process. The performance of these constituent acts as an important role in
setting academic achievements which are associated to what people value in
experiencing stress since academic works or activities are inevitable in the school
setting. Even those who are rich, physically beautiful or happy may also experience this
kind of stress. Stress usually happen when there are too many homeworks and
activities to do also when there is an exam or quizzes. Stress can affect an emotional,
physical and mental health especially our behaviour. In the field of education, the most
common sources of stress that may read to fear and anxiety to students.
In a local scale, as per Cuerpo J. (2017) stretch is a main consideration on
how a kid performs scholastically. An examination done in 2000 on learning hypotheses
expresses that pressure can upgrade learning capacity, yet a lot of it could prompt
physical and emotional well-being issues and the scholastic accomplishment of a
youngster is imperiled. An individual can without much of a stretch adjust; youngsters
are known to adjust superior to grown-ups. In any case, the versatile capacities are
enormously influenced when the requests turn out to be excessively overpowering. This
at that point influences the understudies' scholarly execution. Senior high understudies
looked with a gigantic measure of pressure that originates from an excessive amount of
homework, long tests, and execution errands. The outstanding task at hand is not really
the issue; rather it is the constrained measure of time for these necessities. Another
examination was directed for the impacts of weight on wellbeing propensities, wellbeing
status, and confidence expresses that working hours and remaining burdens are
prevailing wellsprings of stress. The scholastic pressure that understudies are
encountering is presumably part of the birth agonies of the senior high program. It ought
to be noted, in any case, that on the off chance that an understudy is experiencing
issues in adapting to scholastic worry, there may be not kidding repercussions, for
example, psycho-social and enthusiastic wellbeing results. In the context of Ateneo
de Davao University, 7.81% of the students undergo Academic Probation, and in that
program, one of reasons of the students why they do undergo probation is because of
stress. Stress in a way caused by lack of study skills, test anxiety, lack of time
management and peer or parental pressure. According to some students in ADDU, the
causes of their stress is the difficulty of the subject matter, financial instability, difficulty
study environment, teacher factor and personal issues. With that, the school done some
actions to help those students. Such as encouraging them to join learning enhancement
assistance programs in which they’ll have extra classes after school hours to tackle the
lesson that they might have a hard time with because they are distracted and stressed.
Review of Related Literature and Studies
This is the description that leads the reader to understanding the research
questions and appreciate why they are asked (Creswell, 2013). It is also here where
you will present pertinent literature of your study which supports research finding
related to stress and academic performance. The previous studies will help the
researchers conceptualize and hypothesize phenomenon and do critical appraisal.

The researchers reviewed related literature and studies in order to obtain information
and the status of the topic or problem that may apply in the area.
Stress and Mental Health
Stress can be characterized by different methods for mental, enthusiastic,
physical and in different structures. It principally begins from an unfortunate condition
which can be from the unforeseen adolescence and goes until deep rooted. There are
different examinations saying that Indians are the most elevated sufferers of worry
because of absence of work, cozy connections, double-crossing, unforeseen youth,
and so forth this has in some cases lead the adolescence to insinuate associations with
friend bunches which is regularly defended by stressors to get free out of pressure.
One out of four individuals on the planet will be influenced by mental or neurological
disarranges sooner or later in their lives. Around 450 million individuals presently
experience the ill effects of such conditions, putting mental disarranges among the
main sources of sick wellbeing and incapacity around the world. By and by in India
alone there around 3.5 percent of stressors in which 10 to 17 percent of them are in the
essential phases of pressure. A significant number of them don't have the foggiest idea
that they are influenced by pressure and in the event that they realize they are
influenced by pressure they don't know how and where to get treatment. Regularly they
expect that the general public will think themselves as insane person or psychos.
Stress is for the most part prone to be regular among male particularly between the
age ranging of 20 to 25 years.
Stress and its signs, for example, nervousness, wretchedness, and burnout,
have dependably been viewed as a typical issue among individuals in various callings
and occupations. Over the most recent couple of decades, alert has just been incited
by the expansion of books, examine reports, prominent articles and the developing
number of sorted out workshops, expecting to show individuals how to adapt to this
marvel ( Keinan and Perlberg, 2000).
In contrast, worry among college understudies has turned into a point of
enthusiasm for couple of specialists to day. Scholarly responsibilities, money related
weights, and the absence of time the board abilities have brought about numerous
college understudies encountering extraordinary worry at unsurprising occasions amid
every semester. College understudies' wellbeing and scholastic execution can be
adversely influenced in view of higher level of pressure the dimension of experienced
pressure is affected by the assets accessible for the individual so as to manage explicit
unpleasant occasions and circumstances (Zeidner, 2002).
Keinan and Perlberg (2000) called attention to that the level of pressure
experienced by college understudies may contrast from non-understudy peers and
starting with one school year then onto the next. Amid the principal year at the college,
college understudies experience issues to acclimatize a huge measure of scholarly
material in a brief period, and they are required to create compelling examination
systems and propensities so as to adapt to the volume of material doled out to them It
has been contended that the primary presentation of the college understudies to the
scholastic investigations and to the very bureaucratic college regulatory methodology
can likewise cause pressure, since they need to make essential change in accordance
with their social condition too. Some college understudies are regularly focused on due
to relational associations with friend and they encounter extensive trouble when
attempting to acclimate to the college informal community.
The change issue might be viewed as a noteworthy issue for the college
understudies. Keinan and Perlberg (2000) contend that the sentiments of
dissatisfaction, tension, and despondency are among the potential outcomes of high
level of stress. They likewise asserted that paying little heed to year of tutoring or sex,
college understudies confront a great deal of weight with respect to monetary
challenges, over the top class remaining task at hand, new obligations, change in
different sort of propensities, time the board, and finding a potential life accomplice.
Mckean et al. (2000) keep up that stressors alone don't deliver nervousness,
melancholy or pressures. Rather, the communication among stressors and the
individual's discernment and the response to these stressors cause pressure. Ecological
pressure happens because of natural upgrades or requests captured by an individual
that are surpassing his or her capacity to manage them.
Radcliff and Lester's (2003) contemplates on the apparent worry among definite
year therapeutic college understudies uncovered that the most distressing
circumstances for understudies were the unreasonable class remaining task at hand,
the socialization weight, the absence of direction, and progress times of change. The
few investigations that explicitly identify with the wellsprings of scholarly pressure are
fairly constrained. Zedner's (1992) thinks about evaluated the view of significant
wellsprings of scholarly worry among 184 Jewish and 209 Arab college understudies in
a noteworthy college in Israel. The examinations managed socio-social and sex
aggregate contrasts. In addition, the investigation of Keinan and Perlberg (1986)

