Academic Stress Theory
by Campbell-Phillips, Halder, & Hasib (2020)
Personal inadequacy, fear of failure, interpersonal difficulties
with teachers, teacher-student relationships, and inadequate
study facilities were concerns of academic stress.
Social exchange theory
(George C. Homans (1958))
According to this theory, people weigh the potential benefits
and risks of their social relationships. When the risks outweigh
the rewards, they will terminate or abandon the relationship.

The study is anchored in the Academic Stress Theory, which states that personal
relationships, and inadequate study facilities are concerns of academic stress. And the
Social Exchange Theory, which explains how people weigh the potential benefits and
risks of their social relationships. Researchers believed that learners have experienced
academic pressure while the learners’ social relations could be affected. Thus, the
paradigm is stem on the academic pressure and social relations of grade 12 learners

This chapter presents the related literature and studies that the researchers
considered to strengthen the importance of the present study. It also presents the
synthesis of the art to fully understand the research for better comprehension of the
study.
Social exchange theory (Homans 1958) proposes that social behavior is the
and minimize costs. According to (Verywellmind, 2022), people weigh their social
relationships' potential benefits and risks. When the risks outweigh the rewards, they will
amount of give-and-take, but this does not mean they are always equal. The social
exchange suggests that it is the valuing of the benefits and costs of each relationship
exchange theory suggests that we essentially take the benefits of a relationship and
subtract the costs in order to determine how much it is worth. He suggested several
goods, like time, money, effort, approval, prestige, power, etc. Every person provides
rewards and endures costs. People expect to receive as much reward as they give to
another and will choose actions that are likely to provide the greatest reward
(SimplyPsychology, 2021).
Academic Stress among students has long been subjecting of social research.
Some researchers have identified several stressors such as too many assignments,
competition with other students, failures, and poor relationships with other students or
10
lecturers (Campbell-Phillips, Halder, & Hasib 2020). Stress by itself is a complex,
dynamic process that involves the interaction between an individual and their
while studying. According to (Oduwaiye et. al 2017), Students worry about how they
perform; the extent of pressure and anxiety they feel in the process of pursuing their
academic career creates a level of stress that they carry which in turn will affect their
academic performances.
Academic stress is a normal issue at all levels of education, and it has a negative
impact on students' personal, emotional, and physical well-being, along with their
learning and performance (Ros, Gonzales, and Tomas, 2018). Anything that represents
school. Academic stress affects students the greatest since they are exposed to different
types of stressors, such as academic pressure and the pressure to perform (Noson &
Shastri, 2016). It requires time and interferes with other activities, and is known to be the
most stressful factor for physiotherapy students, followed by financial and personal
expectation and others can reduce motivation, hinder academic achievement, and lead
to increased drop-out rates (Pascoe et al., 2020). There is a variety of unwanted effects
that a young person can develop from academic pressure. Immense academic pressure
can cause a young person to struggle with Obsession with grades, Social isolation, and
others. Academic pressure does not always lead to better grades and improved test
11
Academic pressure encourages students to perform better in school and
increases their productivity levels as they are more motivated to achieve high results
(Hatoum 2021). Most of the time, however, according to her personal experience,
academic pressure results in a fixation to perform better in school to the extent that
young people begin doubting their capabilities and knowledge. High levels of academic
pressure led to overthinking and worrying about the marks learners were receiving.
Academic pressure is most evident in young people at the time of assignments and
exams since that is when there is a large amount of workload to be completed and when
affects students' social, physical, cognitive, and physiological health and increases the
deprivation, and insomnia. Academic stress involves the stress from academic
challenges in education and leads to a lack of student academic motivation. This has
students has only been increasing which has contributed to the enhanced suicide rate
among young people. The majority of students have normalized excessive academic
stress, decreasing the severity of it which has left young people to endure it throughout
their schooling. Since it has been so normalized, young people do not recognize it to be
an issue that should be managed. If academic stress is not managed properly, students
may be subjected to academic burnout where they suffer emotional and physical
exhaustion.(Hatoum 2021)

people has proven to be quite effective in assisting learners in organizing their thoughts,
reflecting on their understanding, and finding gaps in their reasoning. Underneath the
broad umbrella of social interactions and learning, variants can range from peer learning,
self–other monitoring. These areas overlap in scholarship and are often an optimal way
to help students learn. Different forms of collaborative learning can create ideal
taking part in social interaction increases well-being and has health benefits. Engaging in
social interaction with peers is especially important to young adults, who are in a
independence from their parents. However, in this important period of life, many young
adults suffer from stress and poor mental health. Recent figures reveal an increase in
perceived stress among Danish young adults. In 2013, 24% of 16-24-year-olds reported
high perceived stress. Perceived stress and poor mental health are also prevalent in
university populations outside Denmark. Stress and poor mental health in early life have
been shown to be related to anti-social behavior and poor social relations in later
adulthood, and it is possible that young adults with high perceived stress also have

Pascoe et al, and Anoushka Thakkar, stated that some students are academically
expectations placed on them. This so-called academic pressure influences the social
relations with students to manage their academic stress. Chang et al. stated that social
support is one way to manage stress, and prevent mental health risks. Social interaction
plays a vital role in learning, effective in assisting learners to organize their thoughts and
find gaps in reasoning. Similarly, according to Dissing, Jorgensen, Gerds, Rod, & Lund,
interaction plays an important role in learning. Interacting with other people has proven
understanding, and finding gaps in their reasoning. With these combined ideas
researchers will gain an idea of how to find the correlation between Academic pressure

which shows that the learners are undecided with the overall questions provided by the
Short-time Deadline. The table above shows the level of academic pressure in
terms of short-term deadlines. The table shows that the lowest level was 2.24, which
means that the learners disagree that they don't get their task done on time; on the other
hand, the highest level was 3.15, and the weighted mean score shows that the learners
are undecided if their teachers give them sufficient time to complete their task.
Generally, the 2.83 grand mean indicates that the learners are still undecided about
whether they feel pressured regarding the situations provided by the researchers in

Recommendation
Based on the findings and results of the study, the following recommendations were
drawn
32
1. The students should learn to better understand if they experience such
they should also manage their self-expectation so they won't experience further
academic pressure. Also, they should learn how to improve their social relations
with others considering they have moderate characteristics based on the results
2. The administrator might take some necessary actions on how they can
improve the student's social relations, by providing some activities that will help
Most learners, as implied in the study, are undecided about whether they
themselves with the help of their parents. Thus, this can also help the student
to ask for guidance from their parents on how they can improve their social
relations in school.
4. In the conduct of the study, it was proven that academic pressure and social
relations have no significant relationship with each other. Future researchers may
determine which of those highly affect the students in Mapandan National High
School.
