Objective: To assess the effectiveness of a Self-Affirmation Intervention in enhancing Self-Integrity,Self-control, and alleviating Academic stress among students facing the double jeopardy challenge.Method: The study uses self-Integrity scale, self-control scale and stress Inventory on a sample of 64 migrant female students from three government schools in Jalandhar, Punjab, India. Additionally, the self-affirmation intervention program developed by Cohenet al., (2006) (Adapted in Hindi Language)is employed for the Intervention phase.The study began with a pre-test involving 64 migrant female students. Participantswere split into Experimental (Intervention) and Control (no Intervention) groups. After pre-test an Intervention is given to the experimental group. A second Intervention was given to the Experimental group 45 days later, while the Control group had no additional Intervention, followed by post-tests for both groups.Results: The findings indicate that migrant girls in the Experimental group demonstrate elevated levels of self-Integrity and self-control compared to those in the Control group. Furthermore, a significant reduction in academic stress is observed in the Experimental group, while no substantial difference is noted in the Control group.
Conclusion: These findings contribute to the needs of vulnerable student populations. The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of the self-affirmation Intervention strategy suggest its potential for widespread adoption across schools without necessitating specialized teacher training.
