Stress is a person's psychology and physiological response to the perception of a demand or challenge. The present study arms at exploring the causes of stress and its management among the girls residing in hostels. The study being exploratory in nature, focus group discussion (FGD) was chosen for data collection. Focus group discussion was held with girls in the age group l8 to 24 years. A semi structured interview schedule was prepared for the focus group discussion. Each focus group was audio taped and then transcribed for further analysts. Response themes indicated that after leaving their home now they have new roles and responsibilities, which causes stress in their daily routine as they have to manage everything on their own. Some girls expressed concern about the health and worries of the at-home parent, for most of them the mother is the central figure who helps in dealing with stressful situations. Further, social media, their friends and other hostel mates play very important role in their life now.Keywords

The advent of the internet has dramatically changed our life, positively as well as negatively. Internet addiction is one such negative consequence of it. The present study aims at exploring how personality, loneliness, and affect (positive & negative) predict internet addiction among University students. Four psychological tools were used to measure the variables taken in the study. Internet addiction was measured by Online Cognition Scale (OCS), Personality was measured by Eysenck's MPI (Short), Loneliness was measured by UCLA Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS), and affect was measured by PANAS. Cronbach's alpha of these scales on the present sample was: OCS (0.88), UCLA-LS (0.79), PANAS (Negative Affect 0.68, Positive Affect 0.77), and MPI (Extraversion 0.33, Neuroticism 0.58). Data were collected from a sample size of 182 participants of undergraduate and postgraduate classes. They are between the age group of 18 to 25 years. Their mean age is 19.76 years. Multiple correlation indicate a significant correlation (0.34, p<0.001) among all the variables chosen in the study and all the predictors explained significant variance in the internet addiction. Loneliness and Negative Affect emerged as the significant predictors of internet addiction in the present study.Keywords
