“…The NRI has been used extensively in Latinx populations in the United States. For instance, the NRI has been used to assess sibling (Jones et al, 2022), romantic partner (Killoren et al, 2022), and parent (Chancy et al, 2022) relationship qualities in samples of Latinx adolescents and young adults. Across studies, reliability has been good (α = .83–.95), and validity has been established in its association with outcomes.…”

Cultural socialization and preparation for bias messages are the two most studied dimensions of ethnic-racial socialization, although among Latinx samples, preparation for bias has received significantly less research attention (Ayo ´n et al., 2020). While research suggests that cultural socialization fosters positive youth development, the effects of preparation for bias are much more equivocal (Umaña-Taylor & Hill, 2020). We extended this line of research by testing whether parental warmth moderated the relation between cultural socialization and preparation for bias on internalizing symptoms, externalizing behaviors, self-esteem, and academic motivation in a sample of 175 Latinx adolescents (M age = 12.9, SD = 0.68; 52% female). We also examined whether both preparation for bias and cultural socialization messages together had the most beneficial impact. Results indicated that preparation for bias was associated with lower self-esteem and greater internalizing symptoms and externalizing behaviors. Cultural socialization was associated with greater self-esteem. Preparation for bias significantly interacted with cultural socialization to predict academic motivation such that cultural socialization was associated with greater academic motivation only for those who reported high levels of preparation for bias. Parental warmth was not a significant moderator for any outcome. Sensitivity analyses that added discrimination to the models indicated that once discrimination was controlled for, preparation for bias was no longer related to any youth outcomes. Future research should consider additional moderators to determine what outcomes and under what circumstances preparation for bias messages may be beneficial for Latinx adolescents. Public Significance StatementHow parents communicate messages regarding race and culture contributes significantly to youth's academic, behavioral, and mental health outcomes, independent of other parenting factors such as parental warmth. However, messages centered on preparing youth for experiences of discrimination are not having the intended beneficial effect. More research is needed on how parents can teach their children about the realities of racism and how to cope while still promoting well-being and self-efficacy.

“…Struthers et al (2000) found that stress positively predicted motivation in Canadian college students, and Park et al (2012) reported that the academic motivation scale "extrinsic identified regulation" was positively related to stress in Korean medicine students. Furthermore, interpersonal stress was positively associated with academic motivation in Mexican-origin college students but only under the condition of a positive sibling relationship (Jones et al, 2022). In Nigerian students, intrinsic motivation and academic stress were also positively related (Muza and Muhammad, 2020).…”

The coronavirus pandemic has influenced the lives of many people. We analyzed the effects of physical activity and stress on students' motivation during the pandemic. Participants were 254 university students who reported their academic motivation, physical activity, general stress, the coronavirus pandemic strain, and their coronavirus stress. Women reported higher levels of coronavirus stress, general stress, and motivation. The coronavirus stress was predicted by the strain of the coronavirus pandemic but not by physical activity. General stress and gender predicted mastery goals, and performance goals were predicted by general stress. Physical activity was not related to students' motivation during the pandemic. Higher levels of general stress were associated with higher academic motivation. Negative emotions like stress could have enhanced students' motivation during uncertain times of the pandemic. Moreover, a moderate stress level could be favorable for academic dedication and achievement.

“…Research in latin America mentions that students' academic stress during the pandemic stems from piling up tasks, family factors, boyfriend or girlfriend communication barriers, and the problem of declining financial income [36]. Academic stress is a psychic turmoil that impacts the emergence of mental and physical health problems.…”

“…Stressors during the dominant pandemic resulted from lockdowns, uncertainty over the cessation of the COVID-19 virus, financial constraints, and online learning. Students must guarantee an internet connection because online lectures are more than 6-8 hours daily, plus many assignments and isolation [71] [36]. The COVID-19 International Student Wellbeing Study (C19 ISWS), through a sample of 2,480 students at InHolland Universities of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, was found to experience stress, depression, and loss of resilience due to online learning [72].…”

This article presents systematic literature review related to student academic stress during the COVID-19 pandemic in the latest literature. Although there have been similar studies, there are still few that present the newest literature review related to student academic stress during the pandemic. This article uses the systematic review literature method to identify, evaluate, and interpret existing research results with the help of Publish or Perish version 7, VOSviewer, and NVIVO 12 plus applications. The release of articles in scopus indexed journals is limited to three years, namely 2020-2022. From the search results in the Publish or Perish version 7 application, there are 248 articles indexed by Scopus, then selected papers according to compatible themes into 50 pieces. The findings of the topics are stress, students, academic-related stress, academic performance, posttraumatic stress disorder, health psychology, academic achievement, emotional intelligence, depression, COVID-19, online exam, academic success, academic engagement, insomnia, and coping. These 50 articles were analyzed according to the topics set through the NVIVO 12 plus application and described the results according to research questions. This article contributes to subsequent research and studies the theme of student academic stress during the pandemic.
