Rationale
study hard and get good grades for us to achieve something. Maybe it is getting the
honors award, or graduating. No matter what it is, we work for our goals. These awards,
however, are not easy to achieve and require endless work. With this in mind, stress is
a common outcome for students who want to achieve these awards. Students around
the world reported that their education could be related to their high-stress levels.
Holy Name University is a school in Tagbilaran City that has students who are
high achievers. This school is one of the schools that is well-known for its great
education, being one of the top schools in Bohol. With this in mind, there are bound to
be students who are stressed and pressured to fulfill their high expectations. Academic

Academic stress has been identified as the primary cause of these alarming figures.

often felt guilty about their failures and decided to commit suicide because of it.
Moreover, stress could lead to depression and could potentially influence suicidal ideas.
With the aforementioned…….. The sreseqrchers major goal was to determine whether
or not students experience academic stress. This study was also undertaken to
determine if there are gender and stream variations in academic stress reported by
participants. Gender and stream differences were also observed in the different aspects
or causes of stress as judged by the Academic Stress Scale. It was hypothesized that
there are significant gender disparities and stream differences in academic stress. It
was also expected that the sources of stress would vary greatly depending on gender
and stream. The main purpose of the study is for students to acquire knowledge about