concentrated on the wellsprings of worry among college speakers. In any case, this
investigation took an explicit point of view, which vary from Zeidner (1992), and Perlberg
and Keinan (1986), which investigated the distinctions in impression of potential
wellsprings of worry among college understudies (age, school year, staff and sex).
It is additionally referred to by Espinosa, M. C. (2018) that interminable trouble
in dozing and powerlessness to center at work, school or in some other part of life can
be early indications of an approaching psychological sickness, and individuals who
encounter this are encouraged to see a specialist promptly. Dr. Dreiza Hakim Castillo, a
specialist at the Zamboanga City Medical Center (ZCMC) exhorts individuals who
encounter these side effects that incorporate serious dejection to quickly look for expert
help. "There is not something to be embarrassed about," she clarifies. "A great many
people would feel that these signs are ordinary, yet gradually, in total they can turn out
to be extremely harming." Meanwhile, the therapeutic culture has developed
increasingly more worried over the rising instances of suicides particularly among the
adolescent, incorporating into Zamboanga City. In light of specialists' conclusion,
adolescent suicide and sorrow are not kidding issues that families and school experts
need to investigate, especially on the preventive side. Dr. Castillo clarifies internet
based life, as far as it matters for its raises certain individual principles, here and there
to extraordinary dimensions. Online networking could impact teenagers to make
unreasonable desires for themselves and naturally intensify solid negative feelings, for
example, forlornness, envy, outrage and others. All things considered, Dr. Castillo calls
for increasingly emotional well-being delicate schools. "We have to instruct the
educators to assess and help their understudies who hint at early psychological
maladjustment."
As indicated by Polinar, R. O. (2017), "Young people should be treated as an
unmistakable piece of our populace and it is vital to acknowledge and address their
wellbeing and way of life issues," Dr. Nailes said. In helping young people carry on with
a rationally more advantageous life, Dr. Nailes stressed the indispensable job that
families play. Psychological well-being concerns no explicit life organize. As ahead of
schedule as youth or immaturity, people may as of now experience the ill effects of
extreme tension and dejection. Indeed, information from the World Health Organization
(WHO) uncovered that 10-20% of youngsters and youths encounter some type of
psychological sicknesses which are caused by a few variables, including way of life.
Results uncovered generally high scores on social help and stress the executives
featuring that 80-90% of the respondents have a positive association with their folks and
additionally with their instructors and companions. As per Dr. Nailes, this shows a
positive social help measurement wherein the majority of the teenagers are fit for
adapting up to worry as they have family and companions to whom they can turn while
encountering issues. Greater part of the respondents additionally expressed that they
have some type of despondency. As per Dr. Nailes, the discoveries were reliable with
the World Health Organization (WHO) ponder entitled "Wellbeing for the World's
Adolescents" which uncovered that dejection is the overwhelming reason for sickness
and handicap for both young men and young ladies matured 10 to 19 years of age.
As for Salvacion (2004) examined the pressure profile of understudies in the
College of Dentistry of the University of the Philippines, Manila. The investigation

included 149 dentistry understudy respondents. Scholarly stressors like examinations
and grades, completely stacked days, trouble in finishing clinical prerequisites, and
dread of getting deferred topped the distinguished stressors. Scholastic variables were
unpleasant in the initial multiyear levels. Scholastic pressure crested amid the
sophomore year. No critical contrasts in rankings were seen between sexual
orientations. There was verifiable similitude in the general pressure profile of the
distinctive year levels. Normal techniques for adapting to pressure were utilized by
understudies which incorporate crying, asking, talking, watching motion pictures, and
tuning in to music. Stress represents the moment of truth an individual. It resembles a
two-edged sword which can either propel or animate an understudy to crest
Sources of Stress
Bernstein et al. (2008) characterize the wellsprings of worry as each condition
or occasion that undermines to disturb individuals' day by day working and makes them
make modifications. These wellsprings of stress are classified "Stressors."
Stressors are requests made by the inward or outside condition that annoyed
parity, along these lines influencing physical and mental prosperity and expecting
activity to reestablish harmony. Be that as it may, they vary from the level of
seriousness and term of pressure; what is upsetting for an individual may not be a
stressor for another.
For instance, missing a few addresses might be distressing for the principal
year college understudies, however may not be upsetting for another understudy
contingent upon his or her level of desires. Taking his last test of the year or sitting in
surge hour traffic isn't equal to being assaulted by a furious Lion, where high excitement
could encourage battling or feeling. Calamitous occasions, real life changes, and every
day bothers are viewed as significant classes of stressors that make requests to which
individuals must modify.
According to Mental Health Awareness (2018) that there are numerous
things that can prompt stress. The demise of a friend or family member,
separate/division, losing an occupation and surprising cash issues and many more. In
any case, not all life occasions are negative and even positive life changes, like moving
to a greater house, picking up an occupation advancement or going on vacation can be
a source of stress. Some of the predetermined stress are emotional, behavioral and
physical stressor. Emotional stressor is when you are focused on you may encounter a
wide range of emotions, including tension, dread, outrage, pity, or disappointment.
These sentiments can at times feed on one another and produce physical
manifestations, exacerbating you feel even. For a few people, unpleasant life occasions
can add to side effects of depression. Behavioral stress when you behave differently
than your usual ways. Just like being frequently hesitant or unbendable; unable to rest
properly; You might be fractious or weepy. Some turn to smoking, devouring more
liquor, or taking medications. Stress can make you feel angrier or more forceful than
typical. Stress may likewise influence the manner in which we cooperate with our
nearby family and companions. And physical is when a few people begin to encounter
cerebral pains, queasiness and acid reflux. You may inhale more rapidly, sweat more,
have palpitations or experience the ill effects of different a throbbing painfulness.

It is also stated by Dina Indelicato (2018) that emotional stress is certainly
not a clearly labelled phenomenon It's a wide scope of issues and can go the whole
distance, from having a couple down days to an increasingly incessant condition. Note,
that in case you're having a few down days you didn’t need to promptly pull on the bell
or go see your doctor. In spite of the fact that we may endeavor to be constantly happy,
that is not quite we're built We can't generally be glad and we will have down periods
and minutes where we struggle. In the meantime, in case you're feeling you've been
anxious for quite a while now without truly feeling you've possessed the capacity to get
your head above water, at that point it may be a great opportunity to make a move.
According to Maxliving (2018) Some stress goes away, it may even make
you more grounded or stronger. Some also sticks around long after its welcome. It can
undermine your well-being and satisfaction. Stress comes in various "flavors," including
traumatic, physical, and the most widely recognized, emotional stress. It’s effects are
more similar to sorrow and depression. With its persistence, you may lose or put on
weight. You may see rest changes. You possibly feel distracted and struggle with
constant mood swings. Obviously, these emotions and changes can sabotage your life
and your satisfaction. Different indications of Emotional stress incorporates uneasiness,
having memory slips, feeling exhausted and worn out, staying away from loved ones,
not being in the state of mind, and mood swings. Everybody feels those things once in a
while, however when you continually feel worn out, on edge, or need to segregate
yourself from others, those can be signs that it has overwhelmed your life. Furthermore,
that is nothing to trifle with.

