“…For instance, students may experience the sense of being under psychological pressure [3,6,7], with academic stress affecting self-concept [8] and self-esteem [2,8]. Although stress may not affect all university students, research shows that an arguably significant number of students report experiencing stress.…”

“…Not only this, but maladaptive coping has been shown to be a primary predictor of psychological and other forms of stress [3], especially as students seek to establish a sense of belonging as well as friendships within the university environment [9]. Students may not know how to redirect stressful energy, and instead may turn to harmful activities such as alcohol and/or recreational drug use, overeating (i.e., 'stress eating'), and violence towards others or themselves as a means of coping.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this phenomenological research was to discover whether training in the Korean martial art of Taekwondo may benefit undergraduate (UG) students in handling stress. The goal of this innovative approach to learning and stress management was to allow UG students from across disciplines at a metropolitan university achieve an increased sense of emotional balance, inner peace, and overall well-being in body, mind, and spirit. No such study has been conducted before now. This research was multidisciplinary in its inclusion of insights from the tenets of higher education, human development and psychology, nursing and sociology, as well as the art, philosophy, and sport of Taekwondo. Ten UG student participants were sought for this research study, though a total of eight students agreed to participate. The study was open to all of the UG students at this university. Phenomenology was used to identify themes that emerged regarding student participant's experience with stress. Consequently, new ideas were established about the ways in which UG students learned to use Taekwondo training to overcome stress, thereby improving upon and maintaining health and well-being in body, mind, and spirit.

“…This change may cause stress or even depression, lack of appetite and concentration problems (Thurber & Walton, 2012). Leaving home and being outside parental control and supervision is an unprecedented challenge (Mahmoud, Staten, Hall & Lennie, 2012;Moreno, Jelenchick, Koff & Eickhoff, 2012;Wright et al, 2012). According to current research studies, a higher degree of load can also be caused by social networks and the content of shared posts from friends (Chou & Edge, 2012;Jelenchick, Eickhoff, & Moreno, 2013).…”

Shaping the attitudes to lifestyle in a holistic concept is included in all stages of education in the Czech Republic. The objective of the present research is to identify the attitudes of university students to concepts associated with bio-psycho-social aspects of lifestyle (including stress) and their development by year of study and gender. The research sample comprises students who will become teachers of subjects in the category of Health education and will thus deliberately influence the lifestyle of their students. Students' attitudes were measured by means of the ATER two-factor semantic differential (plus own questionnaire). The respondents were presented with concepts associated with both positive and negative aspects of lifestyle, self-conception and social relationships. The obtained data were used to develop a semantic space of the concepts. The differences between various groups were further compared by means of the Student's t-test and analysis of variance. The results suggest that the attitudes of students of Health education correspond with the aspects of an optimum lifestyle. A comparison of the attitudes by year of study and gender revealed differences only in some concepts. In both dimensions a statistically significant difference was observed in the concept Mental stress, which has poor evaluation and is energy demanding. The results demonstrated that the attitudes of students of Health education were consistent with the theoretical knowledge and the profile of a graduate from this field of study. The results also correspond with the content of the curriculum defined by the Czech curricular documents.

The seminal theories that describe human development during the college years were developed several decades ago using research conducted with homogenous groups of college students that resemble the demographic characteristics of 21 st Century college students in very few ways. The current population is more diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, age, socioeconomic status, academic preparation, immigration status, and disability than the college student population has ever been in the history of higher education. This review highlights recent research on how the current diverse population of college students interacts within the campus environment. The review considers the current research on how college affects 21 st century college students, and how students develop in terms of career, cognitive, and psychological development during the college years. Also important to consider is the kind of social and cultural capital that diverse college students bring to college that helps them achieve academic and career success.
