| Abstract: | The research paper aimed to investigate the relationship between internationally mobile (IM) student status and academic stress with a focus on the moderating role of generic sense of ability to adapt (GSA). Since IM students undergo different challenges and experience a variety of stressors it was expected that they would have higher academic stress. The GSA is crucial in the context of adapting to the new environment and coping with the challenges along the academic pathway. Hence, it was expected that GSA would moderate the direct relationship between IM status and academic stress. A quantitative cross-sectional design was implemented, using the Perception of Academic Stress Scale (PAS) and Generic Sense of Ability to Adapt Scale (GSAAS) to measure academic stress and GSA. The simple linear regression analysis revealed that IM student status did not have a significant effect on academic stress. The moderation analysis that was done using the PROCESS macro outlined that GSA did not moderate the relationship between IM student status and academic stress. However, findings revealed that GSA significantly predicted academic stress. |
