    (UAS, Dharwad, 2007) Gayatri Biradar; V.S.Yadav
    The study of stressful life events and behavioural problems on a random sample of 416 PUC students of science, commerce and arts selected from 5 colleges in Bidar city. Stressful life events schedule and Revised Behavioural Problem Scale (Quay and Peterson, 1986) were used. The data were subjected to frequency, percentage, t-test and correlation analyses. The results revealed that expectation of father and mother to follow strict schedule in day to day activities by the student, argument between the mother and the student, argument between the brother and student and sister and student, criticism of brothers, experiencing financial problem, in love with a friend, having the problem of English language, developing the problem of pimples and feeling tired, experiencing unnecessary tension and fear were the first order stressors. Correspondingly, getting angry easily, telling lie to protect their friends, violating rules and regulation, forgetting simple things easily, wanted to be a child, doing new things in a new way and strange ideas come to their mind were the first order behavioural problems. There was no significant difference between class of the students on components of stressful life events and stressors, components of behavioural problems and behavioural problems. But there was significant difference between gender on components of stressful life events viz., family relations, peer relations, academic stressors, overall stressors and on components of behavioural problem such as conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, psychotic behaviour and behavioural problems. As the stressful life events among the students increased the behavioural problems had also increased significantly, thus the components of stressful life events such as family relations, academic stressors, physical health and psychological stressors had significantly contributed to behavioural problems.
