    Stress Inoculation Training- a Boon for School Children
    (2012) Arockia Maraichelvi, K
    Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that demand exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to m obilise. Studies o f stress have shown that stress imposes a h igh co st on individual’s productivity, health and happiness. The student’s perception o f an action or behavior can,precipitate whether the stress is good or bad for them. School children today face increasing amounts o f schoolwork, a rapidly changing curriculum, assignment deadlines and exams; they worry about selecting careers and post secondary programs, and they must balance schoolwork with sports, hobbies and social life. Stress hroculation Training (SIT) has been einployed on a treatment basis to help individuals cope with the aftermath o f exposure to stressful events and on a preventative basis to “inoculate” individuals to iiiture and ongoing stressors. The primary purpose o f stress inoculation, training is to prepare the individual to perform effectively in the stress environment. The SIT approach is defined by a three-stage training intervention. In the initial conceptualization phase a collaborative relationship is established between the children and the trainer; and the children will gain knowledge and familiarity with the stress enviroranerit. The second phase o f Stress Inoculation focuses on skills acquisition and rehearsal that follows naturally from the initial conceptualization phase. This phase allows the children to maintain effective performance under stress. The final phase o f stress inoculation provides opportunities for the student to apply the variety o f coping skills across increasing levels o f stressors, the inoculation techniques such’as imagery and behavioral rehearsal, modeling, role-playing, and graded in vivo exposure in the form o f ‘personal experiments ’ are employed,, thereby building their performance confidence.

    Stress Level of 8™ Grade Students - Institution Specific Differences
    (2013) Arockia Maraichelvi, K
    Adolescence is suggestive o f some ancient period o f storm and stress. Students o f our generation face unparalleled pressure and challenges with society’s current emphasis on academic perfection. Stress manifests from the change in an individual’s thinking and their way o f life style. Students in their teens are the ones who are going through the transitional phase, which is an intermediate o f childhood and adulthood. Present study was undertaken to examine the perceived level o f stress among specific institutional differences and also to see relationship between the two independent variables (gender and age). For that purpose 528 students o f class 8th were selected randomly from two different schools out o f which 355 were taken from private and the remaining 173 were taken from government school. Questionnaire to elicit the general background o f the selected children and checklist to assess the stress level o f school children was used. Results indicated that magnitude o f stress was significantly higher among the government school students where as private school students were significantly better in terms o f their level o f stress. However, significant relationships between schools were found. For both the group o f students interaction between the student gender and the type o f school were found that private school boys are more stressed than their counterpart. Significant relationships between student age and type o f school were found for the both groups o f students and for each type o f school. This could be prominent that private schools student are less stress than counterpart. All students must be counselled for their high level o f stress with special focus on Government school students so that their approach to deal with stress can be changed.
