In the busy world of school, stress can feel like a powerful storm, shaping how well
students do. With exams, competition, and big expectations, understanding how stress
affects performance is super important. Helping students handle this storm can make
all the difference in their journey. The primary purpose of this study was to explore the
correlation between academic stress and performance, delving deeper into potential
gender differences. A total of 186 students participated in the study by completing the
academic stress scale by Rajendran and Kaliappan, and Academic Performance Scale
by Christopher McGregory. Descriptive statistics (mean and SD), and Pearson
Correlation, one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data collected. The
study revealed a significant negative correlation between academic stress and
performance, particularly evident across five dimensions: Personal Inadequacy, Fear
of Failure, Interpersonal Difficulties with Teachers, Teacher-Pupil Relationship/Teaching
Methods, and Inadequate Study Facilities. Interestingly, girls exhibited higher levels of
stress, while also showcasing higher academic performance.

The present study was carried out to identify whether perceived parenting has a significant
relationship with the development of maladaptive schemas and whether perceived
parenting predicts the development of maladaptive schemas among adolescents. The
sample of the study consisted of 300 adolescents (male = 140 and female = 160) from
the state of Goa. The measures used for the purpose of the study were the Young
Parenting Inventory (YPI – R2) (2018) by Louis, J. P., Wood, A., & Lockwood, G. and the
Young Schema Questionnaire (1998) by Young & Brown. The statistical analyses applied
were Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation and Regression Analysis. The results of
the study indicated that there exists a significant positive correlation between perceived
parenting and the development of maladaptive schemas. The study also suggested that
perceived parenting significantly and positively predicted the development of maladaptive
schemas. Further, the implication of the study is discussed..
