Relación entre el nivel de estrés y la toma de decisiones en estudiantes de 14 a 18 años de edad que cursan bachillerato en unidades educativas de la ciudad de Azogues

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between stress levels and decision-making patterns among adolescents aged 14 to 18 who are enrolled in high school in the city of Azogues. A quantitative approach was employed, using a non-experimental, cross-sectional design with a descriptive-correlational scope. The sample consisted of 300 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data was collected using two validated instruments: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the General Decision-Making Style Scale (GDMS).
