The increasing stress among the Indian emerging adults and its debilitating effects
on their health are major concerns of the present time. In today’s world, stress is an
omnipresent factor of life and individuals mainly in their early 20s are mostly affected by
it. Many scholars have identified the college going age as the most stress prone time
of life (Cress &Lampman, 2007; Pierceall&Keim, 2007). The major sources of stress in
early adulthood can be grossly classified as intrapersonal stress (38%), environmental
stress (28%), interpersonal stress (19%), and academic stress (15%)(Ross, Niebling&
Heckert, 1999).Moreover, financial problems, ambiguity about future plans, academic
grade anxiety and relations with opposite sex have also been found as the risk factors
for inducing stress (Chao, 2012; Otrar, Eksi, Dilmac&Sirin, 2002; Ross, Niebling, &
Heckert, 1999).
