ABSTRACT
The present study on life satisfaction and perceived stress among the migrant and non- migrant Indian Students is conducted from a psycho social background where the migration to other countries in seek of better education is in steady rise and the students are found to be experiencing high psycho social distress. On this basis, this research aims to analyse the life satisfaction and perceived stress among the migrant and non- migrant Indian Students. The sample of the research consisted of 50 Migrant Indian Students and 50 Non- Migrant Indian Students. Purposive sampling technique was used for the study. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used to assess the life satisfaction and perceived stress. The data collection was carried using Google forms. Mann Whitney U test was used to find the significant difference between the life satisfaction and perceived stress and the relationship between these variables was examined using Spearman’s rank correlation. The study found that life satisfaction and perceived stress are negatively correlated. Also, no significant difference in life satisfaction and perceived stress were found between Migrant and Non- Migrant Indian student s. However, the mean rank of life satisfaction was higher among migrant students whereas, the mean rank of perceived stress was higher among non-migrant Indian students.
