{"abstract":"This study examined the relationship between academic stress and self-concept among freshmen students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management program. Specifically, it determined the levels of academic stress and self-concept and investigated whether a significant relationship existed between these variables. The study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. A total of 61 freshmen students participated in the study through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire that underwent expert validation to ensure content validity. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were utilized to determine the levels of academic stress and self-concept, while the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was employed to test the relationship between the variables at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the respondents experienced an average level of academic stress (M = 3.42, SD = 0.52), indicating that academic demands were generally manageable despite the challenges associated with adjusting to university life. Meanwhile, the respondents demonstrated an above-average level of self-concept (M = 3.94, SD = 0.85), suggesting a generally positive perception of their abilities and self-worth. Correlation analysis revealed a low positive but statistically significant relationship between academic stress and self-concept (r = .325, p = .011). The result indicates that students with higher self-concept may also experience slightly higher academic stress, possibly due to elevated personal expectations and achievement-oriented behaviors. The study concludes that self-concept and academic stress are significantly related among Hospitality Management freshmen. Educational institutions should strengthen academic resilience, stress management initiatives, and self-development programs to promote student well-being and support successful adjustment to higher education.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Bernadette Maming","Butch Christian Fiolog","Jaysoh Lumanlan","Jeralyn Fernando","Diane Alonzo","Althea Jane Artocilla","Jenelyn Perucho","Joshua Escultura","Diana Excelsis Ragodos","John Mark Guillero","John Paul Sullano","Niño Sacapaño","Angelyn Aquino","Cherry Escarilla","Krystle Marie Compuesto","Mary Criss Tus","Jhoselle Tus"],"date":"2026-06-27","doi":"10.70838/pemj.580902","id":8236,"issue":9,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"d089e0598f74abfaaab6c2351ee4d7b37fb285b81f878915d2438bda1c0ffcf6","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Academic Stress and Its Relationship to the Self-Concept Among Freshmen Students in the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management","volume":58}
