The Effects of Outdoor Experiential Training on Perceptions of College Stress
Abstract
Students in graduate school experience stress associated with a fear of failure. Heightened stress responses typically occur in situations where students are required to absorb a vast quantity of information in a limited time. Student reports of stress induced anxiety and depression are further exacerbated by an inability to satisfy basic social, recreational, family and financial needs. Outdoor experiential training (OET) activities as a component of student development initiatives have been designed to assist students with the stress caused by the demands of college. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a one-day OET experience on graduate students' perceptions of stress. Using a quasi-experimental design, the results of this study indicated that several mood states, including anxiety-tension, vigor-activity, and depression-dejection, were significantly reduced by a one-day OET experience.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
