The study was conducted to compare between male and female students of I and II PUC on behavioural problems. The sample consisted of 416 pre-university students comprising of 199 male (111- PUC I and 88-PUC II year) and 217 female (112-PUCI and 105 PUC II) students of age group of 16 years to 19 years were selected randomly from five colleges of Bidar city. Revised Behavioural Problems Scale (Quay and Peterson, 1986) was administered on the students of pre-university courses. The data were subjected to‘t’ test analysis. The male students of PUC I and II had expressed more or less similar level of behavioural problems such as conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, anxiety, withdrawal, psychotic behaviour and overall behavioural problems. Correspondingly the female students had expressed similar level of behavioural problems such as conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, anxiety, withdrawal psychotic behaviour and overall behavioural problems. But the male students had expressed more behavioural problems of conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, psychotic behaviour, and overall behavioural problem compared to female students.

In this study an attempt was made to compare between the male students of PUC I and II year on stressful life events and behavioural problems and to know the relationship between stressful life events and behavioural problems. A sample of 199 pre-university students comprising of 111 PUC I and 88 PUC II year male students was selected randomly from five colleges of Bidar city. Stressful life events schedule (Biradar, 2007) and Revised Behavioural Problems Scale (Quay and Peterson, 1986) were used for data collection. The study revealed that male students of PUC II year had experienced more stressful life events in family rlations, peer relations and overall stress compared to male students of PUC I year but the students of I and II PUC had experienced more or less similar level of stressful life events in academic, physical health and psychological. Correspondingly the students of PUC I and II had expressed more or less similar level of behavioural problems such as conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, anxiety withdrawal and psychotic behaviour. The results also revealed that as the stressful life events increases behavioural problem also increases.

The study was conducted to compare between the female students of I and II PUC on stressful life events and behavioural problems and to identify the relationship between stressful life events and behavioural problems among female students of I and II PUC. The sample consisted of 217 pre-university female students of both PUC I (N=112) and PUC II (N=105) age ranged from 16 years to 19 years drawn using random sampling method from five colleges of Bidar city. Stressful life events schedule (Biradar, 2007) and Revised Behavioural Problems Scale (Quay and Peterson, 1986) was administered on the female students of pre-university courses. The data was subjected to ‘t’ test and Karl Pearson’s co-efficient correlation analysis. The results revealed that both PUC I and II year female students had experienced more or less similar level of stress in family relations, peer relations, academic, physical health, psychological aspects and overall stress. Correspondingly they had expressed similar level of behavioural problems such as conduct disorder, socialized aggression, attention problem, anxiety withdrawal and psychotic behaviour. The results also revealed that there was significant positive relationship between stressful life events and behavioural problems among I and II PUC female students.
