"Assessment of Anxiety among Higher Education Students and Its Relationship with Spirituality "

The present study reports assessment of anxiety levels and its relationship with spirituality among postgraduate students of Mysore University. A total of 100 (66 male + 34 female) students studying in management and humanities were randomly selected for the study. They were administered IPAT anxiety scale (Cattel & Scheier, 1963) and Spirituality scale (Piedmont, 1999). Results revealed that an alarming 43% of the students suffer from morbid anxiety and only 4% of them were found to be secure. Demographic variables like gender, age and course did not have influence over anxiety. Further, students with different levels of anxiety did not differ in their spirituality scores. A general discussion on anxiety reduction techniques were also described at the end.
