“…Stress associated with academic activities has been linked to various negative outcomes, such as poor health (Greenberg, 1981;Lesko & Summerfield, 1989), depression (Aldwin & Greenberger, 1987), and poor academic performance (Clark & Rieker, 1986;Linn & Zeppa, 1984). For example, Lesko and Summerfield (1989) found a significant positive correlation between the incidence of illness and the number of exams and assignments.…”

People high in learned resourcefulness are purported to be better than others at controlling their negative emotions and managing stressful tasks. We hypothesised that highly resourceful students would be more effective than others at protecting themselves from the adverse effects of academic stress, and not allowing that stress to impact their grades. A sample of 141 first-year undergraduate students completed measures of academic stress and learned resourcefulness. Their first-year grade point averages were obtained from university records. Analyses revealed that academic stress was negatively associated with academic performance. As expected, this negative association was moderated by learned resourcefulness. High academic stress adversely impacted the grades of low resourceful students but had no effect on high resourceful students. We discuss the implications of these findings for improving academic performance.

“…For example, Marx et al (1975) found the extent and magnitude of recent life changes in college freshmen to correlate positively with the frequency and duration of health problems during the academic year. Likewise, Greenberg (1981) correlated responses to a college schedule of recent experiences with selfreported incidence of disease, illness and accidents, finding that there was a highly significant positive correlation between stress scores and illness/disease. Other studies investigated the relationship between recent life experiences and directly observable physiological reactivity.…”
