Abstract

This study observed the sources of academic stress and its relationship with academic success in university undergraduates in Sri Lanka. To conduct the research,256 students in three faculties of the Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka were selected. Of those surveyed, 143 were male and 113 were female students. Ages ranged from 20 to 25, with a mean of 23.78 (SD=1.22), and the class rankings were as 64 (32.7%) first-year students, 60 (30.6%) secondyear students, 55 (28.1%) third-year students and 16 (8.2%) final (fourth) year students. Selfadministrated questionnaires were distributed among the participants that assessed the students’ academic stress, academic achievements, and general demographic information. There is a particular emphasis on how the students use stress management strategies to achieve academic success.
