Abstract This study examines the correlation between academic stress and happiness in college-aged young adults, employing a correlational approach and quantitative methods to assess the impact on emotional well-being. With a sample of 240 predominantly college students from across the country, data were collected through self-report questionnaires, utilizing the reliable and valid Academic Stress Scale and Oxford Happiness Scale. The results reveal a statistically significant but relatively modest positive association between academic stress and happiness. Although happiness proves to be a robust predictor of academic stress, it explains only a small fraction of its variance. The relationship is deemed complex, influenced by various quantitative and qualitative factors. The study underscores the importance of a holistic approach to enhance student well-being and alleviate academic stress, emphasizing the need to address factors beyond happiness, including coping methods and support networks. Future research is encouraged to explore additional contributors to academic stress in young adults. In summary, this study contributes valuable insights into the intricate interplay between academic stress and happiness, enriching our understanding of student well-being and mental health complexities.
