The PG Department of Psychology, SCAS hosted a program titled “Academic Stress and Psychological Well-being Awareness” during February and March 2026. The core activity was executed on Friday, February 27, 2026, at 2:30 PM in the 1st-year UG classroom. The initiative was led by 2nd year M.Sc. Clinical Psychology and M.Sc. Psychology students under the supervision of Assistant Professor and Counselor Ms. Kathlyn Bennett. The program aimed to help undergraduate students attain awareness of academic stress and Psychological well being in Psychology UG students while providing PG students with practical, field-based experience to supplement their theoretical knowledge.
The study employed a descriptive and correlational research design focusing on 1st and 2nd year B.Sc. Psychology students. The primary objective was to assess levels of examination and classroom-related stress and their relationship with psychological well-being, which involves maintaining emotional balance and effective daily functioning. Standardized tools, including an Academic Stress Inventory and a Psychological Well-being Scale, were administered systematically after establishing rapport and ensuring participant confidentiality. Postgraduate students managed all technical aspects, including tool distribution, scoring, and data coding.
