ABSTRACT
This paper analysed the relation of girlfriend’s effect (GFE) with perceived stress (PS), and also considered Islamic religious values (RVs) as a moderating variable. The selection technique used was convenience sampling that helped the investigation to select 90 respondents who filled self-report measures about various constructs. Linear regression was employed to test different conceptual linkages material to this work. The results show that there is no significant relation present between RVs and PS. Moderating hypothesis was also rejected. However, GFE predicted notable degree of PS in the sample. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.
