Chapter 1

INTRODUCTION

The Purpose of this study was to determine the relationship financial stress and academic

performance for students who enrolled in Army’s Angels Integrated School. A report by

the Education Trust (Burd, 2004) suggests that factors such as stress cause too many

financially needy students to drop out of college. A risk factor that often makes it difficult

for students complete their college education working full time (Choy, 2003). The other

students if they not capable to pay their miscellaneous fee it would be cause a stress or

financial stress for them. Sometimes other schools have a lot of activities and you need to

participate.

Higher education is an important purpose for many students. The value of higher

education is well known, as the statistics about how a degree can improve employment

opportunities are often cited. While the value of higher education is not often disputed, the

value it holds individual students could be. There are students who put a lot of time and

efforts into their studies and graduate with an exceptional academic status.

This is an especially significant point when the high level of investment that students put

into their education is taken into consideration. Students and their families are also

responsible for paying upon thousands of pesos to attend their college or university they

like. The goal of education is to help students meet their academic and professional

goals. (Amber Weaver’s Honor Thesis, 2013). Financial stress is for all of us, not only

among students but it is also for those who work.

Some students they lack of sleep because they working full time in their work they need

to do that to pay their bills on their school but sometimes their academic performances

get affected by that.

Family stress is also effect on student’s academic performance. It also affects

cognitive ability it will affect your ability to focus if you are worried about your serious

issues. Starting at the basic education level, almost 20% of Filipino children who dropped

out of school mentioned insufficient financial resources the main reason for quitting

school (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2015). Other source of financial stress of the

students is the higher education. Not every student is able to study without financial

support from a parent. If there is no financial support from parent it is a big problem for

them and this will affect their academic performance. What they can do is work for their

school needs and for their family even it can affect by the academic performance because

of lost sleeps. According to Ohio Student Financial Wellness Survey, 71% of the sample

reported feeling stress from personal finances. Other students like us that confront the

financial stress, other people like principal, teachers, and the administrators of the school

should be understand and concern to us. There’s a lot of stress that we looking forward

like personal financial difficulties that they give a challenge for us. Financial stress

referred to the amount of stress a student had about their financial situation and academic

satisfaction referred to a student’s capacity with their academic performance and

achievement.

Background of the Study

According to Blumberg and Pringle (1982), categories of these factors include

capacity to perform, willingness to perform, and opportunity to perform. Knowledge, skills,

and intelligence contribute to a student’s capacity to perform. In these studies, the

researchers must be seek the impact of the financial stress to know the issues of

psychosocial, identified distress, low self-esteem and poor physical health. Financial

stress in the general population is relevant to financial stress experienced by students in

Army’s Angels Integrated School in a number of ways and so is applicable to this study.

Financial stress is a widespread; this significant because financial stress

connected by health problems and it really affects your health. The relationship between

financial stress and academic performance the students’ needs a positive influence to

make their goals achieve. Some students they dealing with anxiety and depression

because of financial problem, when unhealthy coping behaviors like they trying to drink

alcohol or smoking to make leads to more stress or less money for our self-care.

According to Science Daily they also found that students who had considered not

going to university or had considered abandoning their studies for financial reasons had a

greater deterioration in mental health over time. And according to Nicky Passmore, a

student like us is needed to focus to our studies and not be adversely affected by financial

difficulties.

Theoretical Framework

Psychology theories on stress guided this study. Stress is an individual’s reaction

to an external demand or the absence of means (Seyle, 1956, 1974). Financial stress is

“the unpleasant feeling that one is unable to meet financial demands, afford the

necessities of life, and have sufficient funds to make end meet” (Davis & Manter, 2004,

p.4). For students, financial demands could include tuition or loan payments. The study

found that students who evidenced financial stress perceived a less supportive campus

environment, but tended to participate in more academically beneficial activities. The

results indicated the magnitude of the impact financial stress varied by the type of

financial stress coping strategy used.

