Relationship between community events and activities on campus and student stress

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

In our present study, we investigated whether frequency of engagement in community events and activities on the UBC campus influence student’s stress levels on campus. In order to find the correlation between year-level & stress level of students with frequency of engagement in annual campus events and activities, we conducted a self-report online survey where participants were asked to provide answers to the questions regarding their perceived stress level and frequency of engagement with community events on campus. We have found that there is no correlation between the year-level & stress level with the frequency of engagement. We have obtained the result by calculating the Pearson’s correlation coefficient and the value r=-0.0011 indicated that there is no significant correlation. Moreover, the means of stress level for Freshmen and Seniors were relatively similar (M=23.21 for freshmen and M=22.72 for seniors) indicating that perceived stress plateaus throughout university experience regardless of their engagement in community events.
