These are wellknown towns of North Bihar. The break up of the total sample comprises Government school teachers (n=45) and Govt. school Nonteacher (n=45) and similarly Missionary School teachers (n=45) and Missionary School Non -teacher (n=45). Total respondents" age were ranged between 30 to 58 years of age. Having collected the information on the problem through questionnaire schedule, the data were tabulated as per norms of the schedule for giving statistical treatment.
