Resumen

A study was designed with the aim to evaluate the academic environment stressors. As for this, the employed evaluation instruments currently were not adequately adapted to university setting assessment, or were not sufficiently exhaustive to cover the generating stress sources of academic stress. At the study, 1,196 undergraduate students of different university degrees endorsed the Stressor Academic Scale. The results supported a scale consisting of 54 items, structured around 8 factors explaining 66% of the variance. The scale showed to be reliable as a whole (α=0.96), ranging for factors between 0.81 and 0.94. The factors were: teachers’ methodological deficiencies; academic over-burden; beliefs about performances; public interventions; negative social environment; exams; content worthlessness; and participation difficulties.
