Date of Completion :
A total of 231 second level college students of Foundation University were
surveyed using the Adolescent Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences (A-
COPE) questionnaire as the main research instrument. It aimed to detemine the
sources, type of stressors, and the coping strategies adopted by these respondents
upon experiencing such stressors. It further attempted to test the existence of
correlation between age and gender. Data were statistically treated using frequency
cOunt, percentage, mean weight, and ranking. Chi-square was utilized to detemine
significant correlation. Findings reveal that majority of the respondents were females (64.07%), with
only 35.93% males and mostly within the age bracket 17-18 (53.68%);: although,
there were significant number from age bracket 19 and up (46.32. Top sOurces of
stressors include: (1) academic deadlines (51.52%): (2) budgeting money (51.08%);
(3) professional pursuits (48.92%); and (4) peer groups and peer pressures
(41.99%). Likewise, the top four coping strategies include: (1) investing in close
friends (4.56 mean average, most of the time); (2) engaging in demanding activity
(3.26, sometimes); (3) being humorous (3.21, sometimes); and (4) developing social
support (3.2, sometimes). Findings further reveal that age and gender do not have
significant correlation with coping strategies.
Hence, college students respond to varied stressors similarly regardless of
age and sex.
