The present study aims to identify the level of life stress among students of the Psychology Department at the College of Humanities, University of Duhok, and to examine the relationship between life stress and attitudes toward migration. The study adopted the descriptive correlational method, as it is appropriate for achieving the research objectives.

The research sample consisted of a group of Psychology Department students selected using an appropriate sampling method. Data were collected using a Life Stress Scale and an Attitudes Toward Migration Scale, after verifying their validity and reliability.

The results revealed a notable level of life stress among students. In addition, the findings indicated a statistically significant relationship between life stress and attitudes toward migration, showing that higher levels of life stress were associated with stronger positive attitudes toward migration among students. This suggests that psychological, social, and economic pressures experienced by students may contribute to their increased tendency to consider migration in search of better living and psychological conditions.

Based on the results, the study recommends the importance of enhancing psychological support services at universities, providing counseling and guidance programs for students, and working to reduce the pressures they face in order to strengthen their sense of stability and belonging to society.
