Author : Dr. Amina Parveen

Abstract :

Academic anxiety, which they claim is the most severe psychological transitional change that occurs in adolescence and significantly affects both emotional intelligence and wellbeing, is one of the major psychological transitional changes that occur in a person's life, along with stress, trauma, depression, and other related issues. Among teenagers enrolled in different schools in the Kashmir District (Akhnoor), this study aims to evaluate the effects of academic anxiety on emotional intelligence and wellbeing. One hundred students, fifty of them male and fifty of them female, from both urban and rural locations made up the sample. The subjects were chosen using a random sample procedure, with an age range of 17 to 19 years. Dr. Anjum Ahmed produced the Psychological Wellbeing scale (PWBS), Sushma Talesara developed the Emotional Intelligence scale (EIS), and Sonal Sharma and Dr. Shakir developed the Academic Anxiety Scale (AAS). A negligible variation has been observed between male and female adolescents residing in rural and urban locations, respectively. These teenagers have distinct explanations and variables contributing to their psychological issues.
