Abstract :

Anxiety has become a common symptom of the present day, The unemployment, poverty, economic – hardship, communal and racial prejudices, ecological imbalances, environmental pollution as well fast changing social structure are the some important factors responsible for Anxiety. The necessity of the study arises due to fact that the fresher when enters the college feels a great anxiety, firstly due to extreme change between the environment of school and college, secondly due to high level of courses, and entirely different pattern of teaching as compared to school. Inspite of these the fear of ragging by seniors creates a lot of fear, stress and anxiety among fresher. Apart from these negative–factors fresher has to decide about his future also. Due to all these factors anxiety level of fresher is very high compared to senior college–going girls. A sample, consisted of 60 college going girls student was taken, comprising of 30 students of each; Fresher and senior students. Concept of "fresher" means newly admitted student in college, and "Senior" defines students already studying in college. Data were obtained through an Anxiety–test of the selected sample. For statistical analysis ‘F–test‘ was employed, for testing the significant difference between the two selected groups, For the study of comparison "Null Hypothesis" was adopted. The result obtained shows that Null hypothesis was rejected. And a significant difference on anxiety level of fresher and senior–college–going–girls–student was obtained. The difference occurs due to fact that fresher‘s are very new to the college environment in all respects, where as the seniors were already accustomed with all the matters of the college.
