According to Akgun, S. & Ciarrochi, J. (2003), in their study entitled Learned
resourcefulness moderates the relationship between academic stress and academic performance,
they hypothesized that highly resourceful students would be more effective than others at
protecting themselves from the adverse effects of academic stress, and not allowing that stress to
impact their grades. High academic stress adversely impacted the grades of low resourceful
students but had no effect on high resourceful students.
