versionused in this study is widely accepted as a measure of chronic stress due to ongoing lifecircumstances and expectations about future events. In this format, responses to 10 questions, ratedon a scale of 0 (Never) – 1 (Almost Never) – 2 (Sometimes) – 3 (Fairly Often) – 4 (Very Often),are scored to yield a number which serves as a measure of the respondent’s stress level. Individualscores are then grouped to determine the average and standard deviation. High stress levels areconsidered to be indicated by scores more than one standard deviation above the mean in thisstudy.It is generally recognized that high stress levels, experienced over an extended period of time, willnot prove beneficial to successful academic performance.

This marksthe lowest rate since 1969 and marks a point that the rate is below the “natural rate ofunemployment” [1].