It is stated by Erin Olivo Ph.D. (2014) that there are Stress fueled by fear
and stress fueled by anger and a lot more significantly increasing unique stressors. Our
stress and the related issues, came from feelings that are being disregarded, denied,
misjudged, smothered, or just inadequately dealt with. Troubling feelings, when they
aren't dealt with beneficially, are at the base of the majority of your most basic issues,
including indulging, incessant relationship struggle, cash bungle, substance misuse, and
even, much of the time, poor physical well-being. In any case, when you can
understand your feelings, you can understand your issues and stress itself. At that point
you can impact a start to finish change in each part of your life through the decisions
you make each day.
Auerbach and Gramling (2000) see catastrophes as a sudden life threatening
cataclysm or catastrophe that reason people to be not able adapt to it. For example,
wars, surges, sea tempests, fires, seismic tremors, rapes and tornadoes are regular
disasters. Significant life changes (e.g., losing an occupation, separate, sickness,
demise of a companion of relative, and detainment) can be viewed as unpleasant
circumstances for each grown-up. Most pressure individuals’ involvement in their
regular day to day existences is caused by day by day bothers.
Day by day bothers can likewise be seen as the disturbances, weights, and
irritations that probably won't be noteworthy stressors independent from anyone else
however whose aggregate impacts can be critical. This can be identified with people's
occupations, regular living conditions and individual connections (Bernstein et al.,
2008).
As indicated by Ansis, J. (2017) From more than 200 respondents, around 23
percent refered to their activity or concentrates as their fundamental wellspring of
stress. An expansive offer of the 23 percent said they encounter pressure as a result of
their managers or chiefs. One male per user addressed "poor administration at work."
Others pointed the finger at it on employment requests, for example, "due dates" and
"being behind calendar," while some credited it to their colleagues. In the interim, very
nearly 15 percent said being stuck in rush hour gridlock gave them a lot of pressure.
"The horrendous traffic, the surges, the ceaseless lasting through the year street fixes,"
brought up one per user. Someone else raged about insubordinate drivers or
"individuals who don't pursue rules."
Likewise, it is expressed by Dawson, J. (2018) that the quicker the pace of
our lives, the more stressors we are presented to consistently. Amid an online survey
directed by CNN towards the end of 2017, the same number of as 23% of respondents
in the Philippines referred to their occupations and concentrates as the primary
wellspring of worry in their lives. Study-related pressure shows itself in different ways
and can be ascribed to various conditions extending from absence of time the board to
issues relating to the scholarly outstanding task at hand. While upsetting circumstances
can turn out to be progressively challenging to manage, most stressors can be reduced
through early recognizable proof and viable mediation.
Effects of Stress
It has been contended that an individual can have restless considerations,
trouble to think or recall due to being focused. Stress can lead additionally to change in
individuals' practices, for example, nail gnawing, overwhelming breathing, teeth holding
and hand wringing. At the point when individuals are focused on, they may feel chilly
hands and feet, butterflies in stomach, and in some cases expanded pulse, which all are
viewed as regular physiological impacts of pressure, which can be associated with
feeling of tension (Auerbach and Gramling, 2000).
Physical and mental reactions to stretch for the most part happen together, chiefly
when stressors turn out to be increasingly serious. In any case, one class of pressure
reactions can impact different reactions. For example, gentle chest torment may prompt
the mental pressure reaction of stressing over getting a heart assault. Physical
reactions can be the point at which an individual getaway from an awful mishap or some
other terrifying occasions, the person will encounter fast breathing, expanded heart
thumping, perspiring, and notwithstanding shaking minimal later. These responses are a
piece of a general example known as the battle or-flight disorder. The mental reactions
to stress can show up as changes in feelings, contemplations (discernment), and
practices (Bernstein et al., 2008).
As indicated by Duque (2007) he referred to some basic impacts of pressure.
These are sleep deprivation, cerebral pains, spinal pains, blockage, looseness of the
bowels, hypertension, coronary illness, sorrow and liquor, tobacco or medication use.
He proposed doing the accompanying: 1) After observing the specialist, share your
treatment plan with individuals near you. Converse with companions and relatives and
clarify what you are experiencing; 2) If your specialist recommended drug take it
precisely the manner in which it is endorsed. Try not to quit taking your medicine until
the point when specialist instructs you to quit doing as such; 3) Keep all subsequent
meetings with your specialist; 4) Remember that it might require some investment to
begin feeling good; 5) If you encounter reactions from any drug, tell your specialist; and
6) Seek proficient directing. In the event that your strategies for adapting pressure are
not adding to your more prominent enthusiastic and physical wellbeing, the time has
come to discover more advantageous ones. There are numerous sound approaches to
oversee and adapt to pressure, however they all require change. You can either change
the circumstance or change your response. When choosing which alternative to pick, it
is useful to think about the four A's: stay away from, modify, adjust, or acknowledge.
Since everybody has one of a kind reaction to worry, there is no "one size fits all"
answer for overseeing it. No single strategy works for everybody or in each
circumstance, so explore different avenues regarding distinctive methods and
methodologies. Concentrate on what makes you feel quiet and in charge.
Coping with Stress
Stress does not influence all individuals similarly, but rather stress can prompt
sickness and negative encounters. Adapting to pressure is in this way an imperative
factor, it influences whether and how individuals scan for therapeutic consideration and
social help and how they trust the exhortation of the experts (Passer and Smith 2007).
It is expressed by Labon, C. (2018), that looking for help is an indication of
solidarity, not a shortcoming. Also, recollect that treatment is successful. Individuals
who get proper consideration can recoup from psychological instability and enslavement
and lead full, compensating lives. Beside treatments, recovery and other therapeutic
treatment, a straightforward discussion and comprehension from the general public
towards individuals who have psychological well-being issues could contribute
significantly to break this shame. Yet at the same time, spreading mindfulness isn't
sufficient. The time we, more than any other individual, battle the living evil presences
inside ourselves. We are the one in charge of keeping and following our psychological
security solid, and the general population around us will just fill in as our emotionally
supportive network amid this fight. In spite of the fact that the administration should in
any case apply much exertion on bolstering the general public the data and the
administrations they require so as to win the battle against dysfunctional behaviors. This
is our opportunity to assist individuals with their passionate necessities and make the
general population happy with talking about the touchy issue. This plainly uncovers how
we should be open and mindful of discussing these issues and why we ought not mess
with it. It is a major issue looked by Filipinos and an issue that must be given much
significance. This is a battle not just for individuals who are determined to have such
illnesses yet additionally to individuals who will enable them to traverse it.
As per Grandea (2006) utilized an elucidating research approach in concentrate
the pressure and way of dealing with stress of school first year recruits of Southville
International School and Colleges. It included 201 understudy respondents. The
understudy respondents experienced high seen pressure. The distinguished principle
stressors were scholastics. The understudy respondents utilized positive pressure
method for dealing with stress. The apparent pressure and ways of dealing with stress
of the understudy respondents were autonomous of their profile.
Academic Performance
As shown by Ong, et al. (2009) We can unfaltering the understudy's insightful
achievements by their presentations in their foundations, their activities and
assignments done in classes, presentations they give and outcomes of their tests.
Research have been lead in order to review the relationship among stress and
academic execution of understudies and it has been found that weight impacts the
insightful shows of understudies in unfathomable way. Understudies grumbled about the
weight they feel while giving their tests or any resistance concerning grades or in any
case when they have such an extraordinary add up to look at and less time to do it.
They express that it really impacts their execution of work. One examination uncovered
that stress among student business understudies is a conspicuously basic factor which
is interrelated with poor execution. An investigation found that understudy's outlook
towards the learning of working ethics is related to the academic execution and
achievements.
It is also found, that assurance measurement of understudies in themselves in
regards to scholastics and their managerial limits as how they manage their insightful
residual weight impacts their academic execution. Understudies who are coming to
schools and universities for simply master results importance to arrive the position, and
increase incredible money will have exceptionally astonishing thinking and strategies
inside the classes and in the midst of their examinations since they will go to it for their
own understanding enhancement. The system for the anchoring of preparing with so
much motivation transcendently impacts their educational execution and achievement
Additionally, family's craving can be a central point that can impact the motivation
measurement of understudy on their academic shows and they ought to be considered
as a basic point as mindset towards guidance.
An examination by Mishra and Koehler (2009), assessed a basic association of
academic execution with learning level among the understudies of optional school on
sexual introduction preface, and found that the relationship among knowledge of an
understudy and educational execution of them is higher among young women. They
moreover found that money related status isn't impacting the understudy's academic
execution strikingly among young fellows and young women, and that the educational
execution of urban young women and young fellows are higher than that of common
ones. They came to fruition as a result of their examination that educational execution
and achievements of young women are impressively superior to that young fellows.
Concerning Nordqvist, (2009) Anything which speaks to a type of risk and test
upon us is known as weight. We use the word stress in such conditions when we feel
"it's too much". We start to think it is conceivable that we will have the ability to manage
the rest of the main job or situation. Stress is a reality which we have to look in our
customary everyday presence. There are conditions when we start to understand
ourselves of help and start to bother openly and distinctive stressors. Various people
consider stress as a scene come to pass, for instance, harm or occupation mishap.
Others think weight is a type of changes which happen to our physical body, direct and
mind or over contemplations about condition.
Besides, as communicated by Center (2010) Any condition which causes
frustration can in like manner be explanation behind weight. Everyone have
unmistakable inclination and capacities so their style of managing the conditions could
moreover differentiation and it is same for sentiment of nervousness for each person. It
is possible nervousness will be differing for two individuals which are going up against
extra conditions. It depends whereupon kind of stressors impacts them both. Stress isn't
an extraordinary thing it is just the bit of our step by step life. In addition, even it is
advantageous for us if its entirety isn't exorbitantly. It can upgrade our motivation and
moreover help us with enhancing our gainfulness. It depends upon how we saw about
weight. It depends how we react against it, it can impact us unfavorably as well and in
case we for the most part react or respond conversely against weight it in like manner
could impact our prosperity and satisfaction.

