Academic Stress Scale (A.S Scale)

The Academic Stress Scale is designed to assess academic stress in individuals aged 16-22, focusing on three key areas. The scale consists of 30 items presented in a Likert-type rating format, allowing respondents to rate their level of stress. It is bilingual (Hindi & English) and demonstrates high reliability and validity. Three Important Areas Measured by the Academic Stress Scale: 1. Academic Pressure: Assesses stress related to academic demands, expectations, and the pressure to perform well in exams and assignments. 2. Academic Conflict & Frustration: Measures stress stemming from conflicts in academic settings, such as disagreements with teachers or peers, and frustration over unmet academic goals. 3. Family Problems & Financial Stress: Evaluates stress arising from family issues and financial challenges that impact academic performance. This scale is a valuable tool for identifying specific sources of academic stress and providing insights into how students can be supported in managing their stress.
