- Description:
- The cause of stress in youth at the Atlanta Job Corp Center was studied to determine the most common type of stress problems exhibited by males and females sixteen to eighteen years of age. The primary focus was to identify stress factors that had a negative impact on the lives of males and females. The investigation utilized the Life Stressors and Social Resources Inventory in seeking answers to the following questions: Is there a significant difference between the physical health of male and female job corp youth ages 16 18? Is there a significant difference in school relationships of male and female job corp youth? Is there a significant difference in the home environment of males and females at the Atlanta Job Corp Center? This study examined stress factors in six youth with behavior disorders placed at the Atlanta Job Corps Center. Stress factors were examined in order to determine the most common type of stress factors exhibited by the research group.
