摘要：The purpose of the study was to assess and compare Stress Vulnerability between Sports Persons and Non-Sports Persons. For the purpose of the study, total 300 subjects will be selected in two groups i.e. 150 in sports persons (Individual Games-50, Combative Games-50, Team Games-50) and 150 Non-sports Persons i.e. (I.T.-50, A.G.- 50, B.Sc.-50) were selected randomly on the basis of stratified random sampling. The subjects were selected from Banaras Hindu University and Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith respectively. (Subjects of Institute of Technology (I.T) were selected from Banaras Hindu University only.) The age level of the subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. Keeping the feasibility criterion in mind, the Stress Vulnerability variable was selected for the present study. Stress Vulnerability was assessed with the help of Stress Vulnerability Scale developed by Lyle H. Miller and Alma Dell Smith. To assess and compare the level of Stress Vulnerability between sports persons and non-sports persons, Descriptive Statistics i.e. mean, standard deviation, t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The level of significance was set as 0.05 level. Significant difference was found between sports persons and non-sports persons in relation to Stress Vulnerability. Significant difference was found between the Stress Vulnerability of Sports Persons & Non-Sports Persons. Stress Vulnerability of Sports Persons was found to be more than that of the Non-Sports Persons. Insignificant difference was found among Individual, Team and Combative Game Players in relation to Stress Vulnerability. Significant difference was found among I.T, A.G and B.Sc. Students in relation to Stress Vulnerability. The observed sequence of performance was found B.Sc. > I.T > A.G in relation to Stress Vulnerability.
