ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This paper studies the impact of musical religious songs (hymns) for managing stress of Indian Engineering students through Galvanic Skin Response (GSR).OBJECTIVE:
The objective of the paper is to find out, whether listening to hymns is able to reduce the value of GSR.METHODS:
Sample students were selected through initial screening and the students who reported high mental stress during the interview were selected for the main drills. All the readings were taken using a GSR meter. Statistical t-test was used for the purpose of hypothesis testing.RESULTS:
The study examines the relation between GSR and stress. The results indicated that listening to hymns had a significant effect on the value of GSR. The results highlight that GSR decreased at tâ=â300 seconds for the experimental group, who listened to hymns, as compared to control group (not exposed to the same).CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that, this amazingly effortless and yet highly efficient traditional technique of listening to hymns be made a part of student's routine curriculum. The paper aims at spreading awareness of listening to hymns as one of the modes of Stress Management amongst Indian Engineering Students.Palabras clave
