In the present study 150 adolescent boys, in the age group of 12-17 years, were selected though random sampling. All the subjects were divided into two groups on the basis of vegetarian and non vegetarian dietary habits, each group consisting of 75 adolescent boys. Behavioural dimensions like problem solving ability, Adjustment, Anxiety and Depression were assessed by using L.N. Dubey's Problem Solving Ability Test, Ragini Dubey's Adolescent Adjustment Scale, Sinha's Comprehensive Anxiety Test and L.N. Dubey's Mental Depression Test. The independent sample 't' test was used for statistical evaluation of the effect of dietary habit. A significant change was noticed in problem solving ability at 0.01 level and rest three other psychological parameters were not found significantly changed. But the mean value showed that vegetarian intake pattern does positively influence the adjustment ability and decrease the level of anxiety and mental depression. | | Keywords : | | |
