Abstract: The present study is an all-encompassing research conducted on the first year Medical students of Malaysia. Medical students have a hard schedule counting clinical practice they are also essential to master enormous capacities of understanding. Medical success not only depends on memory and intelligence but also depends on how the student perceives and feels about the educational environment and the different ways the student adopts when faced with stressful situations during the medical education. The present research was conducted to understand the perception of learning of students in relation to escape avoidance, plan-full problem solving and self-controlling; and social self-perceptions in relation to accepting responsibility and seeking social support. The total sample for the study includes 41 Medical students of Phase-I year-1 2013 batch of USM-KLE International Medical Programme Belgaum, India. Firstly, it was hypothesized that students who have high perception of learning will have low escape avoidance, and high plan full problem solving and self-controlling. Secondly, it was hypothesized that those on high social self-perception have high level of accepting responsibility and high level of seeking social support. The obtained ‘t’ values are not signification for perception of learning of students in relation to the dimensions escape avoidance, plan-full problem solving and self-controlling but there exists a positive relation between the two dimensions of plan-full problem solving and self-controlling. On the other hand the obtained ‘t’ values for social self- perceptions in relation to the two dimensions accepting responsibility and seeking social support are also not significant but the their exist a positive relation between them.
