Education in current scenario involves lots of competition giving rise to academic stress in school children. It might emerge from anticipated academic challenges or failure. Support from parents, teachers and friends becomes all more important under these conditions. Lack of such support in the presence of academic stress might affect the psychological wellbeing of school children. Thus, the current study aims to see the association between academic stress, perceived social support and psychological wellbeing among school students. Sample comprised of 40 school students selected on the purposive basis using cross-sectional study design. Scales consisted of Academic stress scale (Kohn & Frazer, 1986), Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (Zimet & Dahlem, 1988) and General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg & Hiller, 1979). The analysis comprised of means, standard deviations and correlations by using SPSS (version-20.0). The result consisted of the effects of academic stress and perceived social support on the psychological wellbeing.Keywords

Inhibition of return (IOR) is a robust phenomenon that refers to slow response at previously seen location than new location. IOR helps attention to orient towards novel or uncued locations. In the present study effect of cue (valid & invalid cue) and task type (Discrimination & detection tasks) is explored on the IOR phenomenon during sustained attention tasks. A 2 (Task type: Detection & Discrimination Tasks) x 2 (Cue Validity: Valid & Invalid) x 3 (time period: blocks of 10 min) mixed factorial design with repeated measure on the last two factors has been employed. Correct detection and RT were taken as performance measures. Results revealed significant effect of cue on correct detection. Participants detected more targets under valid cue condition than invalid cue in discrimination task in all three blocks while in detection task after the first block participants detected more targets under invalid cue than valid cue. RT results showed that response was facilitated under valid cue than invalid cue condition. Thus, the findings showed that IOR was not seen in discrimination as well as detection task. Probably the SOA level was not sufficient to generate the IOR. Small sample size and nature of task also may be responsible for not generating the IOR.Keywords
