ABSTRACT

The present study was carried out to assess the differences in positive mental health of female volleyball players hailing from urban and rural settings. To conduct the study 120 female intercollegiate volleyball players were selected. Out of these, 60 female intercollegiate volleyball players (Average age 20.22 yrs.) came from urban background and the remaining 60 female intercollegiate volleyball players (Average age 21.92 yrs) came from rural background. Three dimensional positive mental health inventory prepared by Agashe and Helode (2007) was used to assess positive mental health of selected subjects. The result reveals that urban female volleyball players possess more magnitude of positive mental health as compared to rural female volleyball players. It was concluded that positive mental health of female volleyball players may be predicted by their urban-rural belongingness.

Keywords: Positive mental health, urban, rural, female volleyball players.
