To collect the data “Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS)” were administered on a random sample of 51 male and 64 female school-going adolescents. In Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS) there are 40 items and with each item a 5-point Likert type scale ranging from 1 to 5 is attached. Total scores can range at the lowest from (1×40) = 40 to at the highest (5×40) = 200 and the ambivalent (midpoint) is (3×40) = 120. The result shows that the mean and standard deviation of MSLSS scores were 158.93 and 19.435 respectively. Here the mean (158.93) was much higher than the ambivalent score (120). Again according to the manual of the test higher scores reflect a greater sense of life satisfaction.

Edulight, 2013
Present study explores the gender difference among adolescents. A sample of 60 intermediate school students has been participant of the current study. There has been always a debate over gender difference issue therefore keeping in mind this study also a step forward to find this difference in relation to life satisfaction and stress. Life Satisfaction and Stress Scale have been administered to collect the data. For analyzing the data t-test has been used in the study. Findings show that there is found no significant gender difference in terms of life satisfaction and stress among adolescents. So it can be said that there is no role of gender in terms of life satisfaction and stress among adolescents. Adolescence is described a stage of change and challenge. If one talks about gender difference among adolescents than it becomes more complicate to define it in accurate orders. There are lots of researches which suggest some aspect for male and other research estimate another aspect for female. This and others lead to it a stressful adolescence. If this is the matter of school going students than it says how overloaded of study related work and social situations demanded students to adjust in one's life. A study revealed that there are statistically significant differences between asthmatic adolescents and healthy controls on BDI, SCL-90R and psychological stress in favour of asthmatic adolescents and on life satisfaction in favour of healthy controls. Life satisfaction correlates negatively with depressive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity, as well as school, emotional, social and family stresses. Asthmatic adolescents are more likely to experience depression, psychopathology, distress and poor life satisfaction than those without asthma (Heba and Hesham, 2010). This gender-linked vulnerability explains why adolescent females are more likely than males to become depressed when faced with negative life events and, particularly, life events with interpersonal consequences (Jill et al., 2000). In adulthood, twice as many women as men are depressed, a pattern that holds in most nations. In childhood, girls are no more depressed than boys, but more girls than boys are depressed by ages 13 to 15. Although many influences on this emergent gender difference in depression have been proposed, a truly integrated, developmental model is lacking. The authors propose a model that integrates affective (emotional reactivity), biological (genetic vulnerability, pubertal hormones, pubertal timing and development) and cognitive (cognitive style, objectified body consciousness, rumination) factors as vulnerabilities to depression that, in interaction with negative life events, heighten girls' rates of depression beginning in adolescence and account for the gender difference in depression (Hyde et al., 2008).
