STRESSED OUT – A STUDY ON THE POST GRADUATE STUDENTS

Stressful living is the inception of the problems engulfing mankind. The purpose of the study was to focus on the factors that lead to stress in students. The secondary purpose was to find out these stress factors effect on development of the students. The factor analysis and the discriminant analysis were used for the study. Four constructs emerged in the factor analysis, which were the components of variables that created stress among the students. The conflicts and separation constructs have more influence than other factors on the development students. Hence the discriminant function named as conflict and separation anxiety was found with the co-efficient of these constructs that could predict the influence of these four factors on the development of the students.
