 CHAPTER 1
Introduction

Stress is a main source of problems being faced by the students during

their academic career when they are struggling to get the academic
achievements for their future life. Academic pressure is one of the factors that
cause failure among the students. Stress is the response of mental and action
through hormonal signaling, the perception of danger sets off an automatic
response system, known as the fight or flight response. Commonly stress refers
to two things, the psychological perception of pressure, on the one hand, and
the body's response to it, on the other, which involves multiple systems, from
breakdown to muscles to memory. Stress is a lot of expectation from self.
Stress is the feeling of strain and pressure. Stress is a threating feeling.( Cohen
et al.,1997)

Psychological stress occurs when an individual perceives that

environmental demands duty or exceed his or her adaptive capacity. Stress
generate psychological disorders that may arise as downstream. Many different
things can cause physical stress, such as fear of something dangerous or
emotional, such as concern about your family or student and a poor outcome in
the study. This is a reaction to things around you that cause stress. It is
important to note that stress can have both negative and positive impact on
students. Most psychologists assert that moderate stress motives individuals to
achieve and fuels creativity, although stress may hinder individuals from
performance on the difficult task. Stress impact on the emotional and physical
behavior of persons. It is perceived as events or situations that reason
individuals to feel tension, pressure, or negative emotions.(Bernstein et al.,
2008)

Academic performance is the educational aim that is achieved by a

student, teacher or institution achieves over a specific time. The academic
performance of students heavily depends upon the parental involvement in their
academic activities to attain the higher level of quality in academic success. The
students are quite emotional especially females. They are take stress in
everything at school level. A lot of factor that influence in their study like present
pressure, teacher’s attitude towards their study, home strictness, future and job
tension. (Hussain et al., 2012)

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

 CHAPTER II
REVIEW AND RELATED LITERATURE

While Baumeister and Exline (2000) description of stress provides a

complex concept of stress, it says little about how stress affects human
academic and other performance. There is important variation between
researchers about the direct and indirect properties of several suppose
different factors which have to create stress in any situation. Direct stress
special effects are those experienced by the mission capacity alone
unrelatedly of any psychological stress that may also be generated.
According to Rees and Redfern (2000) indirect stress effects are
developed from psychological stressors related to task load requirements.
There is an acceptable line that is mutual with these two, and they can
sometimes not be distinguished. This fact made their departure and
measurement extremely difficult.

Ashcraft and Kirk (2001) shows that students with high stress tend to
be slower and more considerate in their action of various aspects of
specialized purposes. For example, these persons give the impression to
have particular difficulty with the carryover role. With the connection
between this function and work memory, scientists have imagined that the
extra stress present in highly nervous subjects probably withdraws
resources that can then be used in work memory for activation and
rehearsal as needed for the carrying operation. According to
Bandura (2001) it is possible to learn an assignment and yet perform
poorly in it. Academic success impact on the students because when you
get success in their academic achievements then students feel relax and
full confidence in their study. Other factors, other than the learning
process and suffering have the potential of influencing academic
performance on tasks. According to Tepas and Price (2001), stress can
be viewed as, an agent, circumstance, situation, or variable that disturbs
the normal functioning of the individual. Stress is also understood as an
effect that is the troubled state itself. This branching of meaning is
doubtfully the most fundamental source of the confusion surrounding the
stress concept. The stress reaction can only arise if the person perceives
the circumstance or assignments as a stressor. Various demands or
stimuli may be referred to as a stressor and may be emotionally or
psychological in nature. Individuals perceive events differently, and the
same event may cause different stress responses from different people.

Stress is typically defined in two categories, short-term and long term.

Stress is experienced for a short period of time and is usually caused by a
traumatic event. Acute stress is sometimes considered as beneficial and
can create motivation. Its study further provides an example where a
student is approaching a deadline, which is causing the student stress.
The stress that is caused due to this deadline is considered good
because it is temporary and hence helps the student to focus and
complete their task before the given time. A student being stressed during
an examination is a very common depiction. Some of the symptoms by
which stress is identified include a headache, shortness of breath, and
dizziness. A certain amount of acute stress can be seen among everyone
and student pilots are no exception. There have been studies that show
that students who have a just started their flying lessons suffer from more
acute stress than pilots who have a commercial pilot license. Other
reasons that can cause acute stress among pilots have delayed flights,
long duty schedules, and in-flight emergencies. Situations such as
delayed flights not only cause stress but also affect the pilot’s
performance and can result in a pilot error (Seki et al., 2002).

Academic performance is the educational aim that is achieved by

a student, teacher or institution achieves over a specific time. Academic
performance depends on the school, teacher and staff management.
This is measured either by examinations or continuous assessments and
the goal may differ from an individual or institution to another. Especially
teachers play the main role in the academic achievement. Academic
achievement is a period used in school when a student does well in
academic’s performance. Academic performance is the successes which
demand from parent’s family and friends. They achieve or do well in an
area of the school and do well in their studies. Academic performance is
not only degree it is the identification of any students. All the successes in
every field of life depend on the academic achievement. The academic
performance of students seriously depends upon the parental
involvement in their academic activities and to achieving the advanced
level of excellence in academic success (Barnard, 2004).

Academic achievement as demonstrated using scores on tests has

the end of the years been used to determine the competence of a student
their classroom. The total mark in the course is a measure of a student’s
average academic performance across the courses being offered in any
given class. This research points out it incorporates all the learning
outcomes expected of a student in his/her courses. The outcomes in
subjects or mark is a more generally used measure of academic success.
Thus allows it to be compared with other studies where measurement of
academic achievement is one of the study variables. The output of any
course of study reflects the success in academic performance. Learning
process depends on the learning and experiencing for academic
achievement (McKenzie et al., 2004).

Stress question has become tough question many researchers try to

find out a prominent answer of this question It’s a question that has
beguiled many comprehensive researchers of this era. The term itself is
amorphous and sustains the difficulty in discerning its meaning.
Definitions of stress range from metallurgical strain to one’s emotional
wit's end. Stress, on the other hand, is described as a stress that a
person suffers for a long time due to a situation that has not been
resolved. This is sometimes seen in students, but not as often as acute
stress. Stress experienced over a long term can effect human health and
create conditions such as heart disease or stomach ulcers (Dahlin et al.,
2005).
