Abstract
Study Background: The research presented titled “Are extracurricular activities stress busters to enhance students’ well-being and academic performance? Evidence from a natural experiment” by Hasirumane Venkatesh Mukesh, Vrinda Acharya, Rajasekharan Pillai is drawing on stress-coping theory and the extracurricular activity (ECA) literature, the current study investigates the intervention of ECA participation on students’ coping, academic performance, and well-being in a natural setting.
Research Goals and Hypotheses: The primary goal is to develop an observer-based estimator for the orifice flowmeter capable of precisely determining the actual flow rate despite various disturbances.
Methodological Approach:
The study follows a “cross-sectional post-test only quasi-experimental design” using a natural experimental setting.
Results and Discoveries:
The findings indicate that participation in ECA has a significant influence on academic outcomes. Different types of ECA participation influence well-being, whereas time spent on ECA positively affects academic performance. Further, the findings also indicate that involvement in ECA moderates the relationship between academic stress and coping.
