SUMMARY:

Stress is considered a psychological phenomenon in which the subject interprets a situation as potentially capable of modifying a subject's state of subjective well-being. Some authors point out that high levels of stress for very long periods can lead to symptoms of psychological discomfort, in this sense, stress, which is naturally adaptive, ends up generating maladaptive behaviors. On the other hand, the phenomenon can be evaluated from different contexts, such as minority stress, organizational and even academic stress. This study proposes to adapt the Academic Stress Scale (ASS) to the context of graduate students, in addition to gathering evidence of the instrument's validity and accuracy. It is also important to emphasize that the measure is available for large-scale application in the context of undergraduate students, since 2018, and university professors, as of 2022. Therefore, it can be inferred that the adaptation to the target context of this study will make it possible to compare academic stress in almost all groups of people who attend academia, leaving only the group of administrative technicians. In view of this, the instrument will be subjected to qualitative and quantitative analysis, therefore, the content validity will be evaluated based on Semantic Analysis and Judges, in order to attest to the clarity, practical relevance and theoretical relevance of the instrument, in order to refine the measure for large-scale application. Subsequently, the validity based on the instrument's internal structure will be measured, based on the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the factor structure found in previous studies. On the other hand, the Item Response Theory (IRT) will be employed in order to evaluate the individual parameters of the items (difficulty and discrimination). Furthermore, the instrument's internal consistency will be measured using the Cronbach's Alpha (⍺), McDonald's Omega (ω) and Composite Reliability (C.C.) indicators. Subsequently, a data collection considering the three versions of the EEA will be carried out, also counting on the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Therefore, comparative and associative analyzes will be carried out between the three versions of academic stress and the indicators of psychological distress investigated in this study.
