Introduction
A study on 235 university students is intended to be conducted who has attended a
university of mental health clinic. This study aims to investigate four research hypothesis by
using social studies application software i.e., SPSS. This investigation will revolve around
mental, social and academic issues and capabilities of 235 students. Developed research
hypothesis are presented below:
 H1: There is no relationship between family problems and addiction & depression
severity of participants
 H2: The mean for peer support perceived by students having social problems and
students not having social problems is same.
 H3: There is no relationship between substance use and police records
 H4: There is no changes in self reported difficulties in relation to studies over time.
The above developed hypotheses are selected by considering their rationale which states that
the hypotheses will be able to analyse whether problems faced in personal life (family problems)
impacts and induces the addiction and depression severity in students. Besides this, a hypothesis
has been devised for this investigation with the rationale of analysing whether support received
from peers can reduce the social problems gained by students or not. The above hypotheses not
only focuses on societal and mental issues but also concerned over the academic aspects due to
which a hypothesis has developed stating whether the difficulties in studies increase with every
term or not. Along with all these aspects, a hypothesis is created which can help in identifying
the relationship between the drug use and police record by which an analysis will be gain that
which substance encourages criminal activities in participants.
Methods
Regression is an inferential statistics model which is used to test hypothesis 1 as there are
two continuous and one categorical variable. This model is only justified by the type of variables
used but is also justified because of the correlation coefficient which will help to identify
existence of any significant relationship between dependent and impendent variables.
Independent samples t-test is used to test the hypothesis 2 as this model is appropriate for
factor variable having two categories which in this case are Yes and No categories of social
problems. This model will help to first compute mean of peer support in both the categories and
