Effectiveness of self-affirmation exercises on control of depression, anxiety, and stress among the adolescents in the selected destitute home at Puducherry.

(b) To assess the effectiveness of self-affirmation exercises on control of depression, anxiety and stress among the adolescents residing in selected destitute home at Puducherry. (c) To evaluate the post-test level of depression, anxiety and stress among the adolescents. (d) To determine the association on pre-test level of depression, anxiety and stress of the adolescents with selected demographic variables. Pre experimental one group pre test post test design was adopted for the study. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample of 100 adolescents. They were assessed by using DASS SCALE. The data were analyzed in terms of both descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results proved that the effectiveness of self affirmation in controlling depression anxiety and stress was evident by comparison of pretest and post test level of depression, anxiety and stress using a paired ‘t’ test. The ‘t’ value of 0.740; 1.305; 1.566 showed that it was statistically highly significant at p<0.001 level which clearly showed that self affirmation exercises can be used in controlling depression anxiety and stress among adolescents.
