Abstract :
A study was done to compare the pattern of time use among students with high level of depression and low level of depression. A sample of 40 female students was randomly taken from students of faculty of social sciences, DEI. For the measurement of Depression Level of university students “Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)” was administered on the sample. For the measurement of Time Use Pattern “Pattern of Time Use Scale” was administered on the sample. The results showed that the difference between time spent by the two groups of students on essential routine activities and personality growth activities were significant at .05 level. Normal students spent more time on routine activities and personality growth activities in comparison to students with high depression. The difference in time spent on entertainment activities by the two groups of students was not found to be statistically significant (p>.05).
