Impact of Academic Stress on Adolescent Male and Female

Abstract

This research set out to compare and contrast male and female high school students' levels of academic stress and academic performance. Given the scope of the investigation, a descriptive survey design was used. “ By using the Random Sampling Method, we were able to pick a representative sample of 100 students (50 male and 50 female) from across the senior secondary institutions in the Rohtak area who are now enrolled in the 12th grade. Abha Bisht's (2005) Academic Stress Test was utilised to quantify the mental toll of keeping up with schoolwork, and academic success was calculated using each subject's cumulative 11th-grade grade point average. The data was analysed using the mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson's product method of correlation. It was discovered that I female students had greater academic accomplishment than male students, (ii) male and female students have similar levels of academic stress, and (iii) there is a negative correlation between teenage students' academic achievement and academic stress. This suggests that adolescents' academic performance declines when their levels of academic stress increase and vice versa.
