“…308 O estresse acadêmico tem contribuído para a elevada incidência populacional de depressões, suicídios, consumo de drogas, distúrbios alimentares como bulimia, anorexia nervosa e baixo rendimento universitário; sem dúvida, um quadro assustador e digno de renovadas práticas, nas áreas de saúde e educacionais, assim como em tantas outras [1][2][3][4][5] . Os grandes desafios a serem enfrentados pelos universitários são, fundamentalmente, o da transição de vida e adaptação a um novo momento acadêmico (solidão, saudade de casa), o autoconceito, a autoestima e adaptação em desenvolvimento e problemas específicos de natureza acadêmica (ansiedades e estresses nos exames, rendimento escolar, desistência, motivação, relação com colegas, professores, orientadores e outros funcionários) 6,7 .…”

Objective:To evaluate the level of stress among fourthyear undergraduate students in preparation of their course term projects. Materials and Methods: 51 students of Physiotherapy, Biology and Information Systems from a university in São Paulo were included. The student were evaluated using a questionnaire and the Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for adults. Results: The Physiotherapy group reported most frequently having to do the activities very quickly (n= 10, 76.9%). Of these, 69.2% (n=9) reported that the work often requires skill or specialized knowledge (p=0.002 and p=0.02, respectively, Kruskal-Wallis Test). The Biology group seemed to have the worst relationship with the bosses and the best with colleagues and also reported the highest number of symptoms associated with stress in 24 hours, one week and one month (p<0.0001, p<0.0001 and p=0.009 respectively, Kruskal-Wallis Test). Conclusion: The Information Systems group presented a lower number of symptoms related to stress, suggesting more adaptability to the demands and day-by-day problems as compared to Physiotherapy and Biology.

“…In addition to the academy related stress, undergraduate students especially for freshmen in particular, may senses the stress of start new relationships such as friendships, romantic relationships, family relationships (Dunkel-Schetter & Lobel, 1990), and even financial concerns (Brown & Edelmann, 2000) due to the transitional nature of college life. Such psychological distress may be arisen since their social roles are changed, and undergraduate students are forced to deal with new environment, start new relationships, and some may become responding their expenses for the college years (Disch et al, 2000).…”

“…With regards to the learning and adaptive stress among college freshmen, previous studies revealed different stressors in different contexts with undergraduate students such as relationships (Dunkel-Schetter & Lobel, 1990), examinations (Evans & Kelly, 2004), extreme amount academic work (Evans & Kelly, 2004), difficulty of academic work (Evans & Kelly, 2004), and even financial concerns (Brown & Edelmann, 2000). In educational study, Lin (2005) validated learning and adaptive stress scales from college freshmen in Taiwan with five components as learning problem, living expense, relationships, personality distress, and career development stresses.…”

Psychological capital (PsyCap) is an important resource for combating one's stress in organizational context which constructed with core constructs including self-efficacy, optimism, hope and resilience. Colleges freshmen have much stress while their transition from high schools (youth hood) to colleges (adult hood). While the participants from colleges, this study comprised academic self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and academic resilience into PsyCap constructs and examined its effectiveness on learning and adaptive stress of colleges freshmen. 640 survey questionnaires were distributed to participants, 427 usable questionnaires returned, with 66.7% valid return rate graded by the participants from Department of International Business Management (IBM) of 8 universities located in center of Taiwan. The results disclosed, except to the living expense stress, overall PsyCap efficaciously copes with learning and adaptive stress of colleges freshmen. Besides, overall PsyCap has found stronger predictabilities to learning and adaptive stress than its individual element. This study contributed to confirm the role of PsyCap as an important resource in combating with stress across different disciplines, and, in both theoretical and practical implications. The concrete conclusions and recommendations of this study were made for ISSN 2162-6952 2014 www.macrothink.org/jse 26 theoretical and practical courses design of IBM, and further studies.

“…Due to the pervasiveness of perfectionism (Chang & Rand, 2000;Dunkley, et al, 2000;Rice, Ashby, & Slaney, 1998;Stevens & Pfost, 1984) and stress (D'Zurilla & Sheedy, 1991;Gadzella, 1994;Dunkel-Schetter & Lobel, 1990;Hirsch & Ellis, 1996;Ross, et al, 1999;Towbes & Cohen, 1996) in the lives of college students, these students are a likely population to provide descriptive insight into the manifestation of perfectionism and effortlessness. Given the severity of the psychological impairments associated with perfectionism, further research into perfectionism seemed necessary to protect students' physical and mental health.…”

“…A Duke University steering committee report (Roth, 2003) issued at Duke University after a 2002 campus climate study focused on the experiences of Duke women (including undergraduates, graduate students, alumnae, staff, and faculty) suggested the existence of pervasive pressures to achieve perfection within their undergraduate student population. The existence of these pressures has already been reflected in the literature (Chang & Rand, 2000;Dunkley, Blankstein, Halsall, Williams, & Winkworth, 2000;D'Zurilla & Sheedy, 1991;Gadzella, 1994;Dunkel-Schetter & Lobel, 1990;Hirsch & Ellis, 1996;Rice, Ashby, Slaney, 1998;Ross, Neibling, & Heckert, 1999;Stevens & Pfost, 1984;Towbes & Cohen, 1996). According to the steering committee's report, high levels of stress in the lives of female college students has created a unique set of expectations for female students (Roth, 2003).…”

This study used a mixed-method design to address how an academically highachieving group of undergraduate women experienced pressures for perfectionism, perfectionistic self-presentation, and effortless perfection during their college careers.Effortless perfection, identified by a campus climate study, revealed that women were feeling pressure to appear perfect without having to put any effort into achieving perfection. Perfectionistic self-presentation (PSP) and effortless behaviors, as well anxiety, depression, and risky eating behaviors, all psychological reactions with existing research links to female perfectionists, were measured via an online survey of 296 women. Since little qualitative research was available regarding PSP and effortless perfection, interview data were gathered from a purposefully selected sub-sample of 20 women representing four distinct profiles of effortless perfection (high PSP-high effortlessness, high PSP-low effortlessness, low PSP-high-effortlessness, low PSP-low effortlessness). Interview questions focused on a variety of issues regarding perfectionism and effortlessness, including the influence of environmental and cultural factors and the coping mechanisms these undergraduate women employed in response to daily stresses. This study identifies the overall prevalence of depression, anxiety, reduced emotional expression, and difficulty forming relationships within the research sample.Behaviors associated with attempts to appear effortless were twice as likely to be present in women with PSP than women with low to no measurable PSP. Women with PSP were not found to have an increased propensity for risky eating behaviors compared to women with low or no levels of PSP. Interview data pertaining to self-image and selfpresentation, resulted in the relabeling of "effortless perfection" as "effortless perfectionistic self-presentation." Qualitative data reflected a diversity of stress responses, although women with high PSP-low effortlessness were the most likely to exhibit unhealthy coping responses. Implications of these findings regarding the study of perfectionism and addressing the needs of high-achieving female college students are discussed, and support services including intergenerational female mentoring and femalefocused campus counseling centers are proposed.