Theoretical Lens/Framework
Since stress is one of the most interesting, broad and mysterious subjects, its
study is not only limited to what happens to the body during a stressful situation, but
also to what occurs in the psyche of an individual. And with that we have three (3)
psychological theories of stress proposed by James & Lange, Cannon & Brad, and
Schachter & Singer.

According to Sincero (2010) she cited that James & Lange (1884) theory of
stress is called Theory of Emotion. have separately proposed their respective theories
on the correlation of stress and emotion, but they had a unified idea on this relationship
- emotions do not immediately succeed the perception of the stressor or the stressful
event; they become present after the body’s response to the stress. For instance, when
you see a growling dog, your heart starts to race, your breath begins to go faster, then
your eyes become wide open. According to James and Lange, the feeling of fear or any
other emotion only begins after you experience these bodily changes. This means that
the emotional behavior is not possible to occur unless it is connected to one’s brain.
She also cited another theory of stress made discovered by Cannon and Bard
which is called The Emergency Theory. That emotion in response to stress can actually
occur even when the bodily changes are not present. Cannon said that the visceral or
internal physiologic response of one’s body is more slowly recognized by the brain as
compared with its function to release emotional response. that a lower brain stem
structure called the thalamus is important in the production of emotional responses.
According to Bard, the emotional response is released first, and then sent as signals by
the thalamus to the brain cortex for the interpretation alongside with the sending of
signals to the sympathetic nervous system or SNS to begin the physiologic response to
stress. Therefore, this theory argues that emotional response to stress is not a product
of the physiologic response; rather, they occur simultaneously.
And lastly she cited the Schatchter-Singer Theory. that the appropriate
identification of the emotion requires both cognitive activity and emotional arousal in
order to experience an emotion. Attribution, or the process wherein the brain can
identify the stress stimulus producing an emotion. And that we become aware of the
reason behind the emotional response, and when we the reason is not obvious, we start
to look for environmental clues for the proper interpretation of the emotion to occur.
Statement of the Problem
As the proponent stated the apprehension, bounds, discernment and goals why
conduct this kind of study, the research questions below will guide and help in
discerning and achieving the purpose and goal.
1.What is the profile of the Senior High school students in Ateneo de davao University
with respect to:
1.1 Strands
2. What is the level of perceived stress that the students are experiencing in terms of:
1.1 Physical Indicators
1.2 Sleep Indicators
1.3 Behavior Indicators
1.4 Emotional Indicators
1.5 Personal Habits
3. Is there a significant relationship between the levels of perceived stress of students
from different strands?
4. Is there a significant relationship between the level of perceived stress of students
and their academic performance?
Research Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &
Wallen, 2009). Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the
investigator makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship
among attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012). And with that, the Null Hypothesis
of this study is that there is no significant relationship between perceived stress and
students’ academic performance in Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School.
Significance of the Study
This study aims to distinguish the effects of perceived stress on students’
academic performance and whatever the results that will be revealed in this study may
benefit certain groups and the benefits they may be able to gain are as follows:
To the students. They will be able to use this study as awareness in order to be
knowledgeable at which level of stress they are in and to know the kinds of stress that
they are facing. Students will be able to understand different perspectives from different
classes. And it will inspire, enlighten and be beneficial to them in a way that it will serve
as their basis or standard of their goal or motivations to try and avoid or prevent this
kind of stress; that even though knowing perceived stress is a strong external factor to
academic performance, they will still pursue in reaching their goal despite its
contribution to obstacles and struggles in life.
To the future researchers. The results or findings of this study will be serving a
good source of accurate and useful information for them. It can also be a basis for them
in ever there are more types of perceived stress that can relate or connect to their future
related studies in different locale. And they may extend the prior knowledge with the
information given, if ever they might’ve like to deepen the understanding and ideas in
regards to the effects of perceived stress on students’ academic performance itself.
To the school administrators. They will be gaining insights in regard to the
perceived stress that has been happening inside the institution. For them to gain
knowledge prior to this psychological issue. And to be aware with it that may result to
give them ideas and a push for them to try in solving such issue.
This study revolves on the idea in constructing a quantitative measure of effects
of perceived stress for the students who have claimed to have experienced stress in
their academic life, to understand better and determine the beliefs and impacts of
academic stress through the students’ perceptions among selected senior high school
students in Ateneo de Davao University. The current research highlights the need for
continuous investigation of impacts related to perceived stress, especially in terms of its
relationship to academic performance among Ateneo de Davao University Senior high
school students.
Furthermore, the main beneficiaries of this study are the students itself. For
them to be fully aware of the academic stress level they are in. And for parents,
teachers and administrators to gain knowledge on how the respondents cope up with
the perceived academic stress in dealing with their academic performance to further
maximize the ideas and broaden the concept of overcoming such difficulties in having
academic stress with academic performances.
Scope and Delimitation

The study aims to determine the effects of perceived stress on senior high
school students’ academic performance in Ateneo de Davao University upon testing the
significance between the two constructs among students which are the perceived stress
and their own academic performance. The perceived academic stress in our study
focuses on the personal and behavioral aspects of the students.
The respondents were only bonafide Ateneo de Davao University Senior
High School Grade 12 Students, in which 200 out of 2,000 Grade 12 senior high school
students were selected to participate in the survey for this study. All of the selected
participants claimed that they have experienced academic stress. There were no
parents involved in the conducting of survey.

CHAPTER 2
This chapter includes the research design, the sample, the instruments, the
data collection procedure, and the plan for data analysis.
Research Design
This study aims to utilize the descriptive design wherein using the descriptive-
correlational method. This method is used in order to determine if there is a significant
relationship between the internet usage and academic performance of students in
Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School. It is both descriptive and correlational
for Descriptive research is a kind of research designed to give information, a textual
information about the topic, variables and the rest. And Correlational in a way for it is
used to discover relationships among different variables and to allow the prediction of
future events from present knowledge which is the Perceived Stress and Academic
Performance as the variables and its result will be the prediction of the aftereffect it
gives to the student or respondents that predicts his or her future events.
It is a descriptive correlational study designed to examine the relationship
between perceived stress and academic performance. This study was a retrospective
chart review of students of Grade 12 Ateneo de Davao Senior High School from their
First semester experience of perceived stress and its impact to their academic
performance. The aim of this study was to examine the level of perceived stress that
the students are experiencing in terms of: Physical Indicators; Sleep Indicators;
Behavior Indicators; Emotional Indicators; and Personal Habits using the Stress
Indicator Questionnaire (SIQ). Also to depict the significant relationship between the
levels of perceived stress of students from different strands using the Perceived Stress
Scale (PSS). And to know if there is a significant relationship between the level of
perceived stress of students and their academic performance. All of it to be examined
through a combination of both PSS and SIQ to produce a structures, combined
adopted questionnaire. Statistical analysis includes mean and Pearson r, using the
software Microsoft Excel and JASP for checking and re-evaluation of statistics.
The Sample
The respondents of the study are only bonafide Ateneo de Davao University
Senior High School Grade 12 Students, in which 200 out of 2,000 Grade 12 senior high
school students were selected to participate in the survey for this study. All of the
selected participants claimed that they have experienced academic stress. Out of the
200 respondents, there will be 5 divisions which are the strands of the Grade 12
students. 40 will come from the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) Strand specifically from the Pre-Science, 40 will also come from the STEM
strand specifically the Pre-Engineering and Architecture, and another 40 students will
come from STEM strand specifically from the Pre-Computer Science. Another set of 40
will come from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand. And the last set of
40 respondents will come from the Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)
Strand. Overall, there will be 200 respondents for this study to have a proportional
distribution of survey questionnaires to come up with a reliable conclusion.
The study was conducted from the months of November to February, School
year 2018-2019. The study took place at Ateneo de Davao University. Specifically in the
Grade 12 Senior High School department. This school offers quality education and have
different kinds of learners within it. Each student in this school comes from different and
various environments as well as their perceptions with academics.
The Instrument(s)
This refers to the questionnaire or data gathering tool to be constructed,
validated and administered (Creswell, 2012).
For efficient and reliable data collection, questionnaires were used to convene
the required data for the study. The researchers utilized two adopted and adapted
questionnaires for the survey. It aims to draw out the appropriate answers or
responses to the purposes or objectives. A 2-page structured, combined questionnaire
was developed by the researchers as a mode of data collection. The questionnaire
consists of of three sections, students’ profile; Adapted Perceived Stress Scale (PSS);
and Adapted Stress Stress Indicator Questionnaire.
In section A, the respondents will be asked to furnish demographic information
of to which Strand they belong in Senior High School and also their General academic
average. Furthermore, the questions deciphered in Section B were intended to
measure the student’s perception of stress using the PSS developed by Cohen,
Kamarck, and Mermelstein (1983), using a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1
(Never) to 4 (Very Often). The 14-item self-report instruments really demonstrated
reputable validity and reliability (Cohen et al., 1983). The PSS scores were obtained
by reversing the scores on the six negative items (e.g., 1=5, 2=4, 3=3, 4=2, 5=1) and
then summing across all items. Items 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 13 are positive
statement items. Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher
scores indicating higher perceived stress and lower scores indicating lower perceived
stress at that particular point of time.
Scale Description Interpretation
4 Very Often High Perceived Stress
3 Fairly Often Moderate Perceived

