This study is a survey to find out the influential determinants of capacity building to cope with stress
among university students. Descriptive survey research design was employed for the study while self-structured
modified questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. A total of nine hundred and five
(905) respondents participated in the study forming the sample size for the study. The statistical tools used for
the study includes; percentage counts, frequency, mean, regression analysis, spearman rank andMann-Whitney
U test. The statistical results of the multiple regression analysis showed that the predictors (age, sex, religion,
college, family financial status and academic performance) had 92% (adjR
2=.092, F(7,896)=14.02, P=.000,
P<0.05) joint contribution in the dependent variable (perceived ability to cope with stress). The linear
regression analysis showed that only age (β=-.112, p=.001), sex (β=.124, p=.000), religion (β=.084, p=.009),
college (β=-.088, p=.007) and academic performance (β=.249, p=.000) had significant relative contribution to
the dependent variable.The Mann-Whitney U results showed that there is significant difference in the perceived
ability to cope with stress between both male and female (H=84552, Z=-3.78, p=.000). The result of the

Concern has been expressed about the motivational impact of neuro-anatomy award/prize in determining the overall student performance in the final professional anatomy examinations by comparing it with the result outcome of a high stake examination like neuro-anatomy incourse examination using the concept of convergent validity. A total of 57 third year medical students with the records of their grades/scores (Mean ± SD) in the various assessments criteria, were analyzed. In this study, the neuro-incourse examination was consistently a high predictor (r = 0.80; P<0.01)><0.01>< 0.01 respectively). However, the neuro-incourse examination tests students’ performance in a relatively difficult module and was found to be consistently correlated and highest when compared with the overall professional examination as a result of student motivation.

Investigating the
Relationships Among
Resilience, Social Anxiety,
and Procrastination
in a Sample of
College Students
Chen-Yi Amy Ko and Yuhsuan Chang
Yuan Ze University, Taiwan
Abstract
This study investigated the relationships among resilience, social anxiety, and pro-
crastination in a sample of college students. Specifically, structural equation modeling
analyses were applied to examine the effect of resilience on procrastination and to
test the mediating effect of social anxiety. The results of this study suggested that
social anxiety partially mediated the relationship between resilience and procrastin-
ation. Students with higher levels of resilience reported a lower frequency of pro-
crastination behavior, and resilience had an indirect effect on procrastination through
social anxiety. The results of this study clarify the current knowledge of the mixed
results on resilience and procrastination behaviors and offer practical learning
strategies and psychological interventions.
Keywords
Resilience, social anxiety, procrastination
Introduction
A notable surge of interest in procrastination has been reported in the past two
decades. Procrastination is a serious concern for societies that increasingly
employ modern information technology and implicitly promote immediate grati-
fication (Rozental & Carlbing, 2014).
During the 1970s, the prevalence of self-reported procrastination was
4%–5% in the adult population, compared with 15%–20% in the most recent

report (Steel, 2012). The prevalence of procrastination in the general population
was reported to be approximately 20% (Steel, 2007).Worldwide, 20%–25% of
adults report chronic procrastination tendencies in the domains of work and
personal lives (Balkis & Duru, 2007; Ferrari & Dı́az-Morales, 2014). Most pro-
crastinators see their delaying behaviors as inappropriate, problematic, and in
need of change (Skowronski & Mirowska, 2013). Procrastination is associated
not only with negative consequences for the activity being delayed but also with
decreased psychological well-being and performance and increased distress

Assessment of Stress Levels among Undergraduates in Nigeria: Implication for ...iosrjce
This study assessed the stress levels among undergraduates in Nigeria, focusing on Babcock
University. Using multistage sampling, 605 students were selected from 5 out of the 6 schools in the University
to participate in the study. The factors examined included age, gender, religion and marital status of the
respondents. Also, the respondents were classed into different stress personality types using the previously
standardized Emotional Stress Inventory Questionnaire (ESIQ). Common stressors were also identified. The
majorities of the respondents (78%) were less than 20 years of age, female (54%), single (96%), belong to the
Yoruba ethnic group (56%) and are Christians (91%). Also, 60% of the respondents belong to personality type
A. Top ten stressors causing moderate to high stress among respondents were academic oriented. However, the
major stressor was the fear of graduating (with a mean of 3.02±1.11). Policies and programmes geared towards
enhancing effective stress coping strategies, especially targeting key stressors, should be put in place by
appropriate educational ministries and by the University administration. Furthermore, Corroborative
intervention education should be designed and administered to University students by public and mental health
experts in order to help student develop personal coping skills and reduce stress on our campuses.
