Abstract: This study introduces and highlights the importance of assessing psychological stress among university students and its relationship with emotional maturity, which is regarded as one of the main foundations of mental health. Based on the researcher’s observations of third-year students, difficulties were noted in identifying the correlation between these two variables, which defined the purpose of the research. The theoretical section explains the concepts of psychological stress and emotional maturity and discusses their significance in the sports field. The study adopted the descriptive survey method, applied to a genuine research population consisting of third-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences. Two instruments were used: a psychological stress scale (33 items) and an emotional maturity scale (25 items). Both tools were validated by experts before application. Findings indicated that the students demonstrated an average level of both psychological stress and emotional maturity. The research recommends encouraging students to attend lectures regularly, engage in daily reading, and avoid postponing academic work until examination periods in order to reduce anxiety and fear.
