Dr. Sandeep Kumar

Abstract :

 Out of number of stresses faced by adolescents and young adults, academic stress emerges as significant mental health problem in recent years (Rangaswamy,1995). Many school students, disabled and non–disabled, undergo considerable academic stress that affects their academic performance, psychosocial adjustment along with their overall emotional and physical well–being. In an academic situation, such as school, a student reacts in the form of mental distress to an anticipated frustration associated with failure in annual examination or even to the awareness of the possibility of such failure (Gupta & Khan, 1987). Thus, academic stress has been reported as an important factor influencing individuals’ various behaviours, activities and academic performance. This paper is an attempt to underlines the basic concept, sources and effects of academic stress on the students.
