Table 4.7
From table 4.7, we can see that under the measurement of central tendency, the mean
of the mental stress is 3.7713. Furthermore, the median is 3.8333. On the other hand, under
the measurement of dispersion, the range of the mental stress is 6.00. However, the variance
is 1.190. Meanwhile, the standard deviation is 1.09104 and the interquartile range is 1.56.

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction
Refer to the Tests of Normality as above, the significant value is showing as 0.623 (greater
than 0.05). Thus, the test of normality is normal.
According to the graphical examination, the skewness of value, which considered as
normal distribution is within -1.96 to +1.96. From table 4.7, the skewness value is showing as
0.6613 (0.123/0.186) that implied a positive direction. Based on the histogram, the graph
show data is not normally distribution. Besides that, the graph also shows the positive
kurtosis with the value of 0.2141 (0.079/0.369), which has showed an obvious peak to the
graph.
Normal Q-Q Plot shows that the data are not normally distributed as data points stray from the line.
The Boxplot also show that the data are not normally distributed, with the median value of 3.8333
(minimum value = 1, maximum value = 7)
4.3 Reliability Analysis
Cronbachs alpha for each variable was computed in order to test the reliability.
Cronbachs alpha indicates how well the items in a set are positively correlated to one
another. The closer Cronbachs alpha to 1, the higher the internal consistency reliability. From
the table above, the dependent variable, which is mental stress, has a Cronbachs alpha of
0.907. Meanwhile, Cronbachs alpha for independent variables are 0.896 and 0.788, which is
academic, and environment respectively.
According to Nunnally (1978), the Cronbachs alpha of 0.9 and above is excellent. It
shows that a high level of internal consistency of the items and the items are highly
correlated. From the reliability analysis table, all the alpha showed that each variable is
higher that 0.70. Thus, it can be concluded that all variables are positively correlated to one
another.

Table 4.11
In this test, we are using Dependent variable, which is mental stress, and nominal variable,
which is gender. This test shows that whether there is significant different in mental stress
among the female and male. Independent test also shows the Levenes test for equality of
variances. From table 4.11, the significant value of Levenes test is 0.066, it is not significant
(p<0.05). Therefore, this means equal variance assumed. The significant value (2-tailed) is 0.863
which is bigger than 0.005, it is not a significant value. Therefore, H0 is accepted and H1 is
rejected, there is a no mean difference of mental stress between male and female.
4.5 ANOVA
ANOVA test is used for comparing the mean between multi groups. We want to test whether
there are significant different in mental stress among study year.

Sum of Squares df Mean Square F Sig.
There is no significant effect of years of study on mental stress at p<0.05 level for three
conditions. [F (4,166) = 0.71, p=0.590]
From table 4.12, the significant level 0.590 is larger than 0.05, which is not significant.
Therefore, we accept null hypothesis HO, there is no mean difference in study year on mental
stress.

Table 4.15
According to Coefficients Table, the significant value for academic is 0.205 which is
p>0.05. Therefore, academic has no significant relationship with mental stress.
Meanwhile, the significant value for environment is 0.000 which is p<0.05. Therefore,
environment has a significant and positive relationship on mental stress.
Hypothesis 1
H0: There is no relationship between academic and mental stress.
H1: There is a relationship between academic and mental stress.
From the table 4.15 above, the Beta value for academic is 0.092. The significant value for
academic is 0.205 which is not significant as p>0.05. Thus, the H0 is accepted and H1 is
rejected.
Hypothesis 2
H0: There is no relationship between environments to mental stress.
H1: There is a relationship between environments to mental stress.
From the table 4.15 above, the Beta value for environment is 0.351. The significant value
for environment is 0.000 which is significant as p<0.05. Thus, H1 is accepted and H0 is
rejected.
