Life satisfaction has been referred to as a person's cognitive judgment of life as a whole. It is defined as "a cognitive, judgmental process which depends upon a comparison of one's circumstances with what is thought to be an appropriate standard". In adults, research has demonstrated that positive and negative major life events (e.g, getting married or becoming unemployed) have an effect on life satisfaction In addition to major life events, daily events such as daily hassles, or chrome everyday stressors, contribute to how an individual rates his or her satisfaction with life. Stress is defined as a person's psychological or physiological response to environmental factors, in which stress is seen as both the stimulus (stressor) and the response (strain). Based on this perspective, stress often happens when the demands of a particular experience is about to exceed the resources available, thus, leading to a change in the person's psychological and physiological condition in order to deal with the experience. So, a stressful situation occurs when a person exert an impact on and responds to his/her environment. Stress has a negative impact on wellbeing and seems to be highly related with life satisfaction. Studies have supported that lower levels of life satisfaction have been related to high stress. The present study aims to examine the relationship of life satisfaction with stress in college teachers.For this purpose,data of 50 college teachers servingg in different professional courses has been taken. The scale used for investigation is: Life Satisfaction Scale by Alam and Snvastava (2001) to measure life satisfaction areas and "Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale" by Singh et al. (2011) to measure stress level. The obtained data was subjected to statistical analysis and main findings and implications have been discussed.Keywords

The purpose of the investigation was meant to study the relationship between self efficacy and academic achievement. The study comprised of 150 students from two unaided schools randomly selected from Chandigarh, UT. The tool used for the data collection was Self Efficacy questionnaire for children (SEQ-C) by Muris, P. (2001) which measured academic, social and emotional self efficacy. For academic achievement, data was collected from previous academic scores in class. The obtained data were analysed by using Pearson product moment correlation and by using ‘t’ test. The results revealed that there exists a significant positive relationship between self efficacy and academic achievement of 10th grade Students of Chandigarh city. No significant differences were found between high and moderate level of academic achievement with respect to their Self- Efficacy in various areas i.e. academic, social and emotional. However, significant difference with respect to social and total efficacy have been found between the students with moderate and low level of academic achievement. In addition, significant differences were found between high and low level of academic achievement with respect to their self –efficacy in all the areas i.e. academic, social and emotional. On the basis of results, it has been concluded that the self-efficacy and its sub- skills components should be emphasized in education and explicitly taught to the students.Keywords
