PERCEIVED LONELINESS AMONG INDIAN STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD

The present study was conducted on a sample of 100 Indian students who are pursuing their education at foreign universities. The data was further stratified into male and female as well as graduate and postgraduate students. The study mainly aimed at finding out the differences in perceived loneliness among Indian students studying abroad with respect to their gender and level of education. The data was collected with the administration of the Perceived Loneliness Scale (1997) by Dr.Parveen Kumar Jha. The careful analysis of data, helped the investigator to infer that there is no significant difference in the perceived loneliness among Indian students studying abroad with respect to their gender and level of education.