Hypotheses

Based on considerations and previous research, these hypotheses deal with the

relationship between the stressor, financial support by parents, and to achieve the

academic performance. This study as a potential source of psychological stress was

change in financial well-being as reported by students and parents. We all know not all

parents can give a financial support by their children because of poverty. The nature of

motivation specially by the parents, teachers and self- motivation.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Very few studies have examined factors related to the likelihood of reporting

financial stress. Brougham, Zail, Mendoza, and Miller (2009) examined different sources

of stress, including academics, financial, family, social, and daily hassles, but the primary

focus of their study was to identify coping behavior among students.

For instance, Davidson et al., (2011) reported, “financial stress is heavily correlated with

poor money management skills, with a very direct relationship between the degree of

financial stress someone faces and their ability to manage their expenses, control their

debt, and pay their bills on time” (p.3) suggesting causation as directly related to a

persons’ money management behaviors. The economic well-being of the country is also

a factor related to student’s financial stress because it directly impacts tuition and other

educational expenses as well as the level of federal student financial aid made available

to qualifying students (Curran, 2009; Farrell, 2005; The guide to Federal Student Aid

2001-12).

Gen Blk 24 Lots 2, 3, 4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village

Some of the literature suggested, and rightly so, financial stress is not a sole
Army’s Angels Integrated School Inc.
determinant of academic outcomes, however, when financial hardships present as a

significant challenge to students’ sense of stability and adaptive capacities the

socioeconomic status of the general student body and the ranking of the institution should

also be taken into account (Mehta, et al., 2011; Pryor, Hurtado, De Angelo, Palucki &

Tran, 2010; Kadison & DiGeronimo, 2004) in any assessment of stress.

For one, financial stress of the families of dependent undergraduate residential

college women has an impact on family contribution to the cost of college and so has

implications for academic functioning, retention and completion rates (Mehta, et al., 2011;

Kadison & DiGeronimo, 2004; Pryor, et al., 2010; Robb 2011). In many families prior to

enrolling in college some undergraduate residential college students worked and

contributed to family budgets and so attending college not only increases family

expenses, it reduces family income (Giancola, Grawitch & Borchert, 2009; Greer &

Brown, 2011; Joo et al., 2008; Pryor et al., 2010; Robb, 2011).

Considering the inadequate threshold of the federal poverty line a family’s

income may not be high enough to make ends meet, but may be too high for their student

to qualify for federal assistance, which uses household income standards to determine

eligibility for financial aid (Robb, 2011). Financial aid packages are usually a combination

of grants, work-study benefit, and loans that enter repayment six months after graduation.

Further, the literature also suggests that the U.S. economic wellness as a whole has an
Republic of the Philippines

City of Taguig

Gen Blk 24 Lots 2, 3, 4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village

impact on the level of federal financial assistance, need based and merit scholarships
Army’s Angels Integrated School Inc.
available to 19 students. However, allotted funds for federal financial aid does not match

the rising cost of a college education, and does not cover expenses beyond the direct

cost of attendance (Curran, 2009; Farrell, 2005; Joo et al., 2008; Pryor et al., 2010; Robb,

2011). On the other hand, Shim et al. defined healthy or positive financial behavior

indictors as the set of desirable behavior that help young and adults achieve the

financial, economic, and interpersonal goals that are important to them. Behavior such

awareness of debt owed, checking for the lowest interest rate before borrowing, saving,

budgeting, and keep financial goals have been shown to be positively related to lower

reported levels of financial stress and increased financial well-being (Gutter, Garisson &

Copur, 2010; Xiao et al., 2009

As discussed by Northern et al. (2010), some researchers have used financial

data exclusively to measure financial stress. While being unable to pay bills and other

financial difficulties may indeed produce stress, there are important psychological aspects

of stress that may be missed when using financial data alone (Northern et al., 2010).

Being unable to pay bills on time may plausibly be a stressful event for one student, but

not for another student. Stress is certainly a complex construct, but the differences in

measurement of financial stress are likely a result of a lack of theory based research.

