Abstract

Aim: Color Therapy as a powerful communication tool possesses the potential to impact emotions, moods, and psychological reactions. This study delves into the significance of colors and their influence on academic stress levels. The research aims to investigate the efficacy of color therapy, specifically utilizing blue and yellow, in alleviating academic stress among high school students. Study Design: Purposive sampling method of research was used. Place and Duration of Study: Saket MGM Senior Secondary School, Vidisha, near Bhopal (MP). The study took almost three months including data collection, one month 8 hours daily (excluding Saturday and Sunday) intervention. Methodology: The sample comprised 150 high school students whose academic stress levels were initially measured by Academic Stress Scale by Kim. Subsequently, students exhibiting moderate to extreme stress levels were exposed to a color intervention and again the stress level was observed. The data was analyzed through Student’s t-test. Results: The findings of the study revealed a substantial reduction in academic stress levels among students after exposure to blue and yellow color therapy. The accompanying statistical analysis, with a significant p-value of less than 0.01, underlines the robust evidence of this positive change. Conclusion: The results suggest that employing specific colors in educational settings may offer a viable and non-intrusive approach to addressing academic stress among high school students. Implications of the study are discussed.
