Adolescence is a crucial phase in one’s life and the presence of conditions like depression, anxiety and stress at this stage of life is a matter of serious concern. Academic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure and physical and psychological changes accompanied with this stage of life can make the adolescents stressed out, anxious and depressed. Gender has been found to be associated with these problems. The present study was undertaken to measure and compare the stress, anxiety and depression among male and female school going adolescents. It was hypothesized that female adolescent students would have significantly higher level of stress, anxiety and depression. A total sample of 60 male adolescent students (30 Hindu and 30 Muslim) and 60 female adolescent students (30 Hindu and 30 Muslim) from 5 private high schools of Hazaribag district were selected. Quota sampling was used to select the sample. Data regarding socio-demographic characteristics were collected by a self-constructed Personal Data Sheet. Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-42 (DASS-42) was used to study the variables of stress, anxiety and depression. Data was analyzed using mean and Mann Whitney U test. Results indicated that female adolescent students had significantly higher level of stress than male adolescent students (p<0.05).But no significant gender difference was found in terms of anxiety and depression.
