Examination stress and changes in mood and health related behaviours

The present exploratory study evaluated the effect of stress (an examination period) on changes in mood
and health related behaviours. The results showed deterioration in mood in terms of increases in
depression and anxiety and changes in health related behaviours in terms of increased numbers of
subjects who identified themselves as smokers, and addicted to alcohol consumption, less in exercise
and food intake in subjects in the stress condition. The results also suggest that social support moderated
the effects of the examination stress and was related to greater decreases in smoking, decreaces in
alcohol craving and increases in eating behaviour. In addition, an avoidance coping style (problem
avoidance, wishful thinking) was related to greater decreases in eating behaviour.

Research objective:

a) To determine the relationship between examination stress that has effect in changes in mood
and health related behaviours among adolescence.

Research question:

a) To identify the relationship between examination stress and changes in mood and health related
behaviours among adults based on depression and anxiety.
