Gender Differences in Academic Stress and Academic Pressure among Students aged 18–23 in Sri Lanka

Abstract

This study examined gender differences in the experience of academic stress and academic pressure among students aged 18–23 in Sri Lanka. It explored whether gender influences the type, intensity, and sources of academic stress reported by university students, and the coping strategies employed. Findings contribute to understanding how academic environments differentially affect young people and carry implications for student support services. Originally conducted as a BSc (Hons) Psychology dissertation at ICBT Campus Sri Lanka (affiliated with Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK) and released as a PsyArXiv preprint.
