Report:

Read the report and answer to the following questions.

[A] Frustrating situations come about everyday everywhere throughout the life, in school,
employment, friendships, marriage, and even in relationships with others. Every one met
with frustration less or more. Burden and more mechanical life have increased stress and
frustration among human being. In psychological terms, frustration is a general emotional
retort to antagonism. In a relation with anger and displeasure, it occurs from the apparent
resistance to the accomplishment of individual will. Now a day’s frustration has increased a
lot. This research work is an attempt to find out the most general reasons of being
frustrated, feelings of frustrated people and to focus on the ways to overcome this silent
disease.
[B] To conduct this study we chose 120 individuals including boys (n=78) and girls (n=42)
from different universities of Noland. Our group selected the individuals from those
universities randomly as per the criteria of the study. Three of us designed a questionnaire
named frustration inventory for university using scientific method which possessed both
close-ended and open ended questions. We ensured its reliability and validity. We executed
simple random technique for the distribution of questionnaire and data collection.
Moreover, we utilized Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for analyzing the data.
During conducting the survey, all the willing participants signed the consent form first. We
briefed them about filling of the questionnaire and assured about confidentiality and their
right to quit at any time if they want. We requested them to ask as many questions as they
feel and to fill whole questionnaire. Respondents took 10-15 minutes to fill the
questionnaire. After collecting data, we started to analyze it.
[C] Diverse responses are received from the survey to the following issues: Causes of
Frustration, Reaction to Frustration, Feelings of Frustration, Reaction to Frustration and
Who Can Help Students in Getting Rid of Frustration. Two of the major findings are
presented here in Figure1 and Figure 2.

Figure 2: Reaction to Frustration

Figure 2 shows, as a reaction to frustration, mostly students face difficulty in making right
decisions. Departing from friends and family has also examined in students as a reaction to
frustration.
From the analysis of the open ended questions, it has been identified that enduring
depressed mood, crying spells, loss of interest or pleasure, decrease in aptitude level,
feeling fatigue and feeling of anger or vengeance are dominant feelings among students
during frustration. Overall results about duration of frustration among university students
have detected that most of the students face frustration for less than one month. Results
also elaborates that friends are most powerful helping hands that can assist a student to
chuck out their frustration. It can be asserted that frustration is devastation for students. It
can hinder their successful life even ruin everything if not handled properly.
Furthermore, as a reaction to frustration mostly students face difficulty in making right
decisions. Departing from friends and family has also examined in students as a reaction to
frustration. Overall results about duration of frustration among university students have
detected that most of the students face frustration for less than one month. Finally, it has
been demonstrated by the results frustration is caused due to any disability like lack of
confidence, social skills etc. has association with age.
Subsequently, bullying by people also has some connection with age. As study shifts toward
feelings of frustration it comes into knowledge that Loss of interest or pleasure also has
some relationship with age. Education level has association with many feelings of
frustration that are discussed in the study. Furthermore, age and education level are also
dependent on difficulty in making decisions as a reaction to frustration.
[D] This research could have been more reliable, if data was collected from more than one
city of Noland. Larger sample could give more accurate upshots. Moreover, we could not
assess cause and effect relationship properly.
[E] Frustration has appeared to be detrimental for students. So to avoid its bad effects and
consequences students must enhance their self-control and will power. They must shift
their focus by engaging themselves in small but demanding activities. Students can also use
different exercises or meditation techniques that can help them to stay calm and develop
optimist behavior. However, as there are several techniques to throw away frustration in a
healthy way, students should itself choose the coping strategy that may flawlessly
compatible to them.
