摘要

背景:现代心理学研究引入了 "舒畅 "与 "苦恼 "的概念,强调了压力的潜在积极方面,从而挑战了将压力视为唯一有害因素的传统观点。在印度,针对青少年这一容易受到压力相关健康问题影响的群体,对舒畅和痛苦的不同影响进行的研究十分有限。本研究旨在通过考察印度哈里亚纳邦两个地区公立学校青少年的舒畅压力与身心健康之间的相关性来弥补这一空白:为实现这一目标,我们采用了一种非实验性的定量研究方法。研究涉及 400 名青少年学生样本,性别各占一半,年龄在 15 至 18 岁之间,就读于 10 至 12 年级。参与者是从哈里亚纳邦的两个地区通过系统随机抽样的方式选出的。研究中使用的评估工具包括研究生院健康问卷和优越感量表,用于评估参与者的心理、生理和优越感水平:在这项涉及印度青少年的研究中,我们发现舒畅压力与心理健康之间存在着显著的正相关关系(r = 0.563,P < 0.01),凸显了积极压力在提高心理健康方面的重要作用。值得注意的是,男性参与者的舒畅得分(平均 = 26.63)明显高于女性参与者(平均 = 22.82,P < 0.01),这表明压力反应存在性别差异。此外,我们的研究结果还强调了印度固有的文化差异对青少年如何感知和体验舒畅压力的影响。这些结果表明,迫切需要采取对文化敏感的干预措施来促进青少年的幸福感:这项调查为深入了解印度环境中舒畅压力与青少年健康之间的关系提供了宝贵的资料。这项研究通过强调舒畅和痛苦对青少年健康的不同影响,突出了利用舒畅促进积极发展的潜在优势。未来的研究工作和政策制定可以深入探讨舒畅和苦恼的基本机制,从而为增强青少年健康和整体福祉的战略提供指导。

Exploring the link between eustress and adolescent health in India: An empirical study.

Background: Modern psychological research challenges the conventional view of stress as solely detrimental by introducing the concept of eustress versus distress, emphasizing the potentially positive aspects of stress. In the context of India, limited studies have investigated the distinct effects of eustress and distress on adolescents, a group prone to stress-related health issues. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the correlation between eustress and both mental and physical well-being among adolescents attending government schools in two districts of Haryana, India.

Materials and methods: A non-experimental quantitative research approach was adopted to achieve this objective. The study involved a sample of 400 adolescent students, equally split between genders, aged 15 to 18 years, enrolled in grades 10 to 12. Participants were selected through systematic random sampling from two districts in Haryana. The assessment tools employed in the study included the Post Graduate Institute Health Questionnaire and the Eustress Scale, which were utilized to evaluate the participants' mental, physical, and eustress levels.

Results: In our study involving Indian adolescents, we discovered a substantial positive correlation (r = 0.563, P < 0.01) between eustress and mental health, underlining the valuable role of positive stress in enhancing psychological well-being. Notably, male participants exhibited significantly higher eustress scores (mean = 26.63) than their female counterparts (mean = 22.82, P < 0.01), indicating gender-specific variations in stress responses. Furthermore, our findings emphasized the influence of cultural nuances inherent to the Indian context on how adolescents perceived and experienced eustress. These outcomes emphasize the urgency of culturally sensitive interventions to promote adolescents' well-being.

Conclusion: This investigation contributes valuable insights into the nexus between eustress and adolescent health in the Indian context. The study accentuates the potential advantages of leveraging eustress to foster positive development by underlining the differential influence of eustress and distress on adolescent health. Future research endeavors and policy formulation could delve into the mechanisms underpinning eustress and distress, thus guiding strategies to enhance adolescents' health and overall well-being.
