With regards to PSS, majority of the respondents answered with a mean score of 2.55 (SD=0.853) to the question of how often have they been able to manage irritations in life. Respondents also mostly answered with a mean score of 2.49 (SD=0.756) to the question of how often have they feel nervous and stressed. For CES, the highest mean total score 2.40 (SD=1.42) is eat too much because of boredom. The findings of this study indicated that overall, the respondents experienced moderate levels of stress. It was also found that a significant weak positive relationship is found between eating habits and stress. 2018 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/99094/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/99094/1/99094.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA, Terengganu Faculty Of Hotel & Tourism Management Mohamad, Tajulurrus
