A study on stress stimuli among the students of physical education
Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to study the stress level of physical education students in a university. Level of stress due to different stimuli and level of coping strategy of men and women were measured by using the questionnaire. Thirty male and thirty female physical education students were randomly selected. Stress scores due to 1.Frustration and Inhibition, 2. Overload and 3.Compulsive, Time-urgent and Aggression were recorded for each student using the questionnaire. These subjects were also tested for their level of coping strategy. Scores obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 16.0. The results showed that the frustration and inhibition had significant correlation with time-urgent and aggressive stimuli in the PG men whereas, there was significant correlation between frustration and inhibition v/s overload stimuli among UG men. Similarly in the UG and PG women there was a significant correlation between frustration and inhibition v/s overload. Further, in PG women there was a negative relation between coping strategy and stress due to time-urgent and aggressive stimuli. Further, two way analysis of variance resulted that stress due to all the three stimuli i.e. frustration and inhibition (p=.003), overload (p=.049) and time-urgent and aggressive behavior (p=.042) were significantly higher among women in comparison to that of men irrespective of their classes. Whereas coping strategy (p=.048) was higher in men in comparison to that of women. In assessing the vulnerability towards stress it was observed that among the UG section 86.7% men were vulnerable to stress due to frustration and inhibition whereas 100% women were found to be vulnerable to the stress due to overload. In PG section 80% men were vulnerable to stress due to overload whereas 100% women were found to be vulnerable to stress due to time urgent and aggressive behavior. In the UG section 80% men and 60% women were having adequate or good coping strategies whereas in PG section 80% men and 46.75% women were having adequate or good coping strategies. Thus, it may be concluded that in general, women had inadequate coping strategies than that of men whereas, they were more vulnerable to stress due to different stimuli in comparison to that of men.