Many of the studies mentioned above do not include an explanation of the theoretical
Army’s Angels Integrated School Inc.
framework used to investigate issues related to financial stress.

In American College Health Association (2013), accordance in their study,

college students are frequently experience financial stress. According to recent national

survey 35% of said their finances were “traumatic” or “very difficult” to handle. The survey

of Trombitas (2012), %as focused specifically on financial stress and

found that four of stressors among students related to their personal finances.

In Inceptia’s study (2012), students, both those enrolled 1 ones who have recently

graduated, are under high level of stress. A number of factors contribute to students

stress, but very prominent are those related to student finances. Aside from this, the study

shows that one third of respondents said stressors have had a negative impact on their

academic performance. In the survey of National Survey of Student Engagement (2011),

seventy four percent of respondents are working during the academic year, the 15

percent of students are working full-time.

In Cooperative Institutional Research (2010), today’s incoming college students

are reporting high levels of poor mental health than ever before & financial stress is an

emerging is within this trend. In Northern, O’rien, & Goetz (2010) study, financial stress

defines as the inability to meet one’s economic responsibilities and is influenced by

attitudes, beliefs, and other psychological factors. Blonna (2010) pointed out that one

needs to know what it is and it causes, in-order cope with it well. He claims that students

experience stress since some are trying to cope up with the demands of adapting to a
Republic of the Philippines

City of Taguig

Gen Blk 24 Lots 2, 3, 4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village

new living environment, new peers, academic pressure, and sexual concerns. Finances
Army’s Angels Integrated School Inc.
were ranked as the second largest stressor among college students, following academics,

in the National College Health Assessment (ACHA, 2011).

Additionally, results from the 2012 National Survey of Student Engagement

(NSSE, 2012) indicate that finances are a significant concern for the majority of college

students and that three in five first-year students worry about paying for school and

having enough money for regular expenses. Furthermore, in a national survey of college

students and recent college graduates by Inceptia, four of the top five stressors identified

by currently enrolled college students were related to personal finances, such as the need

to repay loans, the cost of education, borrowing money for college, and the need to find a

job after school (Trombitas, 2012).

More recent surveys have found that financial concerns interfere with academic

performance (NSSE, 2012; Trombitas, 2012). A study by Trombitas (2012) found that one

third of respondents reported that financial stressors have had a negative impact on their

academic performance or progress. Lapp (2010) measured financial self-efficacy with

three items: (1) I was good at planning for my financial future, (2) I was satisfied with my

financial situation, and (3) I was able to save money. Higher financial self-efficacy was

associated with lower debt, fewer financial problems, lower financial stress, and higher

savings and financial happiness. Archuleta, Dale, and Spann (2013) explored

associations between financial anxiety among college students and measures of financial

satisfaction, financial debt, and demographic control variables. Financial self-literacy

City of Taguig

Gen Blk 24 Lots 2, 3, 4 & 5 Salazar St. Central Signal Village

refers to individuals’ perceived ability to manage their finances (Lapp, 2010). It is related
Army’s Angels Integrated School Inc.
to individuals’ self-confidence to carry out a financial management task (Lown, 2011) and

could reflect their financial skills.

Financing a stress in education has a become more difficult for students. Wages

have not kept with the cost of education (Baum & Ma, 2012), limiting parents ability to

help pay for their child’s education. It is been concluded that study behavior of students

and their attendances are more important and affective towards their academic

performance as compared to the utilization of their text7 books (Berry, Cook, Hill stevens,

2011)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We deeply grateful to many people without whom this thesis would not have been

accomplished. We thank my thesis advisor, Ms. Charlotte Calauad, for her patience,

understanding, and the calming presence she brought to this process, which at times

seemed impossible. Finally yet importantly, we thank my family for being patient with and

supportive of me during this process even when it meant I had to spend countless hours

away from home and was generally preoccupied with research and writing.
