Abstract

The purpose of this study is to test the construct validity and construct reliability of the academic stress scale and examine the aspects and indicators that can form academic stress variables. Academic stress is measured by three aspects, namely cognitive, emotion, and social behavior. The population in this is students at the Faculty of Psychology, being in the final semester, and currently preparing a thesis at a private University "X" Yogyakarta. The sample in this study consists of 60 students. The sampling technique uses accidental sampling, and the data collection method is an academic stress scale. Research data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. Based on the results of data analysis, the aspects and indicators that make up the academic stress variable are declared valid and reliable. The dominant aspect that reflects academic stress is an emotion and the weakest aspect that reflects academic stress is a cognitive aspect. This shows that all aspects and indicators can reflect and shape academic stress. Thus, the measurement model can be accepted because the theory that describes the academic stress has been in accordance with the empirical data obtained from the subject.
