The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention and stress management behavior of lower secondary students. Study sample consisted of 400 lower secondary students with moderate stress and above. Subjects were selected by multi-stage random sampling. Instruments included the demographic data questionnaire, attitude towards stress management behavior questionnaire, subjective norm questionnaire, perceived behavioral control questionnaire, intention to stress management behavior questionnaire, and stress management behavior of lower secondary students questionnaire. Content validity for all questionnaires was reviewed by a panel of experts. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were .81, .91, .86, and .76 respectively. Descriptive statistics pearson product-moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression were used for statistical analysis. The results were as follows: 1.Forty-six percent of lower secondary students performed stress management behavior at the medium level. 2.There were positive correlations between attitude towards stress management behavior, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, intention to stress management behavior, and stress management behavior of lower secondary students at the level of .05 (r = .261, .238, .288, and .307 respectively) 3.Intention to stress management behavior and attitude towards stress management behavior significantly predicted 10.7 % of the variance of stress management behavior in lower secondary students at the level of .05. The equation derived from the standardized score was: Stress management behavior = .234Z intention + .134Z attitude
