Through this study, the researcher seeks to explore the relationship between self-assertion and the level of perception of psychological stress among students at Khemis Miliana University and to determine the degree of self-assertion and the level of perception of psychological stress among them. The study was applied to a sample of 89 male and female students randomly selected from faculty of social sciences and Humanities for the academic year 2019-2020. The researcher used the descriptive correlational approach, relying on the Rathus Self-Assertion Scale (Rathus, 1978) and the Psychological Stress Perception Scale prepared by (Levenstein, et al 1993). The findings revealed that the students' scores were moderate on both scales (self-assertion and perception of psychological stress), with a statistically significant weak negative relationship at the level (0.05) between the two variables (level of self-assertion and level of perception of psychological stress).
