The participants were 202 adolescents (102 urban – 50 boys and 52 girls and 100 rural- 50 boys and 50 girls) completed test anxiety scale, family environment scale and emotional stability questionnaire. Sex affects the emotional stability but rest two variables i.e. test anxiety and family environment remain unaffected.
