A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Behaviour Modification Package on Stress among Adolescents at Selected Setting, Chennai
Abstract: This study evaluated the effectiveness of a behaviour-modification package to reduce stress among adolescents (N = 60) in a selected Chennai school. Using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test design and non-probability convenience sampling, participants (aged 13-15 years) completed a structured interview and questionnaire measuring stress-related practices before and after a behaviour-modification intervention. Descriptive and inferential statistics (means, standard deviations, paired t-test, chi-square) were used. Pre-intervention mean practice score was 19.20 (SD = 4.42) and post-intervention mean was 26.16 (SD = 5.87), indicating a statistically significant improvement in stress-management practices. Practice classifications shifted: inadequate practice decreased from 46.6% to 11.7%, moderate practice increased from 53.3% to 65.0%, and adequate practice appeared (23.3%) after intervention. Several demographic variables showed significant associations with post-test categories. Findings suggest the behaviour-modification package improved adolescents? stress-coping practices; recommendations include replication with control groups, larger samples, and school-based integration.
