Abstract/Summary

The study primarily aims to describe and analyze the experience of stress related to thesis writing among SY 2000-2001 third term Behavioral Sciences majors of De La Salle University, and identify the strategies used by these students in managing stress.

Data were gathered through the use of a semi-structured survey questionnaire. The researchers used a descriptive research design and a non-probability sampling method specifically total enumeration for the selection of the respondents. The respondents were drawn from the population of De La Salle University-Behavioral Sciences majors particularly the BEHARE I and BEHARE 2 students. A pre-test was done before doing the actual data gathering, to ensure the validity of the instrument.

The data gathered were about the perceptions of the respondents on thesis-related stress, its manifestations, their perceived causes, the kinds of stress that they experience and the strategies or techniques they employ in dealing with the stress that they are subjected to.

BEHARE 1 and BEHARE 2 students recognized thesis-related stress through its source, symptoms, and its effects. The kinds of stress that they experience are manifested physically and behaviorally which they perceive to be caused by physical, psychological and psychosocial factors. Their experiences of stress related to thesis writing are managed through the physical, psychological and psychosocial interventions.
