/0 Comments/in /by

Chocolate has shown to be linked with stress relief, better memory, and better mood in some reports. Also, chocolate consumption is one of the popular food indulgences in Thailand. Thus, this survey research aims to investigate the correlation between chocolate consumption behaviors and stress levels in secondary school students in the Bangkok metropolitan region. We also try to observe the habits of consuming chocolate in Thai secondary school students and how this consumption of chocolate will be related to stress levels. We collected a sample group voluntarily by using online questionnaires, which obtained a total of 335 participants. The questions were assessed on a Likert-scale from 1 to 5 and were then analyzed by valid percentages, mean, standard deviation, one-way ANOVA(F-test), and the Pearson correlation. The results of the study reveal that chocolate consumption has a significant role in stress reduction among secondary school students; however, the R-value of 0.284 in this study is quite low, which indicates a slight correlation between chocolate consumption and stress levels. Focusing on each gender, it is evident that females tend to have more stress than males. Also, we observed that different grades have different stress levels. This study could be further improved by expanding the age demographic of the participants to not only cover teenagers but also by increasing the radius of the survey region to cover more people. Nevertheless, this research suggests that consuming chocolate could be an option in relieving stress.

There are a lot of things students have to do in a day, which is why time management or lists of things to get done are important for them in order to have a good quality. Sleep is the time where they can recharge their energy for the next day. In order to get things done to their full potential, we need to have a good rest at night. It’s a sure thing that different people have different amounts of sleep or the time they go to bed each night. This also applies to secondary school students in Thailand, where they have varied amounts of sleep hours and may consequently affect their time management. Thus, our study aims to find out the correlation between sleep quality and time management of secondary school students in Bangkok. To determine the correlation of the factors, we conducted a cross-sectional survey. All data was collected by sending out a survey questionnaire about sleep quality and time management to secondary school students in Bangkok. The data from 216 participants was then analyzed. The outcomes from Pearson’s correlation test reveal a positive correlation between the assigned variables, which indicates that increasing sleep hours improve time management of the students. This study would put into picture that time management does affect students’ sleep quality and may potentially be put to use backing up potential changes that could be made to our country’s educational system.
