Abstract

The current study investigated the stressors of some of their related factors in high school
students in Ardabil city and the. In one cross sectional study, 157 persons were selected
through multistage random cluster sampling frome among high school students population
in Ardabil during 2010-2011 school year. They responded to the demographic and the
adolescent stress questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by t test, one way
ANOVA and the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that stressors related to
concern about the future, not enough money to buy the wanted things, having to make
decisions about future work or education, putting pressure on self to meet future goals and
being ignored or rejected by the loved person were respectively the main five stressor of the
subjects. The stress severity of romantic relationships and peer pressure factors were higher
in the female students and the stress severity of future uncertainty and school/leisure
conflict factors were higher in the male students. Stress of future uncertainty had high
severity in weak socio-economic situation. The stressors of the future uncertainty and
school/leisure conflict were related to the age. These results reveal that high school students
are at risk for experiencing multiple stressors. This suggests the importance of training
stress management skills in school environments.
