Grit is a positive component and the major factor within an individual that enables one to overcome barriers and achieve their long-term goals with hard work and dedication whereas Perceived Stress is the perception and evaluation of one’s current life situation. It refers to the way how individuals view and interpret the difficulties and daily hassles they are exposed to. This research is about “A Study on Grit and Perceived Stress among Final Year Students (Undergraduate)”. It is intended to study the relationship and the influence of grit on perceived stress levels specifically among final-year students (Undergraduate). The primary goals of the study are to find the Grit level, Perceived Stress level, and the relationship between them. Final-year students of undergraduate are taken as the sample. Tools used are the 12-Item Grit Scale by Angela Duckworth, A.L. et al (2007), and The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) by Cohen et al (1983). This is a correlational study conducted among 165 final-year students of undergraduate from the course stream of Arts and Science and to collect data from the samples (n = 165) the Random sampling method is utilized. Pearson correlation coefficient for the variables Perceived Stress and Grit is -.350 which is significant at the level 0.01. Hence, the results indicate that there is a weak negative correlation between the variables. Also, the research provides an understanding of the importance among students to focus on and develop their grit level to cope with their perceived stress level.Metrics
