Effect of Trataka and Combination of Trataka and Vipassana on Anxiety of College Students

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of the present study the 30 male students were selected randomly as subjects from the B.P.Ed. class of Government College of Physical Education, Bhubaneswar, Odisha within the age group of 21 to 30 years of age. Anxiety was selected as the dependent variable for the study. Total subjects were divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) equally having 10 numbers of subject in each group. A randomized group design was applied for the study. It is inferred that, though significant decrease in anxiety was recorded between pre and post test scores in both experimental groups, no difference was obtained among the three post test scores as there was initial numerical differences in pretest scores. This might have happened due to less number of subjects in the sample. Keeping in view of the present experimentation and analysis of results it can be concluded that, though a trend of effect was realised in the present study on the effect of experiment A and B group, a more robust inference or conclusion can be made with more number of subjects and differential duration and combination of experimental factors.
