Abstract
A person due to the different sources defines stress
as a life signs experience. The main focus of this paper is
the Sources of Stress correlated to course, age, and
gender.
The respondents of this study are the students of
DMMMSU Agoo College of Sciences. The respondents were
chosen through random sampling technique, where in there
were 200 students who comprised the total sample.
Through the used statistical treatment such as
frequency distribution, weighted mean, and Kendall's
Coefficient of Concordance the result were obtained,
comparing the computed value to the tabulated value at
alpha .05 level of significance.
It had found out that, the course, age, and gender
have no significant relationship with stress.
The objectives of the study were enumerated as follows:
1. To determine the respondent's profile as to age,
gender, course.
2. To determine the sources of stress among the students
of the College of Sciences DMMMSU Agoo.
3. Determine the agreement between sources of stress
among the students of the College of Sciences DMMMSU
Agoo and the identified variables.
Finding revealed the followings:
As to the sources of stress among the students of the
College of Sciences DMMMSU Agoo, there were three sources
contributory to their ·stress. These are the physical,
psychological, and behavioral source.
In view of the aforementioned findings, it was
therefore concluded that the identified variables such ages
as, course, age, and gender are not significantly related
to the sources of stress among the students enrolled in the
college of Sciences.
The conclusions of this study were stated below:
1. The course of the students does not affect the sources
of stress that they encountered. Therefore, BS,
Psycho, BS Bio and BS Math students have the same
stresses.
2. The age of the students doe~ not affect the sources of
stress. Therefore, whatever year age is, it is not
necessary in identifying the stress causing factors
that the individual encountered.
3. Gender is not related to the sources of stress.
Therefore, male and female had the same sources of
stress.
This study gives the following recommendations:
1. The guidance counselor should make a move to
reduce the psychological stressors among the
students, so that they could concentrate more on
their studies.
2. The students should participate more in guidance
and counseling activities to bring about whatever
problem they have whether it be academic or
personal.
3. The counseling unit of the university should
implement program, which will promote stress
management among students.