Impacts of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on Adjustment Problems among Adol...Arun Varghese
ABSTRACT Introduction: Adolescence is the period of rapid changes in physical and mental state. Rapid storm of physiological changes brigs a great deal of stress and adjustment difficulties. It represents one of the critical transitions in the life span with a wide range of adjustment and mental health problems. The present study is aimed to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication on adjustment problems among adolescents. Methodology: A quasi experimental non-equivalent control group design was chosen to assess the impact of Mentor’s Strategic Communication by using Self developed Adjustment Inventory among 60 adolescents (30 each experimental and control group) with mild and moderate adjustment problems at selected schools, Kerala. The Samples were selected based on simple random sampling. Appropriate descriptive & inferential statistics was applied to compute the results. Results: Finding reveals that out of 30 students, 70% reported moderate adjustment problems while 30% were in mild adjustment issues in experimental group. There was a significant difference for adjustment problems among experimental and control group after Mentor’s strategic communication (p<0.001). Further, number of siblings (p<0.032) and education status of father (p<0.008) found significant association to adjustment problems among schools going adolescents. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that majority of adolescents face adjustment problems and Mentor’s strategic communication had significant impact on improvement in adjustment problems. A planned and timely infusion of mentorship strategy may help them to deal with their day to day adjustment problems and help them to focus in studies in a better way.

Qi Gong as a Teaching Instrument to Reduce Academic StressAI Publications
The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of Academic Stress (EA) in the educational spaces of students in the first semesters of the degree in Rehabilitation Human Acupuncture (AHR), which not only affects students, but also anyone who has a transaction role in the face of a stressful factor, understanding that in individuality it will generate a dependent variable between the interpretation before the stimulus or situation with the individual's resources, which in the first instance, are psychological in a process of evaluation of requirements or demands to know if that stimulus or situation is stressful, subsequently the result of the resource vs. threat variables together with the interdependencies of unpredictability, uncontrollability and constancy of stress. Objective: Intervene in the reduction of stress, as well as in the improvement of cognitive aspects through the practice of Qi gong (QG). Research Methodology: A non-experimental cross-sectional study with a comparative descriptive scope was carried out to measure and compare variables and categories of academic stress of the participants. The already validated scale of academic stressors was used ( Cabanach, Souto-Gestal and Franco (2016) . It consists of 54 items and is used in university students, the responses are Likert type of five points (1=never, 2=almost never , 3=sometimes, 4=almost always and always=5). Results: The cognitive aspects were evaluated and we obtained that the QG helps the educational and learning process, as well as the perception of work and educational dynamics. In the following graph we see how to feel that sometimes the perception of never improves and rarely what tells us that the practice of QG improves, the perception and the sensation of overload of work, this is due to the fact that it generates relaxation and better oxygenation. The cognitive aspects were evaluated and we obtained that the QG helps the educational and learning process, as well as the perception before work and the educational dynamics. As we can see in the following graph, we see how to feel that sometimes it improves the perception never and rarely what tells us that the practice of QG improves the perception and feeling of overload of work, this is because it generates relaxation and better oxygenation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Abstract: This study is a survey to find out the influential determinants of capacity building to cope with stress
among university students. Descriptive survey research design was employed for the study while self-structured
modified questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. A total of nine hundred and five
(905) respondents participated in the study forming the sample size for the study. The statistical tools used for
the study includes; percentage counts, frequency, mean, regression analysis, spearman rank andMann-Whitney
U test. The statistical results of the multiple regression analysis showed that the predictors (age, sex, religion,
college, family financial status and academic performance) had 92% (adjR2
=.092, F(7,896)=14.02, P=.000,
P<0.05) joint contribution in the dependent variable (perceived ability to cope with stress). The linear
regression analysis showed that only age (β=-.112, p=.001), sex (β=.124, p=.000), religion (β=.084, p=.009),
college (β=-.088, p=.007) and academic performance (β=.249, p=.000) had significant relative contribution to
the dependent variable.The Mann-Whitney U results showed that there is significant difference in the perceived
ability to cope with stress between both male and female (H=84552, Z=-3.78, p=.000). The result of the
findings revealed that age, sex, religion, college of study, academic performance could significantly predict
perceived ability to cope with stress.And also showed that the way male and female perceived their abilities to
cope with stress differ.
Keywords: academic performance, stress, family financial status, capacity building.
I. Introduction
The university education period, corresponding to ages 18-25, is one in which pronounced and rapid
psychological and social developments are seenand physiological development is completed, that involves
various developmental tasks and expresses the passage to adulthood (Renk and Creasey, 2003; Dyson and Renk,
2006). In this period, young people face a great many stressful situations, such as integrating a rise in cognitive
capacities, achieving expectations of increased independence of the family and adulthood, developing social
roles with oneself and the opposite sex, meeting academic requirements, planning together with selection of
profession and preparing for adult roles (Arnett, 2000). These are objectives that a young person will consider
seriously for the first time and that society expects to be accomplished. Coping patterns employed in this period
are therefore important since they will directly affect the individual’s subjective well-being and life satisfaction.
