Perceived Stress, Anxiety, and Depression among Mizo Women
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
The present study aims to explore the relationship between perceived stress, anxiety, and depression among Mizo women. In addition, the study attempts to highlight the predictability of perceived stress and anxiety on depression. Data is collected from a random sample of forty-three (43) Mizo educated women in Aizawl, with their age ranging between 18 to 39 ( M= 28.42 years). Results indicate significant positive relationships between perceived stress, anxiety and depression. The results further show that the variables significantly predicted depression and that perceived stress is the best predictor of depression accounting for a very large proportion of the variance. Intervention programs for women that reduce perceived stress and anxiety are needed in order to manage their effects on depression.
