Participaram 2.157 estudantes, oriundos das cinco regiões do país e de todas as áreas do conhecimento. Além da coleta do perfil sociodemográfico e de dados relativos à formação acadêmica e trabalho, aplicou-se a Escala de Estresse Percebido (PSS) e uma lista contendo 28 possíveis estressores da pós-graduação. Nos resultados, validou-se uma Escala de Preocupações e foi construído um Indicador de Dificuldades. Por fim, constatou-se que o Tempo e Recursos Financeiros foram os principais estressores e as mulheres exibiram maiores índices de estresse, não havendo diferenças entre mestrandos e doutorandos ou por área do conhecimento.Instituto de Psicologia - Universidade de Brasília2013-04-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/revistaptp/article/view/17589Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2013): Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 51 - 60Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 29 Núm. 1 (2013): Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 51 - 60Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; Vol. 29 No. 1 (2013): Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 51 - 60Psicologia: Teoria e Pesquisa; v. 29 n. 1 (2013): Revista Psicologia: teoria e pesquisa; 51 - 601806-34460102-3772reponame:Psicologia (Universidade de Brasília.
