Abstract:
The current study seeks to ascertain the relationship between academic stress and binge eating among students preparing for competitive exams. Students preparing for competitive exams were divided into three groups: first-attempters, second-attempters/dropouts, and alternate career pursuers along with preparing for competitive exams. Participants included N=187 students studying in schools and colleges of Gurgaon, Haryana. The Stress Scale developed by Vijaya Lakshmi and Shruti Narain (SS-LVNS) was used to assess the participants' academic stress levels. The Binge Eating Scale, developed by J. Gormally et al. in 1982, was used to assess the participants' levels of obesity. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS, Version-28. Participants with low stress levels made up 3.74%, while those with high stress levels made up 40.6%. Participants with severe binge eating levels made up 33.68% of the total, while non-bingeing levels made up 31.01%. The findings revealed that there is a link between academic stress and binge eating. The greater one's academic stress, the greater one's binge-eating levels. The findings also revealed that 2nd attempters/drop-outs have high levels of academic stress as compared to other two groups.
