                            Students experience tremendous levels of stress throughout their education. A high level of stress may have a negative effect on the cognitive functioning and learning of students. The school administration of CSU - Laboratory High School - Senior High (CSU-LHS-SH) sought to determine the levels and primary sources of stress and its possible correlation with the General Weighted Average (GWA) in its department. As a statistician, your task is to conduct hypothesis testing to analyze the gathered data. Data were collected from students of CSU-LHS-SH during the first semester of the academic year 2021 - 2022.. The Student Stressor Questionnaire (SSQ) was used to collect the data.
            The SSQ contains 20 items that cover six subscales: (Academic-Related Stressors (ARS), Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Related Stressors (IRS), Learning-Related Stressors (LRS), Social-Related Stressors (SRS), Drive- and Desire-Related Stressors (DRS), and Group Activity-Related Stressors (GARS). Items in the SSQ represent 20 events that might be sources of stress (eg, “lack of time to review what has been learnt”, “heavy workload”). The responses were measured on a four-point Likert scale: “0=causing no stress”, “1=causing mild stress”, “2=causing high stress”, or “3=causing severe stress”.
            The findings of this study will contribute to the educational literature on the effect of stress on students’ academic performance, thus it must be accurate and timely.
