| dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_US |