2 Sometimes Stress
1 Almost Never
Low Perceived Stress
0 Never
The statements indicated in the items can be easily understood and very
general in nature that they are free of content. With this in hand, it is easy to come up
with a score and can be produced or administered within a short period of time. The
direction to compute for PSS is as follows:
First, reverse your scores for questions 4, 5, 7, and 8. On these 4 questions,
change the scores like• this: 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1, 4 = 0. And then add across all
items. With that in hand, after adding up the scores for each item to get a total,
individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating
higher perceived stress.
► Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress.
► Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress.
► Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

In Section C, the Stress Factor Survey will be used to determine the sources of
stress which is known as the stressors, which will be able to find that influences the
academic performance of students. This section requires the participants to identify
the factors of stress that they encounter or experience during the given period. Five
(5) factors of stress were chosen by the researchers as adapted to the Stress
Indicator Questionnaire (SIQ) (The Counseling Team International, n.d.). With that,
the respondents may indicate more than one factor which they perceive as relevant to
them. Due to the nominal scale to be ideally used, descriptive statistics using
percentage will be used to explain the percentage of each stress factor in during their
whole Grade 12 first semester experience. The total score of each indicator will
indicate its level or description about stress.

With that in hand, in order to determine the correlation between the independent
and dependent variables, the Perceives stress level and academic performance, were
illustrated using the Pearson-r Correlation, one of some quantitative ways in order to
measure the strength of correlation that is indicated by the coefficient of r, which will rely
on the following scale of interpretation (Coolidge, n.d.):
Scores Interpretation
±1 Perfect Correlation
±0.75 to < ±1 Very High Correlation
±0.50 to < ±0.75 Moderately High Correlation
±0.25 to < ±.50 Moderately Low Correlation
> 0 to < ±0.25 Very Low Correlation
0 No Correlation
As the correlation coefficient approaches r = +1.00 (or greater than r = +.50), it
can be translated that there is a strong positive or high degree of relationship between
two variables. In other words, the higher the score of the respondent on one variable,
the higher the score will be on the other variable and vice versa. When the correlation
reaches r = -1.00 (or less than r = -.50), it can be said that there is a strong negative or
low degree of relationship. In such way that the higher the score of the respondent on
one variable, the lower the score will be on the other variable and vice versa. The
Pearson coefficient r is obtained from a drawing sample from the population. The
formula for r in Microsoft Excel 2016 is as follows:
Where:
 are the sample means average or mean (Array 1 of Independent
variable) and average or mean (Array 2 of dependent variable)
. And with the use of the software Microsoft Excel and JASP application, the
answered questionnaires as the data will be checked, analyzed and tabulated
according to the research design, in order to come up with the answers to our
problems.
Data Collection Procedure
The following procedures will be used by the researchers in order to collect and
gather data needed for the study:
1.) Seeking Permission to Conduct the Study. The letter of permission will be
sought for an approval from the school principal. With an approval from the Office of
Academics, HUMSS office and the research teacher. The researchers will coordinate
with the ADA and HUMSS office of the schools for the gathering some of the
demographic data for accuracy.

2.) Administration and Retrieval of the Questionnaires. On the scheduled date the
researchers will be gathered in one room. The questionnaires will be distributed to
them by the leader to assess the level of stress. Then they will be randomly ask 40
students from the three (3) major academic strands but having STEM with 3 sub
strands which makes it students from 5 strands to answer the questionnaires. Before
the respondents will answer the questionnaires the researchers will explain the
directions clearly and elaborate those terms that need to be clarified to ensure that the
needed data would be gathered. After the questionnaires had been complied the
researchers will collect them to ensure one hundred percent retrieval.
3.) Checking, Collating and Processing of Data. Each questionnaire will be checked,
the response and rating will be collated and subjected with the appropriate statistical
tools to obtain the result of the study. The results will be tabulated in excel and
subjected for statistical treatment. The tabulated data will be analyzed to answer the
problems raised in the first chapter of the study.
Data Analysis
This section indicates how the data will be analyzed and reported; it should
specify the qualitative and/or quantitative methods that will be used in analyzing the
data gathered for the research.
After Data Collection, the researchers will assess the survey questions on the
effect of Stress on Students’ Academic Performance in Ateneo de Davao University
Senior High School by cross tabulating and filtering the results based on the research
questions. With the decided sample of 200, the researchers will be using the
Statistical Tools such as;
Mean to identify the perceived stress level of the respondents towards their
academic performance by using the mean scores of the respondents’ answers and use
to dignify accordingly the average mean score of the independent and dependent
variables. Pearson-r coefficient of correlation to measure the correlation between the
perceived stress level and academic performance by analyzing the degree or extent to
which the two variables fluctuate with reference to each other. Tables to visually show
the contrasts and comparisons among the results of the surveys. After assessing the
results, the researchers will divide the tasks for each member to validate the data for its
content.
When all the data are validated and have met the criteria of the study, the
research will begin by crunching down the numbers of the collected data, drawing
possible conclusions that are selected based on the appropriate scheme and describe
them thoroughly in relation to the research questions of the study. Since the Stress
indicator questionnaire, and Perceived stress scale are adapted, which is used in the
context of the study, it is valid and proper. The results will be referencing and
compared to the statistical results of related studies to have a clear and strong
foundation for the conclusion.
Ethical Consideration
Graciano and Raulin (2004) considered ethical consideration as the integral part
of the research design process. Silverman (2007) added that ethical considerations can
be clarified by consulting the ethical guidelines of one’s professional association. After

identifying, the researchers sent a letter of permission to the school director. The
informants weren’t informed so that conversation will be authentic and personal which is
the much needed phenomenon in the study. If the researchers will ask the consent of
the informants, their conversation will be limited and they might be careful of their
discourses. It would be more harmonious having the permission of the participants.
After the researcher gathered the data, the informants were informed about the study
and even discussed the findings.
The names of the participants in this study is just optional for them to be revealed
in order for them to have the freedom if they wanted confidentiality or not with their
identity. To observe ethical consideration, the result and findings of the study were
shown back to the informants. This gave them the opportunity to see how important
they were in the study. The participants signed the verification letter. Contained that the
answers they put on the survey-questionnaires are all be consider as their own and they
will be accountable and reliable with it.

