The study found a significant positive correlation between academic pressure and anxiety, while Mental Toughness showed significant negative correlations with both academic pressure and anxiety. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 503 adolescents from 31 provinces across the country using a cluster sampling method to explore the relationship between academic stress and anxiety. The study also investigated the mechanism of Mental Toughness and social support in this relationship, as well as any differences in demographic variables. Mental Toughness partially mediates the relationship between academic stress and anxiety, while social support moderates the relationship between Mental Toughness and anxiety. Adolescents generally experience medium to low academic pressure, report good anxiety status, and exhibit medium to high levels of Mental Toughness and social support. Significant differences exist in academic pressure among adolescents based on gender and school type. Additionally, there are significant differences in adolescent anxiety based on grade and school type, as well as in adolescent social support based on gender and school type. The research findings demonstrate the correlation between academic stress and anxiety, the underlying mechanism, and the variations in demographic variables, offering recommendations for assisting adolescents in mitigating the adverse effects of academic pressure on anxiety and enhancing their academic and mental well-being.
