The trial group of the research consisted of 52 volunteer female wrestlers studying in higher education in the province Batman. The research data were collected with "Work Stress Scale" developed by House and Rizzo (1972) adapted into Turkish by Yalçin (2009). In the analysis of data, the Mann Whitney-U and Kruskall Wallis-H tests were benefited from as well as the descriptive statistical techniques. As a result of the research, the female wrestlers were considered to experience stress occasionally.
