dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted to assess the school environment and academic anxiety as correlates of mental health among rural adolescents. The study was based on 200 adolescents (i.e., 100 boys and 100 girls). The sample was purposively selected from two Government Senior Schools of villages Amarpura and Dutaranwali of Fazilka District. Self-structured personal information sheet was prepared to collect the general information of the adolescents. Mental Health Battery by Singh and Gupta (2000), School Environment Scale by (Misra 2012) and Educational Anxiety Inventory by Sood and Anand (2012) were used to assess the mental health, school environment and academic anxiety of the adolescents. Results revealed that majority of adolescents had average level of mental health, school environment and academic anxiety. Boys were found to be significantly better than their counterparts in most of the dimensions of mental health. Significant gender differences were observed in creative stimulation and permissiveness dimension of school environment where boys scored better than girls. Further, boys were found to had significantly high educational anxiety than girls. School environment was found significantly and positively correlated with adjustment, autonomy, intelligence dimensions as well as overall mental health of adolescents whereas significant and negative correlation was found between academic anxiety with emotional stability and autonomy dimensions of mental health. Cognitive encouragement, Creative stimulation of school environment contributed positively and significantly towards the mental health of the adolescents whereas academic anxiety was contributed significantly and negatively towards the mental health among rural adolescents. | en_US |
