Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the comparison of academic stress between humanities & science stream undergraduate students. For this purpose ‘Academic Stress Scale’ by Dr. Taresh Bhatia & Dr. Madhuri Rawat was administered on 200 humanities and 200 science stream students of Lucknow areas. The Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.) and Critical Ratio were calculated of different subareas of academic stress. The results showed that the science stream college students have significantly high overall academic stress and high academic pressure than humanities stream students at 0.01 level. The science students have also significantly high academic conflicts & frustration than humanities stream students at 0.05 level. Although there is no significant difference of family problems & financial stress between humanities and science stream students at 0.05 level.
