ABSTRACT:
Stress has become one of the most pervasive issues in issue in present time. Stress is any type of reaction that requires attention and action. In today’s world stress can arise from various environmental and academic aspects and is very common in college going students. Uncontrolled stressors can lead to decrease in performance, social, psychological, physical adjustments. Descriptive research was conducted to determine the level of stress experienced by female Indian college students (N=52) residing in Delhi/NCR region, of ages 18-20 years (Mean=19.14 years), and additionally the relation between age and stress levels was investigated. The data was collected using an adapted version of College Students’ Stress Questionnaire (Yikealo, et al., 2018). The results showed that the students experienced higher levels of academic stress, and comparatively lower levels of social and psychological stress. It was also found that there were no significant differences in stress levels with reference to age. In conclusion, college students were overall found to face moderate levels of stress, and there is no significant relation between age and stress. Future directions are discussed.
