Determining How Cognitive Style Affects the Perception of Stress of the SMCQC College Students

Abstract

The researchers wanted to determine how cognitive style affects the perception of stress. The researchers gathered 30 respondents who were currently enrolled in SMCQC. The results of the instruments used were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine the relationship between cognitive style and stress. The results yielded a significant relationship between the cognitive style, planning, and stress scale scores. No significant relationship was found with the cognitive style creating and knowing, and the stress scores of participants. Also, the researchers found a significant relationship between academic performances and stress scale scores.
