Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 ATTITUDE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS TOWARDS PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS ON MENTAL ASPECTS BAIJU ABRAHAM Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The main purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude of college students towards the physical education and sports on mental aspects and the secondary purpose of the study was to examine the divergences in the attitudes from the equal probability occurances. One hundred subjects were selected from the Lucknow Christian College, Lucknow for this study. The age of the subjects were ranging from 18-25 years. These subjects were administered a self developed questionnaire. The entire questionnaire comprised of six statements with a cover page, a covering letter and a personal information sheet for respondents. The attitude of respondents towards the physical education and sports on mental aspects were analyzed using the descriptive frequency percentage technique for each of the six statements of the questionnaire on the two alternative choices i.e 'Yes' and 'No'. With regard to the secondary purpose of the study chi square test was used to determine the significance of the divergence in the attitudes of respondents from that of equal probability occurances. Results of this endeavor revealed that college students exhibited a positive attitude towards physical education and sports on mental aspects. The result of this study might be in favour of the good prospective of physical education but it does not depict the actual picture of the scene. Students of the college know the benefit of taking part in physical education and sports programme but do not participate in it. Thus it's a great area of concern for a physical educationist to encase the great opportunity to make popular and fruitful the physical education and sports in our society, so we all can live in a healthy society as well.