CHAPTER 3
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
In reporting the results, the researcher stays close to the statistical findings
without drawing broader implications or meaning from them. Further, this section
includes summaries of the data rather than the raw data (e.g., the actual scores for
individuals). A results section include tables, figures, and detailed explanations about
the statistical results.

Figure 1 and Table 1 shows that there are 40 respondents per strand (ABM,
HUMSS and STEM) and the STEM’s sub strands. Data were gathered randomly in a
stratified sense for the stranding purposes. 20% each strand and sub strand were the
respondents to have the 10% basis of sample size from its population size which is
2,000 leaving us having the 0.10 of it is 200 divided into 5 strands/sub strands. Giving
us 40 respondents each.

Table 2 shows that, according to the SIQ scale, there is a High Perceived Stress
on Humanities and Social Sciences Students in terms of Physical Indicator, Sleep
Indicator, Behavioural Indicator and Personal Habits. But Emotional Indicator is the
highest of the rest having the mean score of 4.575 that gives an equivalent of Very
High Perceived Stress in this indicator. This implies that the most relevant cause of
perceived stress for students in HUMSS strand is because of emotional factors. With
this in hand, it supported the statement of Erin Olivia Ph.D. (2014) that stress and the
related problems, were all originate from feelings that are being disregarded, denied,
misjudged, smothered, or just ineffectively dealt with. Your troubling feelings, when
they aren't dealt with beneficially, are at the root of the majority of your most common
issues, including gorging, unending relationship struggle, cash fumble, substance
misuse, and even, by and large, poor physical well-being. With that in hand, majority of
the respondents coming from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand
have a moderate stress level, and that Emotional indicators are the dominant indicator
of stress for them out of the five indicators.

Table 3 shows that, according to the SIQ scale, there is a Medium Perceived
Stress on STEM Pre Science Students in terms of Behavioural Indicator. High
Perceived Stress for the Sleep Indicator and Personal Habits. While Physical and
Emotional Indicator implies Very High Perceived Stress. But the Emotional Indicator is
higher than the Physical, giving the highest mean score of 4.325. This implies that the
most relevant cause of perceived stress for students in STEM Pre Science strand is
because of emotional factors. With this, Maxliving (2018) stated that stress comes in
various "flavors," including traumatic, physical, and the most widely recognized,
emotional. Due for its prevalent occurrence, it happens so normally. Its effects are like
discouragement or depression. With constant emotional stress, people might lose or
put on weight; see rest changes; possibly feel detached or isolated and struggle with
mood swings. Obviously, these emotions and changes has a possibility of sabotaging
your life and your happiness. With this in hand, majority of the respondents coming
from the STEM Pre Science have a moderate stress level, and we can say that
Emotional indicators are the dominant indicator of stress for them out of the five
indicators.

Indicator, Behavioural Indicator and Personal Habits. While Physical and Emotional
Indicator are indicating Very High Perceived Stress. But the Physical Indicator is higher
than the Emotional, giving the highest mean score of 4.225. This implies that the most
relevant cause of perceived stress for students in STEM Pre Engineering and
Architecture strand is because of physical factors. With that, since Pre EA students are
known to use pens, rulers, pencils and many more tools that is connected to their
desired course, with that in hand, according to WebMD (2018), it depends on how you
handle stress will determine your stress level, but since you are feeling pain or tension
in your head, chest, stomach or muscles, have digestive problems, reproductive
problems, changes in your heart rate and blood pressure and a lot more different
physical changes, it is stated that it is because of physical stress. With that in hand,
majority of the respondents coming from the STEM Pre Engineering and Architecture
have a very high stress level, we can say that Physical indicators are the dominant
indicator of stress for them out of the five indicators.

on STEM Computer Studies Strand Students in terms of Physical Indicator, Emotional
Indicator and Personal Habits. While Physical and Sleep Indicator are indicating Very
High Perceived Stress. But the Physical Indicator is higher than Sleep, giving the
highest mean score of 4.1. This implies that the most relevant cause of perceived stress
for students in STEM Pre Computer Studies strand is because of physical factors. With
that in hand, knowing that the STEM Pre Computer Studies uses computers, gadgets
and other electronics that uses physical attributes in order to use or perform it,
according to Adamo S.A. (2014), some people encounter nausea, headaches,
migraines, queasiness and acid reflux since it somehow triggers stress. You may inhale
more rapidly, sweat more, have palpitations or experience ill effects of different pain and
aches. Due to too much usage of the body, it will eventually burn out. With that in hand,
majority of the respondents coming from the STEM Pre Computer Studies have a
moderate stress level, we can say that Physical indicators are the dominant indicator of
stress for them out of the five indicators.

on Accountancy, Business and Management Strand Students in terms of Behavioural
Indicator and Personal Habits. While Physical, Sleep and Emotional Indicators are
indicating Very High Perceived Stress. But the Emotional Indicator is the highest
among the three, giving the highest mean score of 4.5. This implies that the most
relevant cause of perceived stress for students in ABM strand is because of emotional
factors. This in hand supports the statement of Dina Indicato (2018) that there wil
always be a moment in our lives that we feel unhappy but unhappy and having
emotional stress is different, unhappy is just being unsatisfied and is not being
intensely upbeat at the moment, while having emotional stress is when people feel
some weight fluctiations, some temper problems, fatigue, and memory problems.
Knowing these symptoms, it is better to take it into action, ask some help of
profesionals or find it out from the internet. It might be hard to overcome, but what
matters most is that the trial and learn from it in the end. With that in hand, majority of
the respondents coming from the Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM)
Strand have a moderate stress level, we can say that Emotional indicators are the
dominant indicator of stress for them out of the five indicators.

Table 7 and Figure 2 shows the dominant perceived stress indicator per
academic strand from the five (5) indicated indicators of stress. For the Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Pre Computer Studies strand and Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Pre Engineering and Architecture strand, it
is interpreted that their answers in having the Physical indicator as the most dominant
indicator out of the five (5). While for the Humanities and Social Sciences Strand,
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Pre Science strand and
Accountancy, Business and Management strand has the Emotional indicator as their
dominant stress indicator. Indeed, Emotional Indicator is the rampant stressor these
days, as to what the theory of Sincero (2010) stated that in James & Lange (1884)
Theory of Emotion, that their separate speculations on the connection of stress and
emotion had a unified thought on this relationship which is that emotions don't quickly
succeed the view of the stressor; they end up present after the body's reaction to the
pressure. Like when you hear something unusual, your heart begins to race, your
breath starts to go quicker, at that point your eyes turn out to be wide open. As
indicated by James and Lange, the sentiment of fear or some other feeling just starts
after you experience these real changes. This implies that the emotional behavior is
absurd to expect to happen except if it is associated with one's cerebrum. Nonetheless,
it is rampant in students of Ateneo de Davao University with their open emotions and
feelings towards different things. It is also stated in the Emergency Theory of Canon
and Bard by Sincero (2010) that if bodily changes are not present, emotional stressor
actually occurs. With the idea of the students realting thing to another thing, increasing
the idea of its connectivity will give their brain the idea to think more deeply and will
eventually thought of deep ones that will result to overthinking or pessimism. And the
Schatcher-Singer Theory that requires cognitive and emotional arousal in order to

experience emotion was being taken place. It is stated in the questionnaire the things
that the respondents might think of that will indicate their emotional indicator of stress
which in the end got the most of the points wherein gave us the interpretation of having
Emotional Indicator is the dominant perceived stress indicator out of the other
predetermined stress indicators.

