Abstract :
The random group experimental study was done to find out the Efficacy of psychoneurobics on selected psychological variables among higher secondary boys. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences on selected psychological variables such as anxiety and Stress due to psychoneurobics among Higher Secondary boys than the control group. For the purpose of the study, 30 higher secondary boys were selected randomly from Chennai district of Tamil Nadu between the age group of 15 to 18 years and they were divided into two groups A and B having 15 subjects each. Pre-test was conducted for the two Groups (A and B) on the selected dependent variables before the start of the training program. Group A was given psychoneurobics; Group B (Control Group) didn't receive any specific treatment, but in active rest. After the experimental period of eight weeks, both Groups (A and B) were retested again on the same selected dependent variables as post-test. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to find out the significant differences between experimental group and the control group. The results of the study proved that psychoneurobics made significant differences on selected psychological variables both Anxiety and Stress (reduced) among Higher Secondary boys. The hypothesis was accepted at 0.05 level of confidence. Hence, it is concluded that psychoneurobics are beneficial to the Higher Secondary boys to reduce anxiety and stress.
