PROF. VAISHALI S. KENE

Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the impact of yogic practices on a variety of psychological variables that are relevant to college students. 40 college post graduate girls from D.C.P.E., Amravati were chosen at random to fulfill the objective of the study. They were between the ages of 18 and 22. On the basis of pre test the subjects randomly divided into two groups. For 8 weeks, Experimental Group engaged in yogic practices. As the control group did not participate in any training programs other than their work. While there was no dropout during the study, the participants were free to withdraw their consent if they experienced any discomfort while participating. Anger was measured using the Anger Inventory, and stress and anxiety were measured using the DASS Inventory. All of the variables were subjected to pre and post testing. The experimental group received yogic practices for a total of 8 weeks. The significant difference between the treatment means was determined using the dependent ‘t’ test. Anger, stress, and anxiety were significantly reduced in the Yogic practice group, whereas none of the variables were significantly reduced in the control group.