Table 8 illustrates that STEM Pre- Engineering and Architecture has the highest

ABM strand having 23.125, 22.575, 22.525, and 22.175 grand mean which resulted to
a moderate stress level. This supports the idea of Stress management Society (2018)
that Stress is not necessarily a bad thing, it is primarily a physical response. When
people feel so burned out and is pressured by adrenaline reactions that diverts blood to
muscles, shutting down unnecessary bodily functions, people tend to focus on how
hard doing such things giving mental, physical and cognitive issues that will lead to
feeling agitated and aggressive.
Table 9, 10 & Figure 3. Distribution of Pearson Correlations, Descriptive Statistics and

Scatter Plot of the correlational relationship between HUMSS Strand’s Perceived
Stress Scale and their Academic Performance General Average during First Semester
Tables 9, 10, & Figure 3 shows that the Perceived stress of the Grade 12
HUMSS learners’ perceived stress mean is 23.13 and its general average mean is
90.37. The standard deviation of the HUMSS learners is a 5.25 level of stress
correlational to the standard deviation of the general average which is 3.63. The results
show that the means scores for their general average grades are relatively distant from
one another. Furthermore, the standard deviation is also branched around their
respective means. Consequently, this shows that the p-value of 0.307, which is higher
than the minimum standard of 0.05, fails to reject the Ho. The Scatter Plot illustrates
that the HUMSS Learner’s Perceived Stress has a moderately positive correlation to
their general average for the 1st semester. In conclusion, it shows that there is a
significant relationship between the variables. This then supports the idea of
Sedgeman (2005) stress management gives you a scope of tools to reset your caution
framework. It can support your brain and body adjusts such as resiliency. Without it,
your body may dependably be on high caution. After some time, ceaseless pressure
can prompt genuine medical issues. Try not to hold up until pressure harms your
wellbeing, connections or personal satisfaction. Stress is an ordinary mental and
physical response to the demands of life. A little measure of pressure can be great,
motivation to perform well. This might be a reason for the non-correlation of stress from
the academic performance of students from HUMSS strand.
Scatter Plot of the correlational relationship between STEM Pre Science Strand’s
Perceived Stress Scale and their Academic Performance General Average during First
Semester
Tables 11, 12 & Figure 4 shows that the Perceived stress of the Grade 12 STEM
Pre-sci learners’ perceived stress mean is 22.57 and its general average mean of
90.30. The standard deviation of the Pre-Sci learners is 5.995 level of stress
correlational to the standard deviation of the general average which is 2.830. The mean
scores in their General average grades are somehow far apart to each other and that
the standard deviation which also shows a disparity in how the scores for the two
groups are spread around their respective means. This reveals the p-value of 0.319
which is higher than the minimum standard p-value is 0.05 in order to reject the Ho.
With that the Scatter plot illustrates that the STEM Pre-Science Learners’ Perceived
Stress has no correlation to their general average for 1st semester. Thus, there is no
significant relationship between the variables. Therefore, the null hypothesis is
accepted. With this in hand, according to McCrory (2007) that there are instances that
the best times lead to worst times. Like students who spent too much time in meeting
and socializing may find themselves skipping classes for it, don’t have time for
assignments. But with time management and study habits, it can ease this roadblock to
academic success. This might be a reason for the non-correlation of stress from the
academic performance of students from STEM Pre-Sci strand.
Scatter Plot of the correlational relationship between STEM Pre Engineering and
Architecture Strand’s Perceived Stress Scale and their Academic Performance
General Average during First Semester

Tables 13, 14 & Figure 6 shows the perceived stress of the Grade 12 STEM
Pre-Engineering Studies perceived stress mean is 27.10 and its general average mean
of 88.22. The standard deviation of the Pre-Engineering Studies learners is 3.868 level
of the stress correlational to the standard deviation of the general average which is
3.746. The general average grades mean scores are relatively to each other.
Furthermore, the standard deviation is also branched around their respective means.
This consequently leads to the discovery of a p-value of 0.543, which is higher than the
minimum standard of 0.05 in order to reject the null hypothesis. This supports the idea
of Walter Cannon (1998) that despite having a high perceived stress from the
perceived stress scale, managing stress is the best way to cope up effectively with
daily pressures. The balance between work, relationship, relaxation and fun. This might
be a reason for the non-correlation of stress from the academic performance of
students from STEM Pre-EA strand.

Scatter Plot of the correlational relationship between STEM Pre Computer Studies
Strand’s Perceived Stress Scale and their Academic Performance General Average
during First Semester
Tables 15, 16 & Figure 6 shows that the perceived stress of the Grade 12 STEM
Pre – Computer Studies perceived stress mean is 22.52 and its general average mean
of 89.43. The standard deviation of the Pre – Computer Studies learners is 6.884 level
of stress correlational to the standard deviation of the general average which is 3.633.
The general average grades mean scores are relatively far from each other.
Furthermore, the standard deviation is also branched around their respective means.
This consequently leads to the discovery of a p-value of 0.562, which is higher than the
minimum standard of 0.05 in order to the reject the null hypothesis. The Scatter Plot
demonstrates that the STEM Pre – Computer Studies Learner’s Perceived Stress has
a moderate negative correlation to their general average for the 1st semester. Thus,
this concludes that there is no significant relationship between the variables, and that
the null hypothesis is accepted. With this in hand, it validates the idea of Watson (2002)
that if the students learned how to identify time-wasting tasks by keeping track of what
they did and going to do, they will notice that these things will only lose their time. It is
recommended by experts that banishing procastination or atleast avoidance of it is a
good management skill to be learned to cope up with stress which the students from
the STEM Pre-Computer Studies observed. This might be a reason for the non-
correlation of stress from the academic performance of students from STEM Pre-CS
strand.

Scale and their Academic Performance General Average during First Semester
Table 17 18 & Figure 7 shows that the perceived stress of the Grade 12
Accountancy, Business and Management Strand perceived stress mean is 22.18 and
its general average mean of 88.79. The standard deviation of the ABM learners is
7.383 level of stress correlational to the standard deviation of the general average
which is 3.837. The general average grades mean scores are relatively far from each
other. Furthermore, the standard deviation is also branched around their respective
means. This consequently leads to the discovery of a p-value of 0.292, which is higher
than the minimum standard of 0.05 in order to the reject the null hypothesis. The
Scatter Plot demonstrates that the ABM Learner’s Perceived Stress has a moderate
negative correlation to their general average for the 1st semester. Thus, this concludes
that there is no significant relationship between the variables, and that the null
hypothesis is accepted. This supports the statement of Watson (2002) that despite
stress, good management skills are effective stress control. To learn how to prioritize
tasks and avoid other commitment that will lead to distractions or problems ae critical
measures that made sure that the students are not overscheduled. This might be a
reason for the non-correlation of stress from the academic performance of students
from ABM strand.

