    The study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Shortened Indonesian Academic Stress Scale (SIVASS) for adolescents.

  • 2

    SIVASS was developed by shortening the original Academic Stress Scale (ASS) from 38 to 16 items, focusing on relevant stress domains.

  • 3

    Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the validity of SIVASS, with a good model fit and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.91).

  • 4

    The most significant source of academic-related stress identified was the fear of disappointing parents regarding academic performance.

  • 5

    SIVASS is a reliable tool for assessing academic-related stress among Indonesian adolescents in various educational contexts.
