A Study Of Psychological Well-Being Of Higher Secondary School Adolescents

Abstract

The present study was designed to compare the Psychological Well-Being of Higher Secondary School Adolescents. For this, a sample of 636 Higher Secondary School Adolescents from the various types of schools (Private=327, Government=185, and Central Government=126) was drawn using Stratified Sampling Method. All the selected subjects were administered with the Psychological Well-being Scale by Dr. Sisodia and Choudhary (2012). Subsequently, the data was analyzed using the descriptive statistical method by ANOVA test. The obtained findings revealed significant differences between Higher Secondary School Adolescents. The Satisfaction (F=4.342, p>.05) and Sociability (F=7.785, p>.05) dimensions of well-being were significant across the Type of the schools. Still, the three groups did not differ significantly on the rest of the dimensions: Efficiency, Mental Health, Interpersonal Relationship, and total Psychological Well-Being.