Stress, regarded as an inescapable phenomenon in modern society (Hung, 2011), is defined as a
psychological state that emerges when individuals encounter physical or psychological difficulties (Atkinson et
al., 2002). Ibrahim (1998) defined stress as a severe emotional response resulted from internal or external
change. According to Greenberge and Baroon (2000) stress is personal, physiological and emotional reactions
against stimulus. Hussien and Hussien (2006) defined stress as the situation by which the individual suffers from
physical and psychological hypertension resulted from factors that can't be handled and exceeds human ability
to cope with.When the stress that emerges at different times of life and in different spheres becomes excessive,
it leads to various diseases and tensions, and can consume the individual’s attention and energy. However, once
the essential source of stress is identified, it is possible to develop strategies to control these or to keep sources
of stress under effective control (Hatice and Özkan, 2012).
Folkman and Lazarus (1986) defined coping as the cognitive and behavioral efforts made by
individuals in order to meet the requirements and overcome the difficulties created by their internal and external
worlds, to keep these under control and reduce tensions. Generally, the function of coping is to protect the
individual against negative physical or psychological consequences. Coping refers to the way a person responds
to his appraisal. If his appraisal tends to arouse his nervous system, his coping will be affected, sometimes
negatively. A series of personal characteristics, such as the individual’s beliefs regarding himself and his social
surroundings, his values and objectives, influence ways of coping (Folkman & Lazarus, 1985).
Coping with stress is classified under three general categories in literature; problem focused coping,
emotional focused coping (Coyne & Downey, 1991; Snyder, 1999) and avoidance patterns. It is impossible to
make a good or bad distinction regarding these patterns, although good or bad results emerge in association with
the coping required by the situation and the suitability of thecoping employed by the individual (Lazarus, 1993).
And this affects the meaning the individual attaches to life.In general, action-based coping strategies, for
2. Influential Determinants Of Capacity Building To Cope With Stress Among University Students
DOI: 10.9790/6737-0234853 www.iosrjournals.org 49 | Page
example exercise emotion-based strategies; distraction and social strategies, such as support from friends, family
etc. are good coping skills to have (Weidner et al., 1996). Apart from the direct active coping strategies there are
also the indirect active coping strategies, that university students can adopt in an attempt to reduce their stress by
releasing it or engaging in activities known to reduce stress. Those strategies do not, however, attempt to change
the source of the stress (Cosden et al., 1997).
It has been suggested that some individual differences among university students can produce
differential responses to stressors and the coping mechanisms employed. Older students, final-year students,
female students, and students living alone have been found to have more problems than younger ones, those in
lower years in their program, male students, and those living with others, respectively (Bjorksten, Sutherland,
Millerand Stewart, 1983). Stressful reactions can include emotional or psychological responses such as hostility,
anger, anxiety disorders, and depression (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984), (Gullette et al, 1997); physical problems
such as headaches, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and gastric disorders; behavioral and cognitive problems resulting,
for instance, in impaired job or academic performance; substance use; (Rivkin & Taylor, 1999) and social
problems, such as discord in interpersonal relationships and social withdrawal.
Coping mechanisms are seen as adaptive when they act to reduce stress and promote long-term
benefits. Everley and Lating(2002) identified that maladaptive coping may reduce the level of stress in the short
term (e.g. through the use of alcohol or drugs, or through withdrawal from social interaction) but threaten
physical and psychological health in the long term. Effective coping is likely to reduce the level of stress
experienced, while ineffective coping is associated with higher levels of stress.Individual factors also influence
the way a person copes with stressors, including his or her health and energy level, problem-solving skills,
social skills, social support, intelligence, education, material resources needed for taking action, and thinking
style.
II. Materials and Methods
Participants
A total of 905 students of Afe Babalola University were randomly selected from four colleges and
participated in the study.The study involved 354 (39.2%) male, and 550 (60.8%) female students in proportion
of 170 (18.8%) from college of law, 258 (28.5%) from college of medicine and health sciences, 320 (35.4%)
from college of social and management sciences and 156 (17.3%) from college of sciences respectively.
Procedure
The purpose of the study was to find out the influential determinants of university students’ capacity
building to cope with stress. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population
comprised the undergraduate students of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti. Proportionate and simple random
sampling techniques were used to select the respondents for the study. A total of nine hundred and five (905)
respondents made up of male and female undergraduate students were used for the study. A modified
questionnaire was used to collect information on the influence of academic pursuits and financial constraints in
the management of stress among the undergraduate students. The instrument was validated through construct
and content validity. Reliability of the instrument (r=0.67) was done through Chronbach Alpha.
Descriptive statistics of frequency and percent countswere used to summarize the data collected.
