摘要：The period of transition between high school and tertiary education can be overwhelming to pre-university college students. It involves phases of adaptation as well as overcoming discomfort and challenges. In the process of adaptation, stress can be inevitable. Stress is known to influence one’s psychological well-being and if not well managed, it can be detrimental to an individual’s life and the individual may not be able to fully execute important daily tasks. College students may encounter stress in the dimensions of academic, financial, family, peers, and college surroundings with having to hold different roles and responsibilities as students. This situation may inevitably cause stress among students themselves. The stress experienced by these students can potentially affect their psychological well-being. Therefore, investigating students’ level of stress and examining how stress can affect their psychological well-being is necessary. The current study sought to investigate the relationship of stress and psychological well-being of TESL Foundation students in UiTM. The survey questionnaires were randomly distributed to 222 participants. Student Stress inventory and Psychological Well-Being (PWB) scales were utilized to gather the data. Findings revealed an inversed moderate significant relationship between stress and psychological well-being among TESL foundation students. Implications and recommendations were suggested and discussed.
