Abstract
The present study entitled “Relationship of family environment and school environment with
educational anxiety of adolescents”. The study was carried out in Government rural and urban
schools of Ludhiana district. The total sample comprised 200 adolescents (100 rural and 100
urban) in the age group of 17-18 years. Personal information sheet, Educational Anxiety
Inventory (Sood and Anand 2012), Family Environment Scale (Bhatia and Chadha 1993) and
School Environment Scale (Misra 2012) were used to collect the data. The findings of the
study revealed that more number of females experienced educational anxiety at average level
than males. Rural adolescents had more educational anxiety as compared to urban
adolescents. Majority of the adolescents (male and female) experienced their family
environment at average level. Majority of urban adolescents experienced their family
environment at average level than rural adolescents. Males perceived high level in all the
dimensions of school environment. Significant locale differences were found in case of
permissiveness and rejection only. In case of females correlation analysis between family
environment and educational anxiety was found to be significant and inversely associated
with educational anxiety except in one dimension i.e conflict, whereas in males correlation
was significant and inverse in active- recreational dimension only. Rural adolescents
presented significant but inverse relationship of family environment with educational anxiety
except in two dimension i.e organization and conflict. Among males correlation analysis
between school environment and educational anxiety were found to be non significant apart
from one dimension i.e cognitive encouragement and in case of females correlation analysis
were found to be significant and inversely associated with educational anxiety and
dimensions like creative stimulation and acceptance. Non significant correlation was found in
the dimensions of school environment apart from two dimensions i.e creative stimulation and
