Data was collected through questionnaires. The respondents were first year students in UNSYIAH (n = 364) with ranging age from 16 to 21. Respondents completed the Multi Dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Students Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ), and Student Life Stress Inventory (SLSI). Multiple Regression Analysis was used to analyze the contribution of social support aspects and adjustment aspects to academic stress. The results revealed that the sample reported moderate levels of social support, adjustment, and academic stress. Two aspects of social support and one aspect of adjustment, namely friend support, significant other support, and social adjustment significantly contributed to academic stress. In addition, friend support, significant other support, and social adjustment jointly contributed to academic stress. In this study, it is important to highlight that the social adjustment provided the biggest contribution to academic stress among first year students. 2014 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1625 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=1625 text eng N/A openAccess Masters Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Pembangunan Manusia N/A
