TITLE A Study on Happiness Level of Football Players of Arunachal Pradesh
ABSTRACT Happiness is an essential psychological factor that influences mental health, motivation, and overall life satisfaction. In the field of sports psychology, happiness plays an important role in determining athletes’ emotional stability, performance, and quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to examine the happiness level of football players from Arunachal Pradesh. A descriptive survey method was employed for the study. A total of 50 male football players aged between 18 and 25 years were selected as subjects through random sampling. The happiness level of the participants was assessed using the standardized Happiness Scale developed by Bhardwaj and Das. Descriptive statistics such as mean and percentage were used to analyze the collected data. The findings revealed that the football players demonstrated a moderate to high level of happiness. The results suggest that regular participation in sports activities, physical fitness, social interaction, and competitive experiences may contribute positively to the psychological well-being of athletes. The study emphasizes the importance of promoting sports participation to enhance the happiness and mental health of youth and athletes.
