dc.description.abstractSeveral factors have been identified as being responsible for the poor academic achievements of students in Nigerian Universities. However, stress levels experienced by students, could be other plausible factor that could be implicated. This study was a descriptive survey design which aims at investigating the possible effects of gender and stress levels on students’ academic achievements. The population for this study comprised all Nigerian University students in the South East Geo-Political Zone (Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi and Imo). The sample consists of one thousand eight hundred (1800) respondents from the six randomly selected universities. Three research questions and three hypotheses were generated for the study. A research instrument called Stress Rating Scale for Students; (SRSS) was developed and used for data collection. A proforma was also developed and used for collection of students’ GP on their General Studies GS (Use of English). Data collected were analyzed using chisquare statistics; Mean Ratings; Frequency and Percentage Distributions. Results show that a significant difference exists between the academic achievements of male and female Nigerian university students who experienced high and low levels of stress. Stress level was also found to be a great contributor to students’ poor academic achievements. It was therefore recommended among others that, educational psychologists and counselors should introduce more appropriate coping strategies which will help students to overcome their stressors.en_US