Regression analysis, Spearman rank and Mann-Whitney U tests were used to test the level of significance of the
questions on the influential determinants of university students’ capacity building to cope with stress. The
significance level was set at 0.05 alpha level.

IV. Discussion
Table 1 showed that 52.1% of the respondents for the study fell into the age category of 16-18years and
43.4% belonged to the age category of 19-21years, forming the 92.8% of the total respondents for the study
sample size. This is to show that students in the modern day university are of the average age, ranging from 16-
21years. This is in agreement with Renk and Creasy (2003) and Dyson and Renk (2006) that the corresponding
age of university education period is 18-25years. Table 2 showed that 60.8% of the respondents that participated
in the study were female and male counterparts formed 39.2%. Table 3 showed that 85.2% of the respondents
belonged to Christianity religion. Table 4 revealed that 18.8% of the respondents were from the college of law,
28.5% were from the college of medicine and health sciences, 35.4% were from the college of social and
management sciences and 17.3% from were from the college of sciences.
Table 5on the frequency distribution of respondents by family financial status showed that 36.1% of
the respondents are from high class, 61.5% are from middle class while 2.4% are from low class. This study
revealed that private universities are not only attended by the children of the wealthy class of the society. The
unstable academic calendar of the public higher institution of learning is major factor responsible for public-
private migration of young secondary school leavers. Willingness of private individuals to invest in state of the
art infrastructurefor quality university education is another factor motivating parents from middle class of the
society to divert their income into stable and quality control private university education. Table 6 revealed the
perceived academic performance of the respondents. Most of the respondents (58.4%) perceived that they have
5. Influential Determinants Of Capacity Building To Cope With Stress Among University Students
DOI: 10.9790/6737-0234853 www.iosrjournals.org 52 | Page
very good performance and 2.7% perceived they are fair academically. Table 7 showed that 30.1% of the
respondents had high perceived ability to cope with stress, 57.3% had average ability while 12.6% had low
ability.
Table 8 showed the regression analysis of the study. Age, sex, religion, college, family financial status
and academic performance were considered as predictors while perceived ability to cope with stress were the
dependent variable. In linear regression, age (β=-.112, p=.001), sex (β=.124, p=.000), religion (β=.084, p=.009),
college (β=-.088, p=.007) and academic performance (β=.249, p=.000) had significant relative contribution to
the dependent variable while family financial status was not significant (β=-.025, p=.442). In multiple
regression, the predictors jointly contributed 92% (adjR2
=.092, F (7,896) =14.02, P=.000, P<0.05) to the dependent
variable.
Table 9 showed the Spearman Rank correlation coefficient of sex, age, religion, college, family
financial status, academic performance and perceived ability to cope with stress. The following variables were
correlated with perceived ability to cope with stress: Age(r=-.127) negative perfect correlation, sex (.126)
positive perfect correlation, religion(.046) positive moderate correlation, college (-.05) negative moderate
correlation, family financial (.045) status positive moderate correlation, academic performance (.207) perfect
positive correlation. This study corroborated with the study of Hamaideh (2011) which indicated that the highest
group of stressors experienced by students was self-imposed stressors followed by pressure. Cognitive responses
were found to be the highest responses to stressors experienced by students.
The Mann-Whitney U results showed there is significant difference in the perceived ability to cope with stress
between both male and female (H=84552, Z=-3.78, p=.000). This study is in agreement with Dwyer &
Cummings (2001) who reported that female students used social support more than males in coping with stress.
Dyson & Renk(2006) in a study reported that male and female gender role was a significant predictor for
problem focused coping and that female gender role was a predictor for emotional based coping. Matud (2004)
also emphasized that the gender factor is correlated with both gender components in the process from perception
of stress to the reactions displayed to it.Tajularipin, Vizata and Saifuddin (2009) in their study found that 29%
of the students experienced medium stress, and that there is a significant difference in the level of stress
attributed to gender.
V. Conclusion
It is therefore concluded that age, sex, religion, college of study and academic performance could play a
significant role in the capacity building of university students in coping with stress generally. Stress is everyday
affair and the need for increased capacity and self-perception to cope with attending stress is paramount. The
also revealed that male and female perceived ability to cope with stress differ therefore there is need to consider
gender predispositions to stress in the university curriculum.
VI. Recommendation
Based on the findings of the study the following were recommended:
1. Measures should be designed and incorporated into the university systemic policies to help students cope
with stress;
2. Survey should be carried out annually to monitor the stress level of the students and university staff to
prevent stress related diseases and other comorbid problems;
3. If the identified variables could predict stress, then the university managements should pay more attention
to these variables to modify, moderate or eliminate them.
Limitations of the study
One important limitation of this study was used of sample of students, drawn from just one university.
This finding cannot be generalized for students in other university degree programs. Repeat of this study with a
larger, stratified random sample would expand knowledge of stress among university students.
