Abstract
A study was conducted on 120 high school going children to find out the effect of gender, locality, type of management and TV viewing hours on their mental health. Mental health inventory developed and standardized by Reddy (1994) was used to assess the mental health of the subjects. Results revealed that there are significant differences between boys and girls, rural and urban, government and private management school students and the amount of time spent on TV viewing on their mental health. Boys adopted better mental health than girls; students residing in urban locality were better in their mental health; subjects hailing from private schools are good in their mental health and the student whose TV viewing hours are less, possess good mental health.
