Abstract
The present study investigated the effect of Residential Background, Type of School and Academic Achievement on General Well-being of Sr. Sec. School Students. A sample of 200 Sr. Sec. School Students was assessed by using simple random sampling technique. General Wellbeing Scale constructed and standardized by Kalia & Anita (2010) was used for collecting data. Data were statistically analyzed by applying t-test. The results of this study depicted that students of rural areas were found significantly higher than students of urban areas on Physical Wellbeing, Emotional Well-being and Social Well-being dimensions. However, students of rural and urban areas were found similar on Global Well-being and School Well-being. Further, the students of Govt. Sr. Sec. Schools were found significantly higher than students of Private Sr. Sec. Schools on Physical Well-being and Emotional Well-being dimensions but the students of Private Sr. Sec. Schools were found significantly higher than students of Govt. Sr. Sec. Schools on Global Well-being dimension. However, students of Govt. and Private Sr. Sec. Schools were found similar on Social Well-being and School Well-being. Further, the high achievers were found significantly higher on Emotional Well-being and School Well-being dimensions. However, high achievers and low achievers were found similar on Physical Well-being, Emotional Well-being and Social wellbeing dimensions.
