Family relationship also significantly predicted perceived stress. t(255) =-11.756). Gender, educational qualification and job status jointly predicted perceived stress(R=.117, t=-2.611). There was significant main effect of self-efficacy on stress (F (1,223) =28.382), there was significant main effect on family relationship on stress (F (1,227) =23.272).
