Exams time: the influence of short term stressful events
Exams time: the influence of short term stressful events

Summary/Abstract: In this study 80 freshmen education students responded to a questionnaire package concerning causal attributions for stressful life events, perceived affective state, problem-solving abilities, and level of procrastination. Results suggest that the stress experienced by freshmen students, due to end of semester exam session, might exacerbate the perception of previously lived stressful life events. Students who experienced a traumatic event of moderate to high level will report after the exams session increased levels of procrastination, less problem-solving abilities, and an increased level of potential depression symptoms.
