We’re doing a research on stress levels experienced by college students. Level of stress is our variable. So far, I haven’t found a consistent view on levels of stress yet. It seems like different researchers and authors have identified their own levels of stress for their respective population. Although there are established ways on measuring stress, there are a few resources on levels of stress. Can you identify some and cite your resources? Thanks!
The best answer I can give you is that the levels are unimportant because the closer the matter is to your heart the more it frazzles you. Take it from me, a 55 yr old woman, who worked in state tax collection for years (which carries a very high level of stress), Single mother with 3 grown sons with child custody problems ( very high level of stress), has alzheimer’s disease now (I guess I blew a gasket), seizures and esophageal erosion, and is now disabled. If i didn’t have interaction with other people I wouldn’t have any stress at all.
Stress as is depression, is brought about via outside influence for me. As a woman my family is the most important thing in my life. If I am being pushed to achieve a goal at work or to exceed an amount set my my employer, We had a certain goal amount to reach in collections. If you didn’t reach that goal your job was in jeopardy, so there was this constant push. Thus, a lot of stress to the point I would vomit then it went to vomiting blood, then finally esophageal erosion. This directly affected my being able to support my family. Doing a really good job was of the utmost importance. Therefore, I had to react to it as I would a matter of the heart. Anything that has repercussions that affect the heart will be like a blow to the stomach.
Stress level experienced by college students depends on their desire to succeed. There is always going to be the young immature students that are going to college because their parents want them to but, they really don’t know yet what they really want to do in life. Mom and dad are the ones that have always worried about that stuff. Then there is going to be the underachievers that have got to do better but, have some kind of mental block thus, they just can’t seem to get there. Then there are the ones who just seem top skate through effortlessly. You have to look at the circumstances behind the scene to really get the jest of the stress level. All you really need to do is to meditate and walk in their shoes. You will get the answer.
