Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara stres akademis dengan psychological well being pada mahasiswa tahun pertama Universitas Indonesia. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 122 mahasiswa tingkat pertama berusia 17-20 yang sedang menempuh semester dua di Universitas Indonesia. Pengukuran psychological well-being menggunakan alat ukur Ryff?s Psychological Well- Being Scale (1995) yang telah diadaptasi oleh Yorike dan rekan-rekan payung penelitian psychological well-being tahun 2011. Pengukuran stres akademis menggunakan alat ukur Student-Life Stress Inventory yang dikembangkan oleh Gadzella (1994) dan telah diadaptasikan ke dalam konteks bahasa Indonesia. Berdasarkan hasil penghitungan korelasi Pearson Product Moment, diperoleh hubungan yang negatif dan signifikan antara stres akademis dan psychological well -being pada mahasiswa tahun pertama Universitas Indonesia. Semakin tinggi skor stres akademis yang dimiliki maka semakin tinggi skor psychological wellbeing, begitu pula sebaliknya.
