Abstract:<\/strong> This research examines the relationship between perceived stress and self-esteem among preuniversity students, with a focus on adolescents undergoing academic and psychosocial transitions. Selfesteem, defined as an individual\u2019s overall evaluation of self-worth (Rosenberg, 1965), plays a crucial role in emotional adjustment and academic functioning, while perceived stress reflects the extent to which individuals appraise life situations as overwhelming or uncontrollable (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). Increasing academic demands, competition, and future uncertainties make these psychological variables particularly relevant among students.A cross-sectional study was conducted with 121 pre-university students from different residential backgrounds. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson\u2019s correlation, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA using SPSS.The findings revealed moderate levels of perceived stress and self-esteem among participants. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between perceived stress and self-esteem. Gender differences indicated higher self-esteem among male students, whereas perceived stress did not vary significantly by gender. Residential comparisons showed significant differences in stress levels, with rural students reporting comparatively lower stress. Overall, the findings highlight the interconnected nature of stress and self-evaluation during adolescence and emphasize the importance of supportive educational environments that promote psychological well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
