Evaluating and Assessing Environmental and Psychological Experiences of Saudi Students at a Saudi University

Abstract

Studying at the university level comes with many diverse challenges. Students face difficulties regardless of being graduates or undergraduates, and they come from overlapping academic and sociocultural backgrounds. The extent of the research so far has not focused on Saudi student experiences, but it has shown that even a single negative event can dramatically reduce the chances of a student completing a degree. A single group pretest (survey) design was used in this study. Findings suggest depression stress and college stress predict stress levels, while subjective happiness predicts levels of scientific participations of the sample. Moreover, depression stress shows more consistency with hours spent on the Internet for study purposes.
