Abstract
Today it no longer affects only small societies, such as isolated third world countries who fell victim to regular terrorist attacks. Terrorism creates a psychological state of extreme fear and anxiety same as the proportion to the physical damage it causes in terms of loss of life and property. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in healthiness, personality and life satisfaction in students of Haryana and Kashmir. A mixed sample of 200 subjects was taken, out of which 100 was of Kashmir, and 100 was from Haryana. Subjects belonged to an age group of 17 to 25 years. The Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R), Leddy Healthiness Scale (Leddy, 1996) and Satisfaction with life scale (Diener, 1985) were used to measure the above variables. The data was analyzed by using t-test. Results revealed that Haryana students had higher healthiness, wellbeing and life satisfaction than Kashmir students.
