Abstract
Stress is an increasingly dilapidating factor among most individuals. Therefore the aim of this study is to identify the relationship between age, gender and perceived stress among international postgraduate students in Malaysia. Using a web administered survey, 222 respondents were selected via stratified random sampling technique. Perceived stress scale (Cohen et al., 1983) was used to measure stress. Frequencies, percentages, mean score and Chi-square was used to highlight the findings of the study. Results of the research revealed high stress levels of about 40% among the respondents. More so, the findings indicated no significant relationship between age, gender and perceived stress (p > .05). Later studies may consider other demographic variables as possible significant correlates of perceived stress, given the findings of the present study.