Scatter Plot of the correlational relationship between Ateneo de Davao University
Senior High School’s Perceived Stress Scale and their Academic Performance
General Average during First Semester
Tables 19, 20 & Figure 8 shows the overall correlation between the
perceived stress level and 1st semester general average grade of Ateneo de Davao
University Senior High School Grade 12 students. With 200 students as respondents,
we gathered overall perceived stress level mean of 23.50 and overall general average
mean of 89.42. With that, we have both standard deviation of 6.220 and 3.616 for
overall perceived stress level and general average respectively. Having 0.05 as the
standard point to reject the hypothesis, we gathered the overall data and produced
0.684 p-value which is higher than the standard point to reject. Having the p value and
the obvious interpretation from the displayed scatter plot, we can therefore conclude
that the Perceives Stress level of Ateneo de Davao University Grade 12 students has
no correlation and no significant relationship with their academic performance. Despite

the interpretation of non-correlation, according to the article of Yvette Stupart Ph.D.
(2018), It is stated by Has Selye that "Stress is the nonspecific response of the body to
any demand, whether it is caused by, or results in, pleasant or unpleasant conditions."
And that a psychologist, Dr. Sian Beilock, also pointed out that in her research,
stressful academic situations has an impact on the performance of students. If not
being guided and managed correctly, it can really prevent learners from achieving their
academic goals successfully. But since Ateneo de Davao University provided programs
such as development program, wellness counselling and symposiums that will help
learners cope up with stress, it resulted to having learners who do have experienced
stress on daily basis, but still can manage to do we,ll in their studies, and that is how an
Atenean is, a well-rounded one.
CHAPTER 4
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, conclusions and recommendations of the
study.
Summary
This study was conducted to define the correlation between the perceived stress
level and academic performance of Grade 12 students of Ateneo de Davao University
Senior High School. The researchers attempted to generate whether the perceived
stress level vary among the different academic strands and sub strands and if it has an
effect on Grade 12 Senior High School learners’ academic performance and what
stressor has a dominant contribution to the stress that the learners are facing in each
strand. The study utilized the descriptive-correlation research design. This involved 200
respondents rooted from the 10% of the whole population of Grade 12 Senior High
School of Ateneo de Davao University which is 2,000 and is collected via stratified
random sampling with each strand namely: Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS),
Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), 3 sub strands from the Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics strand namely, Pre-Computer Studies, Pre-
Engineering and Architecture and Pre- Science who are enrolled in Ateneo de Davao
University Senior High School for the S.Y 2018-2019 having 40 respondents per strand.
Stratified random Sampling was applied in determining the sample size of the
respondents and the standard 10% of the population according to Creswell (2013) that
10% of the population is already a good size to represent the entire population. The
statistical tools used were mean and Pearson-r correlation. Data analysis were done
using α= 0.05 level of significance. Further, the findings are summarized as follows:
1. Among the mean scores of predetermined perceived stress indicators or also
called as stressors in each strand and sub strand, Emotional Indicator showed a
greater value being the dominant perceived stress indicator or stressor with an
overall mean score 4.575, 4.5 and 4.325. Compared to other stressors, Physical
indicator is the next dominant perceived stress indicator and having the
remaining three (3) stressors as lower.
2. The average perceived stress experienced by Grade 12 HUMSS learners has a
significant moderate stress with an overall mean score of 23.125.
3. As revealed from the results, the Pre-Engineering & Architecture strand
accumulated the highest perceived stress level with mean score of 27.1 giving of
a high perceived stress whilst, the Accountancy, Business and Management
strand accumulated the least mean score of 11.175 with a moderate perceived
stress level. From the PSS interpretations, the Pre-Engineering & Architecture
respondents showed High Perceived Stress Level while the rest of the strands
and sub strands have moderate perceived stress level.
4. The average level of perceived stress level experienced by Grade 12 learners of
Ateneo de Davao University was moderate perceived stress level with an overall
mean score of 23.5.
5. HUMSS Pearson-r Correlation showed that the independent and dependent
variables namely: the perceived stress level and their academic performance
accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= 0.166 and p-value of p=0.307 which is
greater than the alpha level of α=0.05.
6. STEM Pre- Science Pearson-r Correlation showed that the independent and
dependent variables namely: the perceived stress level and their academic
performance accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= -0.162 and p-value of p=0.319
which is greater than the alpha level of α=0.05.

7. STEM Pre- Engineering and Architecture Pearson-r Correlation showed that the
independent and dependent variables namely: the perceived stress level and
their academic performance accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= -0.099 and p-
value of p=0.543 which is greater than the alpha level of α=0.05.
8. STEM Pre-Computer Studies Pearson-r Correlation showed that the independent
and dependent variables namely: the perceived stress level and their academic
performance accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= -0.094 and p-value of p=0.562
which is greater than the alpha level of α=0.05.
9. ABM Pearson-r Correlation showed that the independent and dependent
accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= 0.171 and p-value of p=0.292 which is
10. Overall Pearson-r Correlation showed that the independent and dependent
accumulated a Pearson-r value of r= -0.029 and p-value of p=0.684 which is
Conclusions
The portion that gives meaning to your research and your results. The
objective of the Conclusion section is to examine the results, determine whether they
solve the research question, compare them within themselves and to other results
(from literature), explain and interpret them, and then draw conclusions or derive
generalizations, and make recommendations for applying the results or for further
research.
1. The researchers inferred that Emotional Indicator was the highest-contributing
stress among Grade 12 learners of Ateneo de Davao University Senior High
School.
2. The average perceived stress level manifested, remarkably generated significant
moderate perceived stress level among the respondents.
3. The Pre-Engineering & Architecture learners generated the highest perceived
stress mean score which indicated as high perceived stress level and can be
interpreted that they experienced difficulties in coping up with several stressors
unlike, to those respondents from HUMSS, Pre-Science, Pre-Computer Science
and ABM who revealed a moderate mean score which indicated as moderate
perceived stress level and can be translated as they are in the middle of coping
up with such difficulties.
4. The average level of perceived stress level in Grade 12 learners in general was
marked moderate and that they do experience stress but not in a sense that it
can be really harmful.
5. The HUMSS Grade 12 learners’ perceived stress level and their academic
performance exhibited no significant relationship and moderately positive
correlation, thus still, with the p-value greater than the alpha, it can be concluded
that as the perceived stress level increases, academic performance does not
increase and vice versa. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted.

6. The STEM Pre-Science Grade 12 learners’ perceived stress level and their
academic performance exhibited no significant relationship and moderately
negative correlation, thus still, with the p-value greater than the alpha, it can be
concluded that as the perceived stress level increases, academic performance
does not increase and vice versa. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted.
7. The STEM Pre- Engineering and Architecture Grade 12 learners’ perceived
stress level and their academic performance exhibited no significant relationship
and moderately negative correlation, thus still, with the p-value greater than the
alpha, it can be concluded that as the perceived stress level increases, academic
performance does not increase and vice versa. Hence, the null hypothesis is
accepted.
8. The STEM Pre- Computer Studies Grade 12 learners’ perceived stress level and
their academic performance exhibited no significant relationship and moderately
negative correlation, thus still, with the p-value greater than the alpha, it can be
concluded that as the perceived stress level increases, academic performance
does not increase and vice versa. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted.
9. The ABM Grade 12 learners’ perceived stress level and their academic
performance exhibited no significant relationship and no correlation, thus still,
with the p-value greater than the alpha, it can be concluded that as the perceived
stress level increases, academic performance does not increase and vice versa.
Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted.
10. The Grade 12 learners’ perceived stress level and their academic performance
exhibited no significant relationship and no correlation, thus, it can be concluded

that as the perceived stress level increases, academic performance does not
increase and vice versa. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted.
Recommendations
1. The Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School Grade 12 learners must be
able to determine the stressor or indicator which triggers them the most and be
able produce stress coping methods, in order, to lessen or reduce the occurrence
of too much perceived stress.
2. The Administrators of Ateneo de Davao University Senior High School just need
develop, design stress interventions and enhance their academic programs that
will be both sustainable, favorable and beneficial for both parties, set for example
more hands on counseling and development programs or symposiums.
3. The Senior High School Educators must fairly and justly disclose their of
workload to ease some stress that the learners are facing.
4. Healthcare centers such as the Guidance office of AdDU-SHS should conduct
mental health-related programs, seminars and activities for it will aid the learners
to further recognize and raise awareness of their mental state and improve their
behavior on a daily basis as to avoid social anxiety. Mental-health programs such
as cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness, Freespira program and
psychodynamic psychotherapy can be used.
5. The future researchers must expand and increase the sample size, widen their
scope and lessen their limitations as to generate more accurate and wider point
of view per strand so as to formulate more concise and generalized conclusions.

Furthermore, they should strengthen the relationship of both variables and
explore further strands of Senior High School from different schools, different
people, different environment
