The technique used to analyze the data in multiple regression analysis with the help of the JASP 0.16 application. The study results showed that self-adjustment, learning saturation, and grit affect academic stress simultaneously. The adjustment variable has a significant positive effect on academic stress. Saturation of learning affects academic stress in a positive and significant way. Furthermore, grit also has a significant negative effect on academic stress. It can be concluded that self-adjustment, learning saturation, and grit affect academic stress.
