Relationship between Academic Stress, Coping and Engagement Strategies among Adolescents

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adolescent students' academic stress, coping, and engagement strategies. In order to look at how these characteristics interact; the study narrowed its attention to a particular group. In this cross-sectional study, 200 students were selected based on convenient sampling technique to evaluate gender-based disparities. Questionnaires, consent forms, and demographic sheets were used to gather data. The present study found a correlation between coping and engagement strategies, furthermore a significant relationship between coping and academic stress was also found. The gender based disparities were also found, particularly in several areas of student involvement. These findings illustrate the significant relationship between coping strategies and academic stress, emphasizing the need of stress management for encouraging involvement in academic endeavours for both male and female students. The study's findings explain the role of academic stress on coping and engagement strategies, enabling students to enhance productivity in their academic careers. However, limited generalizability due to a small sample size should be considered. The study's conclusions can help institutions to promote a supportive academic atmosphere by easing student burdens and encouraging the appropriate use of coping mechanisms.
